Excellent production Tom, love this kind of sound! I'm partial to steel anyway, but I love where and how you put yours in here - and glad you stuck with it through the break. As always you come up with great signature guitar lyrics. I love that line, "I ain't in too bad a shape, for the shape I'm in." This one really shines!
Brad Hey Brad. Thanks for the real nice comments Tom, this kicks some serious rear end! Love the song and your super vocals. The guitars are next level stuff, and just pull the listener in. Great arrangement and mix, too. Seriously pro level stuff. Love it! Thanks for the fine review. I appreciate it.

Tom,
Your talent is on display again and man is it awesome! You are a true high quality Country artist! Some outlaw style artist should snatch this one up....that is unless some executive in the industry hears you and gives you a turn in the spotlight! Very high level work here all around!
Take care, TB

Great song Tom, up and running from the start. Do you play live, I can imagine this going down well in clubs.
Well done.
Brian Brian, I appreciate you coming by and commenting. No I no longer play live. I did for a long long time, Tom

Hi Tommy,
Like the song before this one (and before that, and that...) this is a real catchy song!
I like to join everyone here calling it a killer song or that you can listen all day to it.
It's super!
Your vocal are really made for this type of songs.
Looking forward to the next one!
Hans

Tommy, outstanding country rock song.
Loved that steel!
Great vocal with an outstanding groove.
Super mix.
Definitely a Hank jr vibe to this one.
Loved it. Mario, thanks for all that and for mentioning the steel, Tom Tom,
Superb sound!
It's country rock at its best.
The various guitar works are really great.
It complements your vocals well.
Your pedal steel play is amazing.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi Shigeki, thank you for your kind review, Tom Excellent array of guitar tracks masterfully played and mixed. A goood good write. Driving beat and I love the lyrics. Well constructed arrangement. Love it all, Tom. "ain't too bad a shape for the shape I'm in." Thanks Marty. My Dad used to say that among many other memorable quotes, Tom

There are so many lines in this that could be the start of another song. Like this for example:
“I ain’t in too bad a shape for the shape I’m in”
This is clever, fun and an absolute pleasure to hear.
That guitar opening is stuck in our heads. 😊
Your vocals, steel and guitars sound great.
The whole Tom talent package there!
The RTs, loops and the RD all sound great.
As always the mix is high, high bar.
We’re ready to hear the full set!

Now that's country. I love everything about it. My dad played steel guitar in my younger days, and I learned a little bit, but I always say, if it doesn't have a steel or a fiddle, it ain't country!!

Another great rockin' song, Tommy.
You really are a master of this genre.
Yeah I suppose I could hear Hank Jr doing this song but now that I have Warren Zevon in my mind associated with your voice I can't get it out.
Did you ever listen to Lawyers, Guns and Money??
🙂
Keep on cooking with these man cuz you're doing a great job!! Thanks David. I haven’t listened much to Zevon. I will have to revisit him. Tommy...first off if I haven't said this before or enough you are a killer musician, writer and producer...this is crazy good in everyway...I love the swampy, Jerry Reid, chicken pickin', kickin' style...the guitar lick is insane and the entire production is pro-level...this is my favorite of yours (until I hear the next one that is)...!! Thanks Dan for all the kind comments. I appreciate it,
