Archive of Van Wampler’s Songs

This is a comprehensive archive of all of Van’s songs written and recorded before he formed ivory Drive.

The songs are listed in reverse chronological order, and represent all his songs. The quality of the recordings varies somewhat, and not all of the songs are equally good. But the goal is to have a complete online archive of Van’s work as a solo singer/songwriter.

You can stream each song by clicking on the song title, and right click to download. The songs are all mp3 at 128MB. Each song has ID3 information, including the month and year the song was written. While the songs are presented in the order they were written, the recordings are often later performances. Many of the songs include the lyrics embedded in the ID3 – iTunes will display the lyrics if you right-click and display song info.

Van formed Ivory Drive in late 2007, and is devoting his energies to the band. This site may continue to include “rough draft” versions of songs that Ivory Drive is working on, and which will likely be released later on Ivory Drive albums.
