Return of The Twangster with "Jamabilly", "Big Ones in Texas", "Matchbox" and "Ziggy's Return"

Emboldened by TropicalRob’s musical postings on You Tube, I’ve decided to inflict some more “product” on my readers - safe in the knowledge that, after all, you don’t have to listen to any of it.  Above, you'll find "Jamabilly", which I’m rather pleased with.  It’s a jaunty but controlled little number with few surprises, but some classic rockabilly guitar riffs and a cheeky little organ part: "Jamabilly".

                            

Next up, "Big Ones in Texas", which started off as a slow Texas Blues  drone (E5, G5, A5, G5, E5 etc.), but which was so dreary I changed all the guitars around, inserted some “Green Onions”-style organ sections near the end, and whacked the beats-per-minute up by 25 to 150.

Having used my own voice on a number of tracks, I recently came up with one which I can just about bear to post. It’s my take on the Carl Perkins rockabilly classic, "Matchbox". I’ve adopted a Sleepy La Beef bass baritone for the number, which sounds slightly less awful than my other attempts at singing:

                          

Finally, here’s one I made earlier - six years ago, to be precise, when I was still trapped in the nightmare “Blue Screen of Death” world of Bill Gates. “Ziggy’s Return” (our cat had been lost for six weeks and I was just finishing this off when my wife finally located him - hence the title). It’s a bit bonkers: I was that kid let loose in a sweet-shop, only the sweets were VST instruments. Still, for all its myriad faults , I’ve always been quite fond of it (the song, not the cat). I warn you - it’s very loud compared to the other tracks.
