This store has been conceived, designed, and published for - and is affectionately dedicated to - the discerning seekers of unreasonable singer-songwriter CDs, pristine acoustic fingerstyle guitar MP3s, slow-brewed and skewed Scottish acoustic guitar songs, the consumers of corrugated reflections on love and peace (those old enemies!), lovers of unmanicured fingerpicking acoustic guitar, discriminating shoppers for examples of very best from we band of fierce independent singer-songwriters and for those incorrigible aficionados of coruscating acoustic fingerstyle guitar CDs, everywhere! And not only that...

...For the convenience of dedicated devotees of digital downloads who prefer music on the move, fans of acoustic songs on fingerstyle guitar can download Interim Reports either as a complete album by individual MP3 (see below).

If that’s all a bit of a mouthful, then put simply Interim Reports is a collection of self-penned acoustic guitar songs I regularly perform at folk clubs and other acoustic venues and is in part a response to the kind comments about them on these occasions. All the songs are played on solo fingerstyle guitar, are of varied vintage, and were recorded for Interim Reports in 2005 and 2006. The CD was released at the end of August of '06 and I'm very, very proud that it has been warmly welcomed, particularly in my home country of Scotland.

Interim Reports is available either as CD or MP3 download. The CD can be obtained using either of the purchase options on the right.

About The Songs and Free Fingerstyle Tabs, Guitar Notation and Song Lyrics

A short narrative about each song can be found by clicking on the titles in table on the right. I’ve written these sketches lest it not be clear that my preoccupations when writing them were unrequitedness, tax debt, bullfighting, hills, insobriety, damn lies, the 2nd law of thermodynamics, rolling uphill, fly-fishing, one-night stands, and the contrast between the chat-up lines of the Gaels and French savoir faire. In addition, prospective purchasers who find the singing Scottish accent indecipherable can also find the lyrics on these pages.

Acoustic guitar players (and anyone else with an interest!) can view and download the scores of the fingerstyle guitar parts - which are written in both standard notation and tablature - by using the links provided.

Elsewhere I have written down some reflections on the recording of Interim Reports and a description of the studio where it was recorded, edited and mixed. Enjoy!
 

Finally, the title of the album deliberately points to the album’s place in the scheme of things. As your read this, further “reports” are in the making. Look out for some “Uneasy Listening” in 2008!
