For week 49, here is a mellow folky style tune, West of Everything:

https://52tracksblog.com/2016/12/08/track-49-west-of-everything/

I used the Hopeful Xtra Style, which uses a held acoustic bass, fingerpicked and strummed acoustic guitars, a very cool electric guitar, and a brushed snare drum. I kept it simple--no solo.

Thanks for listening. Only three songs left to record and release!!

Excellent stripped down tune. Excellent vocal and lyric

Interesting song concept Fred! The song flows along very nicely. Wow, the year has gone fast. Enjoyed this! Take care. Greg

"The simple joys in life are there to reclaim"

There's a lot packed in that line.

And there's a fine production to go along with it.

Excellent!

Nice, Fred. Everything about this is "easy and pleasant". A nice (pleasant) production. An easy, relaxed vocal. It sits on the ear, nicely...

You have a knack for grabbing good titles and taking them to good places...

Fred,

The easy swing style here fits well to my ears... lifts the feel of the song into almost upbeat territory.
Great lyrics
" far from these broken schemes
west of our foolish dreams"
I`ve enjoyed playing catching with your songs this year.

Hi fgrittner, Glad to see you are still doing this challenge! Great vocals and stunning guitar progression. Only three more weeks to go! Keep it up!

Thanks, Joe! Couldn't have done this project without BIAB.
