New EP "GARLAND RD" w/ live band FREE DOWNLOAD - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PRQIFEAJ
Residing in my home town of Dallas, I have taken my music to the road and have been writing songs now for 4 years. There's not much to tell about myself or my music. Just have a listen to my free album "Ideas". Some songs can resemble folk of the old days, come can resemble music of another continent, some just good old rock n' roll or blues, but mostly it just represents the sounds that I've collected in my head from all my homes and recorded with one mic and a crappy IBM. Check back often for new songs and new happenings.

"...Garland blends fresh takes of old folk, americana, and blues with a psychedelic/garage influence...[his] music sounds like everything you have heard attempted, but never quite done like this. Bob Dylan comparisons are sure to ensue, although that may be a little unfair--his music should and does stand on its own." - http://thefreakflagfliesagain.blogspot.com/

Honestly man, I think its great. Sure their is more of a jazz emphasis in there, but I don't think it betrays your listeners from the first album. I like that it doesn't sound too much like what's coming out of most of the "blogworld." I can definitely hear where both of the new tunes are coming from so it doesn't seem like an illogical step at all. I've always felt like I could hear a Belle & Sebastian influence in the way your songs progress, which is great thing as well as apparent in these new songs, in my opinion. I say stick with the way you are going. You're first album was gently eclectic so I think you have unlimited possibilities, really. Let me know when you have some more stuff up. Are you gonna be back in Dallas around December?
I'm loving these new songs man! I never did get around to blogging the news you gave me, I just didn't blog this summer, but I will most definitely have a post up asap!
New music please!! I think i worn your cd out in the first week i burned it by listening to it about 20 times a day in wich i still do ha, much respect for your talent, hope you go somewhere soon mann, thanks for the music.
Yey! Well, nothing too much besides this chill that started yesterday. I don't like it. I start school in November. I wish i could sleep away the next two months. How are you!
Sweet! I can't believe you found that kind of instrument for that good of a deal... And the its in good condition?
That's awesome to hear! Is this one gonna be pressed on CD/LP or something? And I will most definitely post on it, I've been lazy lately and haven't updated much but I need to get back into the swing of it. I think I will have some more writers soon too!
We just wanted to tell you that we have new songs up on our profile of our upcoming EP, -After Death There Is Nothing- We hope you enjoy them. They are called "Diana", "Fire" and "Kids And Celebrities". We'll let you know the date of our EP release party very soon.
