Completed Albums
Land of Second Chances(2007)
Collection of rock, blues and country. It has taken on a real "international" flavor. I have contributions from Australia (2), Sweden, England as well as California, Oregon, Tennessee, Maryland, Virginia and Boston. It turned into a big collaboration!
No Thunder(2008)
Collection of songs written in February for RPM and FAWM. I did try and go towards folk/country "story" songs -- with a couple of diversions.
When That Hammer Comes Down(2009)
A mostly country-style album with co-writes from members of jpfolks.com and fenderforum.com. Got some sing-alongs, guitar picking and (gasp!) BIAB instrumentation.
Ole Stomping Ground(2010)
Pretty varied (I hope) collection of tunes. Some Americana, some rock, one jazzy tune and a few other undesirables. Me on guitars, bass, percussion and vocals. Bethan, Joice and Colin help out on vocals and I use BIAB in a few places. All in all, a good month.

Thunderbird Motel(2011)
Formerly cville ramblings! 2011 is RPM #5 for me. This year I will be bringing in songs already created and just try and do good recordings of them. My plan might change, though -- who knows. I gotta change things up every year to keep it fresh and new! I will also try and turn out 14 new lyrics over at fawm.org.
Note 2/1/11: I changed my user name to Kevin Emmrich, so albums from 2007 - 2010 are probably still under cville ramblings.

2012(2012)
Collection of tunes written for FAWM and RPM in February 2012. No real overall theme -- just wrote 'em as they came. Four of the 10 songs were FAWM "songskirmishes" where you were given a title and had to go write/record a song in one hour.
