Sounds Like: A little of this, a little of that... Rock, Country, Folk, etc. etc. My songs tend to be different from each other -- what holds them together as a body of work is that they're all me.
I've been doing a lot of home recording lately and that stuff is as all over the map as I can make it. Lots of avant garde stuff, some rock, some folk, some country.
