From the Jeff Wyatt album: Wanted (Soundtrack to Mike Reilly's "Tumbleweed") (writer: unknown - public domain) According to Wikipedia, the origins of this song appear to date back to 1870 in the northern Red River Valley region of Manitoba Canada during the time of the Wolseley Expedition. And although the name James Kerrigan was the first to be associated with the first printed versions of the song in 1896 (under the title “Bright Mohawk Valley”), the song was actually written by an unknown author almost 30 years prior. Canadian west coast comedy scriptwriter MIKE REILLY of Canamera Entertainment (Radio Comedy Shows) has created another gem to add to his growing repertoire of radio ready audio drama productions. This time it’s built on a cowboy western theme, entitled TUMBLEWEED; a fictional Wild West frontier town complete with colorful period characters. Every movie or audio drama deserves a corresponding musical soundtrack. With this in mind, Mike hired Jeff to create suitable music for this fun Wild West production and "Wanted (Soundtrack to Mike Reilly’s “Tumbleweed”)" was thus conceived.

From the Jeff Wyatt album: Wanted (Soundtrack to Mike Reilly's "Tumbleweed") (writer: Percy Montrose - public domain) Historically, this song is more properly titled “Oh My Darling, Clementine”. Hey, this was cartoon character Huckleberry Hound’s theme song back in the 1960’s. According to Wikipedia the song is attributed to writer Percy Montrose in 1884, although it is sometimes credited to Barker Bradford around that same time. Jeff’s approach to this song is somewhat unique; he doesn’t treat it as the typical American folk song that it is, but as a mournful, solo classical piano instrumental. In Jeff’s words, “I tried to imagine how someone like 19th century pianist/composer Felix Mendelssohn would treat this old melody, although he died decades before this song was even written. In my fantasy, however, I imagined his interpretation to be included in his popular series of short lyrical, solo piano pieces known as “Songs Without Words. With all due respect to Felix, I humbly tried to play and interpret it in his spirit of arrangement.” Canadian west coast comedy scriptwriter MIKE REILLY of Canamera Entertainment (Radio Comedy Shows) has created another gem to add to his growing repertoire of radio ready audio drama productions.

MY CHRISTMAS GUITAR is a contemporary approach to some popular Christmas favorites, with an obvious emphasis on guitar as the featured instrument. Electric and acoustic, finger-style and slide; the guitar playing styles vary, but the BLUES influence is evident. The works are all adaptations and arrangements of Christmas carols and songs from the Public Domain. The album begins with an electric blues slide guitar instrumental version of John Wesley Work Jr’s GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN, along with upright bass and drums accompaniment. And once again the album concludes with a vocal arrangement of this same song. While WHAT CHILD IS THIS and AULD LANG SYNE are given a more traditional acoustic finger-style approach, and CHRISTMAS GUITAR MEDLEY maintains a ragtime blues acoustic finger style (somewhat similar to Big Bill Broozy), we hear more electric slide blues guitar (and even some vocal) in SILENT NIGHT. OH CHRISTMAS TREE is what might happen when you combine open tuned electric blues guitar with classical piano. It might be the captured result of Ry Cooder and Wolfgang Mozart casually drinking a few friendly beers and jamming in the studio, while unknown to them the engineer had pressed “record”. OH HOLY NIGHT (previously released by Jeff as a single for Christmas 2013) and THE FIRST NOEL have a different, but still bluesy electric feel due to Jeff’s use of a Fender Stratocaster, bringing to mind some of the ballad laden riffs of Jimi Hendrix and Mark Knopfler. Orchestral accompaniment adds a colorful backdrop to both of these tracks while the Stratocaster overlays it’s prominent brush strokes.
