Hi, Gary. If you put the song title on top, in bold, and linked to the SoundCloud, it'll be easier for lazy people like me to find. Just sayin'.  Catchy, and harmony (with effects) on the chorus is especially cool. The fade at the end was a bit abrupt. Nicely done!

Garry,
Very picturesque tune. A fun video would compliment this wonderful song. Well constructed and played! Vocals- super. Slowdown ending is a candy. Mixed very well. Nothing I would change. Good one! Thank you for sharing.
Misha.

The guitar solo could come up a dB...the power chords seem louder than it.
I REALLY like the organ flourishes.
It's a rocking tune for certain and your additions help make it all the better.
The DY of lady on the outro gets swallowed abit...is it possible to lift that a little as I heard the outro as "You're a layyyyyyyyyeeeee".
Well done, a cracker.
Cheers

Gary, a real toe tapper. Super vocal and lyrics with a great message. The backing band was excellent.
Great rock n roll!

Great rocker, good intro riffing, classic stuff with Deep Purple vibe (organ fits well).
Nice funny and positive message.
Enjoyed your vocals.
Very good instrument selection, guitars are in fire. Strong drumming, sounds like there's two drummers.
This should be a hit!

Rock on man. Excellent. Great performances by you and the BiaB folks. Getting a little David Crosby vibe here. And all is wrapped in a mix that sounds excellent on the KRKs. Well done! J&B PS Kinda easy to fall into the theme as we recorded a PD song called Wild Women
Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more. If interested search on Janice Merritt. Thanks! Our Videos

Hi Gary,
A very rocky song. I like it very much.
I agree with Ray the leadguitar is too shy. Give him some more power!
The vocals are very cool.
Well done!
