Back To Carolina

Going back to Carolina to a little place that I know
If you're running from the Devil that's the place you oughta go
Nobody's looking for you when you're living at the end of the road

Got to get out of Chicago big city’s mean and cold
You'll get a pocketful of dollars if you're willin to sell your soul
Nobody's looking for you when you're living at the end of the road

Hell hounds howlin and the night is black as coal
Tired of all this running its feeling like a heavy load
Nobody's looking for you when you're living at the end of the road

Tom,

This is great! Off the charts in ever way - love the guitar. I can hear Levon Helm singing this one.

Excellent!

Tom,

Love your guitar and the kick-[*****] feel of this... and the lyrics are pretty cool too:

If you're running from the Devil that's the place you oughta go
Nobody's looking for you when you're living at the end of the road

Nice way to end the year!

Tom,

This is a very solid rocker.
The intro is one of the best I've heard on this forum so far.

This is cool... it reminds me of Savoy Brown Louisiana Blues but more modern.


Enjoyed it.

Tom,

A cool intro, indeed. It's the added touches that set songs apart...

A good blues-rock write. And a great set of RTs to pull it off. (those drums are perfect).

Your guitar work is excellent - again, adding the extra icing...

A classic sound. terrific vocal. excellent mix - crisp!

Super cool. Looking forward to what you do in '17!

Yeah, Smoking track! Great hearing you cut loose on the guitar.

Reminds me of that Freddy King tune "Going Down", similar riff.

Loved everything about this, enjoyed the listen!

Sometimes you just gotta crank it!

Wish I could! But, listening to it at a "desk volume" still sounds amazing (...and doesn't distract the PG Team workin' hard at their desks!)
