EASY DOES IT: bluesy Americana piece, very guitar-based but not too notey. Steady, drifting tempo for a relaxed summer feeling. The guitar plays a chordal lead and solos, and bass, drums and percussion hold down a funky beat. Overall, the groove is an R&B feel with some blues-rock guitar traits. Instrumental, RnB, Country-Soul
HOME SWEET HOME: soul jazz guitar piece with a funky slow groove, aiming for that retro Motor City sound. Originally a solo guitar piece, here it is accompanied by bass, drums and a Rhodes and done more of an 80's R&B style. Instrumental, RnB, 1970's Vintage RnB
