You guys are tuned in! Nice Charles Manson clips. I'd love to hear more of your stuff. It is great. Let me guess, BJM fans?

Keep it coming.

Good album

I like how it sounds for the singing and the music. It is very moody and atmospheric. Do more, man! I'd love to hear what else you come up with.

All the best!

Nice Musicianship

The quality is great and very musical and calming like a dream. Wish I understood French. My ancestors did. Keep up the good work. Would like to see a full length album. All the best.

I really like the EP. The melody in "Grass Girl" is very cool and I like the combo of sitar with country-rock. And I saw your hula reference. Nice we have something in common. I like the Biblical reference of Adam and Eve.

"Shine in the Rain" sounds a bit like a band called the Tyde. Probably you've heard of. I like the voice. Kinda nasaly. The drums are very hip here.

"There is no law" has a great arrangement. I'm hearing a little Kinks influence.

And finally the last one, I like the lap steel guitar. The song sounds a bit like one of of Bob Dylan's Nashville Skyline album.

I give you 2 thumbs up for sure. Hope you'll check out my other albums I have up.

Man Alive!!

I just downloaded this album and have been listening to it nonstop. I guess you are stickin' it to the man! Who needs record companies?

Your music is inspiring. I can relate. Kinda fake it till you make it.

The first track, "Making Me Nervous" is one of my favorites. "Fixing My Brain" well the title is just wonderful. "Overreacting" another good one.

It is hard trying to be an artist without the help. Borderline is also great. Keep it up. I hope you'll stop by my place and listen to my stuff.

All the Best,
Serious fan

Nice Vibes

You are a very good with the production and arrangements here. The sounds create a nice vibe. I can hear a bit of Jobim in the piano playing. And I liked the collaboration, too.

Personal data

Jim Guittard has rambled his way across the States in his musical pursuit. He has lived in Gunnison, Colorado, Dallas, Texas, Hollywood, California, and Bulgaria. Since the age of eleven, Guittard has been involved in music to some degree. Guittard played the trombone and in his freshmen year of high school he took up the guitar. Maybe having “Guittard” as a last name made playing guitar his passion. During college, Guittard played in jazz bands and recorded on his 4-track. He worked in an insurance office for three years and escaped off to Hollywood. Guittard will admit that he is proud to have clicked his boots among The Brian Jonestown Massacre scene for awhile in Silverlake, California before it all blew up with the release of Dig!. He played in a duo called The Ragas with the son of Roger McGuinn who was the founder of the ‘60’s group The Byrds. You'll find the Ragas at Jamendo to here: www.jamendo.com/en/artist/The_Ragas His blog can be found here: http://guittard.wordpress.com and you can go to this ccmixter site to download his mp3 source to many of his songs to remix: http://ccmixter.org/people/JGidd
