'Dewey_MI'...

Well, your song sure did jack me up! The bluegrass style rolls right along under your upbeat lyrics, and your bright, clear singing voice adds it own high energy to the mix. Congratulations on winning the 'One to Watch' honor! Also, I like the fact that you included in the names of the Real Track musicians as they are the bands us songwriters never imagined we'd have access to.

Dewey_MI, nice use of a wide variety of realtracks that cross over genre's without clashing! Great vocal too. Catchy memorable chorus/melody! The bridge section also caught my attention with a different chord pattern. Thanks, Torrey

Hi Dewey,

This is a pleasant song, sung by someone (you) with a very pleasant voice!
But all the time in my head I heard a background vocal singing along with that 'Jack me up'part.
And some heavier beat as well. But this is all only a matter of taste.
What stays is your pleasant vocals and tune.
Good job!

Hans
