Howdy everyone.... Well....I finally came up with a new phrase to flesh out into a coherent song. The moral of the song as I quote myself: "If you can't take an honest answer....don't ask for anyone's opinion." This was an easy write comparatively because I have a strong opinion about it.....obviously, by now. I enjoyed working with Ken again and I thank him sincerely for his time and stellar musicianship. So....on that note....thanks to anyone to gives it a spin and hope you found it worthy of your time....if not, I owe you 3:28. Have a great day! https://www.soundclick.com/artist/default.cfm?bandID=897733https://soundcloud.com/chulaivet1966/straight-shooter_ken-lasaine-of-guitarsEDIT: _BOOGIE1.STY.

Wayne, Fun rocker. Seems you can't go wrong with Ken. Arrangement, instrumentals, vocals all good. But I think vocals can come up a bit. It would be cool if you had female BGVs on it. Thank you for sharing. Misha. P.S. https://www.soundclick.com/artist/de...?bandID=897733 seems to be broken.

Sounds like a live track that you recorded at a bar gig. That's nice I like that live sound. Good solid rock and roll blues song By the way you're links or not direct to the song It goes to your general page.

Howdy Rob....Marty....Misha and Elliott. Misha.... Ha....I read your mind and was awaiting that suggestion. Sometimes, I just don't care for that 'pop' mix vox being so up front. Thanks for giving a spin and thoughtful suggestion. It's always appreciated. Marty.... We're pleased you dig it. TBH....I didn't know if the subject matter/lyrics would stick against the forum wall. I had apprehensions but worked up my courage, finally. Rob.... Glad you found it worthy of your time....thank you. Your latest one is a very good write with great imagery. Elliott.... EDIT: "Sounds like a live track that you recorded at a bar gig." Good catch Elliot....to create that perception was quite intentional. I deferred the FINAL MIX decision to Ken at his studio. He sent me the first mix and I suggested putting a "a slight Room 2 reverb on the stereo mix" because I prefer to hear music rendered as if it was in a "live club" venue. Guess I'm stuck in my live band days era. Oh jeez....I'm an idiot. I fixed the Soundcloud link but, for the life of me, since Soundclick's new format I can't figure out how to just show the song page itself.....I've tried everything I can think of. Guess I'm not the brightest bulb. Many thanks for taking the time to listen and kind comments. Thanks again to all of you for listening/commenting. Have a great weekend everyone.

Hi Wayne ...
Yeah, sounds like a live gig that was well-recorded. Great lyric, vocal, and band. I enjoyed the heck out of it! That was a real cool listen. Great work!

Mornin' Alan....
I thank you sir for giving it a listen and the very kind words. I do like the 'live gig' treatment too. It just sounds more...oh....'live' vs. a studio cut.
Hope all is well and have a great day!

“I'm a straight shooter….and fire from the hip. I’m fully loaded with my honesty clip.” We love that! You and Ken are such a good team and his guitar playing on this really matches the playful mood of your vocal. Great mix too! Enjoyed it! J&B

Well howdy J&B & B.D. Sorry I didn't respond sooner but I didn't expect further comments after getting to page 2. J&B.... Thanks very much for stopping by, giving a listen and the kind comments. Ha....I really didn't know if that line would be acceptable or PC but that's never stopped me before. I did try to keep it "playful" and not too smug or scathing. I'm fortunate Ken approves enough of my efforts to keep contributing. B.D.Thomas.... Ha...."boogie"....I like that vibe too and glad you foot started tapping. I prefer the "live" sound also. Thank you for giving it a spin and kind words. Have a great day everyone....
