All music posted here is the original work of Richard Lowdermilk unless noted by asterisk (*), and is copyrighted and owned by Mr. and Mrs. J.W. Lowdermilk.

Just a few of the bands that "inspired" Richard through the years: Beatles, Led Zep, Steely Dan, Who, Peter Gabriel, Genesis, ELP, Bowie, Pink Floyd, Rem, U2, Clapton, Joni Mitchell, Depeche Mode, and many more!

Richard wrote and recorded tons of tunes and it would be hard to post all that he had created, so I will try to upload all the best of his work. Enjoy the mp3 and wma files. I hope my "notes" are accurate!
Lifedrops of Love - Acoustic with Andy Raper. Beautiful, dreamy with an element of sadness and surrender to love.
Can't Let It Go - Recorded with Andy, Mike and Dave in Wink's basement.
