For week 49, here is a mellow folky style tune, West of Everything: https://52tracksblog.com/2016/12/08/track-49-west-of-everything/I used the Hopeful Xtra Style, which uses a held acoustic bass, fingerpicked and strummed acoustic guitars, a very cool electric guitar, and a brushed snare drum. I kept it simple--no solo. Thanks for listening. Only three songs left to record and release!! Fred

"The simple joys in life are there to reclaim"
There's a lot packed in that line.
And there's a fine production to go along with it.
Excellent!

Nice, Fred. Everything about this is "easy and pleasant". A nice (pleasant) production. An easy, relaxed vocal. It sits on the ear, nicely...
You have a knack for grabbing good titles and taking them to good places...

Fred,
The easy swing style here fits well to my ears... lifts the feel of the song into almost upbeat territory.
Great lyrics
" far from these broken schemes
west of our foolish dreams"
I`ve enjoyed playing catching with your songs this year.
Robert
