Somewhere South Of Savannah


Isn’t it ironic saw it on the late night news

They said the world’s on fire

They’d put it out but there ain’t no use



Nights I don’t remember. Friends I won’t forget

all that seems so long ago

Now we’re the only one’s here that’s left


Somewhere south of Savannah I heard the same old song

she’s overlooked and misunderstood

I’m gonna miss her when she’s gone



Gotta make it north of Atlanta

Find a new place to start

Wipe off the dirt wipe off the hurt

From her handprint on my heart



If that’s the way she feels I don’t know if I can make it right

I’ve tried before I know what’s in store

and I don’t think it’s worth the fight


Isn’t it ironic saw it on the late night news

They said the world’s on fire

They’d put it out but there ain’t no use


Somewhere south of Savannah I heard the same old song

she’s overlooked and misunderstood

I’m gonna miss her when she’s gone



Gotta make it north of Atlanta

Find a new place to start

Wipe off the dirt wipe off the hurt

From her handprint on my heart

Big, in your face sound. Cool guitar licks. Catchy chorus. Great vocals.

The ending caught my by surprise!

I love everything about this.

Really excellent. The hook is so catchy, the lyrics are brilliant, the singing is top notch, with great harmonies. Should be on the radio. Well done.

Just perfect. Really enjoyed everything you've done here. Great song, killer vocals, tasteful production. Superb! Oh, and I met and married Mrs DC Ron "somewhere south of Savannah", so there's that. Ha!

Tom,

This is excellent - love the feel of this. I hear a hint of Levon Helm in your voice and performance. Very cool.

Loved it!

Bob

Tom,

WOW. Killer tracks and an AMAZING Mix.
Your mixes come through the speakers like NOBODY else (here). Truly a Pro sound.
I want to look over your shoulder and see how you manage that.
It is Something Special.

A very good write.
Nice vocals and harmonies.
Good musical lead.

"Somewhere south of Savannah I heard the same old song"
LOVE the hook/title AND the alliteration...

A great listen.

Thanks David, I always look forward to your comments, Tom

I love everything about this song, the guitar lick at the beginning captivates me and your vocals never let me go.
Pretty good mix, although I personally think the drums in the choruses are a bit too bright.
But overall the production is really good.
Well done!

Thank you for the terrific review. I am appreciative, Tom

Ron, thanks for the nice comments, Tom

COOK'N!
An amped up J.J.Cale or something like that.
LOUD but nothing's too loud or out of place.
From your list I assume you played bass on this as well.
Ace Bass...great tone for the song - stands up and holds its own.
Cool on all sorts of levels - the vocals - POIFEK t.

Such a good mix. Tom. Man, I love the melody and the harmony. This sweet song from south of Savanna sounds super sensation. Dang, what a good hook you got there, sir. Pro sound start to finish.

Tom, this is movin' and groovin', brother! Great production choice to match the topic and feel of the lyrics. Very enjoyable listen to be sure.

Dewey

Nice one Tommy!

A great piece of Southern Rock!!



Really enjoyed this!!

Hi Tommyad really excellent great hooks well mixed very pro sounding well done sir

Tommy...radio quality...super cool guitar riffs...you bounced the lyric in perfect sync with those cool riffs and great band...just a super production...southern country/rock at it's best!

Excellent mix, arrangement and write.
Top notch.

Vic

Tommy, love the dynamics on this one.
Great vocal and guitar licks.
Mixed like it is from a pro studio.
Outstanding groove with a surprise ending.

Love that lick that opens the song. Awesome sound. The song was enjoyable to just sit back and absorb the experience. Darn good.

Outstanding song, superb vocals, guitar licks and production. Thank you for sharing this gem

Bob, thanks for stopping by, Tom
Thanks for all that and for mentioning the solo. It took a lot of passes to nail that one, Tom

WWWOOOOOOOWWW!!! What a big and pro sound!!!! I have never heard better production on the forum! HoooooW did you get that big drum sound?? ALWAYS a treat to hear a Tommyad song!!! Take care. Greg

Thanks for the fine comments. I assume you may be talking about the cymbals in the choruses. I thought about taming them a bit then I decided it was passable as it was, Tom

Wow, wow, wow! Dream band and vocals. Excellent.
Cheers

Mike B.

Ray, glad you liked it. The bass is loops. Thanks for coming by, Tom

Eric, thanks for giving it a spin. TomDan, I appreciate your generous comments. Tom

Thanks Vic, Tom
Thanks Mario for a really nice review,Tom

That Mix! It both breathes well but also sounds BIG. Poppin' drums there.

Those Vocals! They are rich, resonant and full of soul. Yeah man.

Those Guitars! Always great to hear your fine chops and tone.

That Band! Excellent group of session guys you called in.

Those Lyrics! Amongst many great lines we loved:
“Wipe off the dirt wipe off the hurt
From her handprint on my heart”

Love the cover photo at SC too.

Enjoyed it hugely,

J&B

Tom,

You are one of the absolute best! Everything you post here is top shelf stuff and this is right there with it!
Catchy tune with stellar guitar stuff going on! Vocals are beautiful and the chorus is brilliant and certainly catchy with a wonderful hook!

Take care, TB

Tom,

Your are certainly on a roll . . . second song I’ve heard from you over the last few weeks that’s deserving of a very large audience. Nice guitar hook (and song hook) that just keeps this song resonating and power country chorus to go with. Pro mix. Oh boy, this one is really, really good. Excellent outing!

All my best,

Deej

Scott, thank you for the kind review,TomAlex, I’m happy you liked it, Tom

Greg, those are some very complimentary comments that may be hard to live up to. The secret drum sauce involves waves CPA drums plug-in among other tweaks. Thanks, TomThanks Mike. I appreciate it, Tom

Tom,
Ace playing, strong vocals, excellent overall drive. Clear mix & listens well.
Thank you for sharing.
Misha.

Tom,

Nice groovin'!
The drum sound is majestic and the guitar riff is really cool.
It's a true Tom Adams sound.
As always, the vocals and guitar solos are great.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Thanks Torrey for the very generous review,Tom
Deej, thanks for stopping by and sharing your very kind comments,Tom

Why isn't this a hit already?
Such a great song, featuring superb guitar work, vocals and professional production.
The lyrics deserve a mention as well.

She’s overlooked and misunderstood.
I’m gonna miss her when she’s gone."

Misha, thanks for stopping by and commenting, TomShigeki, good to hear from you. I appreciate your kind remarks, Tom
Mike, thank you for bringing attention to the lyrics, Tom

Cool tune Tom. Excellent groove. Loved the intro. Super vocal and lyric. Guitar was excellent as well.

Hi Tom,

This is magnificent!
I love the lines... "Wipe off the dirt wipe off the hurt, From her handprint on my heart"... That's top-shelf lyric writing in my book.
You make polished arrangements, super performances and first-class productions sound so easy to achieve.
Really enjoyed my listen.
