Rock Steady
© 2017 Kenny Leverett

Smooth as silk
I’m about to lose my grip
Turns me on
Till I just wanna hold you baby
All night long

Things you’ve said
It all goes right to my head
When you make that sound
Well I’m about to come unwound

Right now, I’m ready
I’ve been ready since the day I was born
Bring it on and rock steady
Rock me steady baby
All night long
Rock steady

I just love to hear you talk
With the mids wide open
You can walk that walk
I just love to hear you sing
With the humbucker working’
Gonna make it scream

Right now, I’m ready
I’ve been ready since the day I was born
Bring it on and rock steady
Rock me steady baby
All night long
Rock steady

Good driving rock beat throughout. A rock steady feel, for sure.

Strong rock sound - with a nice driving beat. Especially like the chorus.

Kenny,

This is very cool - love the late 60s / early 70s feel. Great vocal and mix - love the guitar solo.

Excellent!

Nice Rocker. Really good mix on this one. I couldn't talk for a week if I tried to do vocals like you do. It would be cool and almost a supernatural experience to hear such a hard voice over a stadium PA.

Enjoyed my listen.

Rock Steady indeed! Very cool vocal as usual. Nice, tasteful guitar solo, was you using the strat with the humbuckers?

Hello, Kenny

A nice late 60's Rock.
Rock Steady indeed!
Your guitar solo is very tasteful.
And your shout reminds me of John Lennon a little bit.
Love the Piano 2157 Vintage.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Shigeki Adachi

"I just love to hear you talk

That's just too cool!

As floyd said "Grit to the max!"

We couldn't imagine a better vocal track for this...perfect for the vibe!

Reminds me of reading where Johnny Winter said when he was young he practiced singing into the pillow at night...I suppose to appease his mother smile

As always all is top notch with the production including the pickin' but the vocal...yeah man, the vocal!

Good job Kenny! I tend to agree with Shigeki about Lennon on this one. It kind of has a Lennon type feel to the vocal phrasing. Thanks, Torrey.

Thank you Charlie
appreciate your kind words, I can't seem to sing any different from this these days
unless i really sing softly, and that's only for ballads
I just try to belt it out from the heart, keep between the ditches
and hopefully stay on pitch enough.

Dave, thanks

I kinda wish I had that guitar, just found the pic that showed a humbucker
or what appears to be. I used to play on one that had a bucker in the back
and regular strat pickups in front of it. I recorded with a strat copy
something Eddie V had a hand in designing, very nice neck on it.
Appreciate your kind words

Hey, Rock on Kenny!

Started listening on the 'phones, but just had to play that loud on the the big monitors.

A classic piece of rock with a solo that could make your ears bleed.

How DO you get that vocal sound? Awesome!

Loved the whole thing.

ROG.
