There are no available recordings of several of the original songs in the Mad Fables catalog. This was usually because the missing songs were not suitable for the genre of the clubs and bars where the band played. Sometimes they were concert pieces (very long songs); sometimes they were 'slow' tunes (not danceable). Other songs were just not played very much. If you have a bootleg of any of these songs, please give us a holler, we'd love to make the song available for everyone. |

Often the listener comes to know the song under a different name then what the writer named it. Or the Mad men sometimes used nicknames for parts of longer pieces. Here's a few of the very common song aliases. |

There were well over three hundred songs that were played in public when one considers the one hundred original songs, the wedding standards under the Rex Doyle pseudonym, and the other covers which ranged from jazz (Serenade to a Cuckoo) to country (I Shall Be Released). It is easy to see why someone would think that one of these Fables'cover tunes could be an original, especially with the more obscure songs. But if they are not listed under covers, they probably are not a Mad Fables' original. The Vault release had two such covers, Moondance and Knock On Wood. These were written by Van Morrison and Eddie Floyd respectively. |
