interesting song. I like it. Some unusual chord changes and a modulation right at the start. Modulations all over the place...
How exactly did you record the vocals?
The solo guitar was sweet.... love a tele with just a bit of grit.

Nice job on this, Earl. Welcome to the forum!
The tracks are nice...cool solos. The drums are a bit busy. For a song at this tempo, you might want to try removing a few of the part markers so you don't get quite so many drum rolls.
I like your vocal - very sincere. (It would be nice to see a lyric to follow along).
Enjoyed it. Looking forward to more..

floyd +1, I agree with the drums being too busy. It is an unusual progression, but it works. I also am looking forward to more. Tom

Welcome to the forums!
This was a great listen. Although the drums MAY be a little busy they did not distract me from a great listen. If you do calm down the drummer don't do it too much and make the song boring!
Just my thoughts.
My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Love the title! Some interesting images and an overall nice feel. Herb's right that the music modulates all over the place. I think the modulations mostly work but there may be too many. It is a little hard for the listener to find the ground. Some really good stuff here. Enjoyable track! Take care. Greg

Hi Earl,
A very nice first song.
We agree with both Floyd (about the drums) and Herb.

Hi Earl! Welcome to the forum!
Since you described this song as an Americana type offering, considering the general consensus about the busy drums, I'd kinda like to hear this reposted as an acoustic number. Maybe even one of the bluegrass styles... I think acoustic would fit well enough to take a chance with it... especially given the popularity of bluegrass these days.
Put my name on the list of people who would like to see the lyrics posted. I find that if my brain is free from the added workload of discerning your lyrics, I can listen more attentively to the music. But if the lyrics aren't available, then I have to divert attention away from the music in order to get the words.
But what I was able to make out, I liked!

Hi Earl,
Great song, vocals, lyrics and slightly "different from the norm" chord progression.
My favourite parts though are undoubtedly the twangy Telecaster parts. Gorgeous sound and playing.
Congrats!

Thank you all who posted. At least I know I have more than just my wife who likes my stuff. Sorry for not posting lyrics...they are there now if interested.
Yes...drums a little busy, amazing how you don't hear things that are right before your eyes(ears).

Great lyrics Earl. Steel Guitar works well. Drum fills work well, (there sure are lots of them), and the solo fits perfectly.
