Great song that brings back great memories.
My grandparents used to always drink chicory
coffee (back in the 50's) and I never quite got
it as a kid. My parents didn't drink it so I
was a confused a boy :-)
There's a ton to like about this, e.g., the lyric,
the melody, the vocal, the RT choice, the pickin'
and the mix. Guess that about covers the song.
It ALL works well!
One for the SC playlist indeed.

In order of appeal:
Original subject matter.
Well written lyrics.
Vocals up front and performed well.
Clean mix and well chosen, uncluttered instrumentation.
All works for me....well done.
Carry on....

I've said it before, Scotty - your vocals are spot on and you are a model of how singing should be approached and rendered. You have excellent voice control and dynamic range.
Thanks for sharing, amigo.

Cool tune with a fun groove.
Don't know that I've ever knowingly drank the stuff.

Great song and production. Like others, you really do vocals right... Nice song all around.
You've covered coffee, so is tea next? What rhymes with sassafras?
enjoyed my listen.

A very good write, Scott. Solid start to finish. Good humor without ever getting "silly". Nice.
Excellent vocal - very well recorded and sitting in the mix perfectly. Good harmonies, too... Good arrangement.
And some nice pickin'....
Very enjoyable listen.

Hi Olemon! Song was real nice and well done. My Grandparents used to drink coffee and chicory. That was the only kind of coffee they drank. I was just a kid and I would get to try some occasionally but did not like it. I always thought that chicory was used to stretch the coffee. Really enjoyed the song. occ

Scott, This is a great listen. Everything fits together seamlessly and the whole presentation sounds as professional as anything. I'm a fan of coffee and chicory. I used to always keep a bottle of the below stuff in my cupboard.  For some reason or other, when I last ran out, I never replaced it. I'm off to the supermarket to grab some now that you've reminded me. (According to the internet, it's still sold here!) All the best, Noel

Hi Scott. Really enjoyed this one. Congrats on the guitar playing. It really adds something. We have coffee called Ricoffee. 100% pure chicory I think!
