Welcome....

The Rivergods have just celebrated their tenth year....and our first at IAC. What you'll find here is a collection of songs from our first two releases, along with some previously unreleased from "RIVOLVER", a ten-year retrospective collection of unreleased "B-sides" (available for free download here) reflecting the band's evolution and musical growth over the last decade.

Also, if you're so inclined, check out the slide show of the Rgods live show in "News and Happenings" to the right ...(photo credit to our friend and photographer, Brandon Mosley).....

Many thanks and a slew of kudos to the staff of IAC and our many new friends here who regularly share their talents and make IAC the best indie site on the net...and for making this a great year for the Rivergods. Enjoy the music (more to come) and on behalf of the Rivergods, thanks for listening.

May the Muse be with you!
Mike

live @ the Bank St. Cafe
h h
Ballad of Miss Lucinda
a real heel-kicker written around the lovely Miss Lucinda, a character reminiscent of John Prine's "Come Back To Us Barbara Lewis Hare Krishna Beauregard" (Time Has Come, 2002)

Country Roots Rock
h h
Epilogue
A "valse triste" about movin' forward (Capsule, 2001)

Slow Fire ( IAC mastered from mp3)
Out of curiosity, and because it had not yet been mastered, I submitted Slow Fire to the IAC mastering service. I now understand the mp3 is a low quality file, but it's what I had on-hand. I think it turned out pretty well. Definitely an improvement.I put both versions back to back for the equally curious.

Melodic Slow Rock
h h
T.D.W (Truck Drivin' Woman)
Eighteen wheels and a dozen roses played backwards

alternabilly
h h
Anchor's Weight
Another from "Capsule", this one has a bit of a Celtic feel to it. Highlights are Amanda's viola and Nan's gifted vocal talent.

Folk/Acoustic Rock/Americana
h h
Ten Mile Yearning
a medium tempo country-ish ballad...sweet vocal harmony interwoven with pedal steel and viola...from "Capsule", released 2001 (one of my personal favorites)

Alt-country
h h
Last Train
"Booze and pills, your habits...they are institutions"

Miscellaneous
h h
(Ode to a) Lone Star Girl
from the "RIVOLVER" collection...free download ( here )

Folk/Acoustic Rock/Americana
h h
Sometimes You Don't Get It
a flat out rocker, heavy on the electric guitar spontaneous session jam (Time Has Come, 2002)

Roots Rock
h h

Damn - missed you at Stash's I could have swung by on my way back from Christopher's. We're at the mighty Stash's in a couple of weeks - will let you know more when we've got it (it's a happy hour set, 7-10pm). See you Friday!

Hi Mike...Thanks for stoppin' by my neglected page. I see your message was dated the day after my hard drive crashed :-( Took two weeks to get back on line and and i'm still trying to reload programs and deal with all the lost links and stuff. What a mess.
It sure was one hell of a cold and snowy winter here...kinda like i remember them being when i was a kid in the 50's. We made her though...and i got some good time in up in my studio. Completed a long in the works blues/rock album. I'll be uploading a new tune every other week, so if ya think of it and ya have time, stop by and see what ya think. Gotta get over and hear your new tunes. Take care man...Pine

Thank you
All the best

Mmmaaaaaaaaaaate

I can't believe I haven't been here since the awards--------you guys were awesome
Jammers / Gods = 2 so you must be feeling the same as me!!

To settle myself I pretend that we got the noms but no awards ----that's how it usually is----!!
helps me get to sleep , and slow down-----I guess "back to normal" will come soon enough!!
