"American Blues" by Rod Coleman

Like the first two albums released from this archive, “Leftovers” is a selection of tunes that were (mostly) written in the early 1990s, and later recorded and enhanced in home studios between 2018 and 2026.

“Twenty One” contains ten songs originally written and recorded between 1987 and 1993, that were later reproduced and/or converted into digital recordings in various “Groovebirds Music” home studios between 2018 and 2025. I had originally intended to record and release these songs in the mid 1990s, but I put the project aside when another song recorded during that time ("Seven Years Strong") caught the attention of two “industry professionals” who altered my course (and absconded with the master tapes from those sessions). A few “quick-mixes” that had been created in the early stages of the project, however, survived . . . And I subsequently released them in an EP entitled, “7”&“21.”
“Twenty-One” includes remixes of “Dog Eat Dog,” “Twenty-One,” and “Bitter” from that EP, plus seven other songs that were written for the original project.
A limited number of compact discs and cassette copies of both projects are currently available at /a-few-things-musical.
