Electric Coffee and Tom Petty Messin.


Out of the blue, I started messin with Tom Petty's song, "Workin on Something Big."  I got further that I expected, so I sent it to AC Myles to do his thing with it.  This is a little sample. More to come.

Have a great day Humanoids.

New Release and Updates.





Fadin to Gray is now in all music distribution sites, so just pick your favorite and go for it. Below is the link to interview Loyd did with Dick Lee, who hosts 60's Garage Bands in California.  Loyd Played in 3 during his high school years.

The Anonymous Five       1967
Trans Love Airway           1968
Black Earth                       1969


The Music scene in the Central Valley of California was dominated by what was known as Melco Dances because the promoter was Mel Simas.  They took place in Hanford, Tulare and Lemoore, California for the most part.  Loyd's bands were from Corcoran, CA.  He was still in High School when he played in all of these.  After this, he rarely played again for over 35 years, until he started The Human Project.

Top Downloads for 2018

Top Human Project music downloads for the year 2018


3,355 Downloads!

The Human, residing on the outskirts of Fresno, CA in the town of Clovis had a very very good year for downloads of his music.  The last few months of 2018 closed with a great deal of momentum building for his music, and some other artists have paid for the rights to record some of his songs as well.  He has no management. No Label. Markets it all himself. Fronts the money to record and produces or co-produces all of his songs.  But none of this would have come anywhere near this type of success without the fans who find him and download the songs.  So this is a collaborative effort.  

Download statistics are provided by CD Baby, who distributes his music. He also has publishing agreements through them as well.

Top Downloads for 2018

High Anxiety                                             Human Project II, Humanized. 2008
Fast Train                                                   Humanized 2017
Highway 58                                               Humanized 2017
Keep it to Yourself                                    Single release, 018
Requiem For Washington                          Last Train Out 2011
Norwegian Wood                                      Human's Last Stand 2014
Backroads                                                  Humanized 2017
Got Myself in Trouble                               Humanized 2017
Bar Room Meltdown                                 Humanized 2017
Stormy Night in Texas                               The Real Stuff, 2006

Humanized, recorded in Fresno, CA at Pyramid Studio in 2017 has been a big hit. Here is the link to this particular release.


The Human has a new, download only release dropping January 18th, 2019. 10 songs. 6 Original Human Project Tracks. Stay tuned for more information related to this release.

Smoke From the San Joaquin

On my podcast today, I feature AC Myles and myself. We are both from the Central Valley of California, also known as the San Joaquin Valley. Thus the title, "Smoke From the San Joaquin."
AC is one of the premier guitar players around and I am one of the more prolific songwriters in the area. That being the case, I pull some of our music together to make this podcast.  On my new release, "Fadin to Gray," AC does quite of bit of work for me.  He has been sittin in more and more over the past few years. He can adapt to my style better than most I have met.

I also did a Vlog about the show and the San Joaquin in general. Here is the link:

Updates

I hope the New year is off to a great start. Unfortunately, that means back to work for many of us. Once we get started into the New Year, we all know how fast things move. It will be spring before we know it.

The new release is "on track," for January 18th, 2019. I did have some publishing issues that I cleared up. CD Baby is easy to work with and gets all this legal stuff done if you provide them with the correct information.  Its all rollin downhill now.

I created a "secondary" You Tube channel. This will be more "off the grid," from my main channel and I will use it to provide little acoustic diddy's for friends and fans as well as provide more intimate updates as to what is going on. Also, I might post little videos of travels.  I recently took a trip down to Southern California, so I put the first little video up related to this.  The link is here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvilIA1DJM8

This was more of an experimental video, they will get better with time.

Wishing all of you good health, peace and love.  Let's keep truckin.

December 2018 Downloads

Happy New Year officially now. :)  After a little drop-off in the number of individual tracks downloaded for November, things roared back in December with over 450 downloads of 49 different Human Project songs, 47 were written by me...The Human of The Human Project. (Loyd Vandergriff)  That gets me stoked, especially with a new release on the horizon (January 18th, 2019) that will have 10 new Human Project Tracks.  Thanks to all the fans world-wide that somehow manage to find my music.  I never cease to be amazed and grateful.

Here are the top downloads for December:

Highway 58..........................................Humanized 2017
High Anxiety........................................Human Project II, Humanized. 2008
Fast Train.............................................Humanized 2017
Bar Room Meltdown...........................Humanized 2017
Ridin This Train..................................The Real Stuff 2006
Juke Joint Showdown Remastered..... Human's Last Stand 2014
Stormy Night In Texas........................The Real Stuff 2006
Bad Momma........................................Human Project II, Humanized

Several songs bumped right up against these, but I cut it off at Bad Momma.

"Fadin To Gray," is submitted to CD Baby for distribution to all major download platforms and again the release date is projected to be January 18, 2019. 

What is on the horizon for The Human Project after "Fadin To Gray?"  If anything a single release here and there and you can expect in a couple of years a 2 disc Essential Human Project Release. I am getting to the age where that will happen. 

Peace to all of you, and love.  And thanks for everything.  Many cogs in the Human Project Wheel and if you are a part of that, thanks.
