I’m playing around with sound and genre. Robert Dean has done something similar and I enjoyed it.

All comments are welcome

Lawrence,

Yikes! Holy Cow! This is a tremendous piece of work!!! I love everything you do, but this is my absolute favorite. The groove, lyric, vocal and mix are just perfect.

Completely outstanding...

Bob

Thank you very much Bob. I took an idea that you have used with hip hop beats. I thought that was very creative of you.

I'm so glad you liked it!

Lawrence

That's a lot of real tracks!

Great vocals and an interesting layered backing.

Great pro sound and really clever.

Peter

Lawrence, Always a pleasure listening to you. I love the lyrics and of course the vocals. This is a strong write with a lot of imagery. An impressive remake. Nicely done. Tom

Very cool intro. Excellent vocal and driving back track. Loved this tune

Cool song, sounds like it would've fit perfectly into the hbo series Treme.

Nice story lines, love the overall sound

Kenny

I love the menacing mood of this Lawrence. I always think tremolo guitar can make a track sound really cool; puts me in mind of that Robert Plant + Alkison Krauss album 'Raising Sand'. Nicely sung too.

John

Exactly what I had in mind! This is a great tune, Lawrence. Really compelling write, and the chorus helps keep the song from being too forebodindg. Awesome job, and very well sung!

Tom often says what I'm thinking.... +1

Yes, thankfully because they appear in different sections I didn't have to mix them all together. Glad you enjoyed it.

Tom, thank you, good to hear you liked it.

Hi Lawrence.

Hey, that song really moves along - I'm surprised you didn't call it "Walking Through A Gruve-yard".

Kind of spooky, but at the same time infectious - once it gets under your skin you have to play it again and again...

Loved the vocal.

Excellent.

ROG.

Hi Lawrence.
Like the controlled chaos that builds with the song,
the guitars, and particularly the organ.
And of course I love graveyard songs. Mean stuff. Cheers.

Yes! we were trying to remember what reminded us of that groove...Raising Sand, indeed.

This is a great cut from a great album that is a wonderful compilation of your work!

J&B

Thank you again Scott.

Treme was a great show. I'm glad you enjoyed the song.

Good to hear from you John. I'm glad you enjoyed the song. "Raising Sand" was some good stuff.

Thank you very much Will.

Thank you Floyd.

Great stuff Lawrence!! Can't wait to hear the CD. Really cool lyrics, great vocal, and a wonderful track and mix! Take care. Greg

Very good work Lawrence!
This is slightly different from your other songs but it sure has a punch to it.
Very good mixing quality also!

Rob

Thank you for the positive comments. You made me chuckle over "Gruve-yard" lol

lol, yes but it's a happy graveyard.

Thank you J and B

Thank you Greg. I'm looking forward to your CD as well.

Thank you. I would like to stretch out and see if I can change my style up. We'll see what happens.

Super song. Your best song for me.
Great sound.

Sergio

Hi, Lawrence !


What a tune, absolutely superb !
Loved everything about it, melody,
singing, mixing, the arrangement
and naturally the playing !


Cheers
Dani

Lawrence, excellent in every way. Great song, great performance, great production!! Vocals really work! I thought the key change really set off the song. Thanks, Torrey.

Thank you Sergio. I'm glad you liked it.

Thank you Dani!

Thank you Torrey. I'm a sucker for key changes, lol.
