I like it.

Nice sounding steel.


Nice job on the writing of the lyrics. Joe Walsh don't wear a cowboy hat... made me smile.

Nice job on the editing, even if you did use Logic.... (smirkey smile)

Ain't that the truth?...(listening to the lyrics and commenting) .

Nice chorus.

Having to listen again... yeah I like it that much.


This is my kind of song.... I would have loved collaborating on this..... but alas.... you did a fine job on it.

Another good "country music just ain't country music anymore" song.

Country music isn't my genre of choice... I LIKE the fact that Joe Walsh doesn't wear a cowboy hat... but I understand all the points you have made so well in this song.

You really have a wide base of talent to draw from... especially your ability to turn a phrase! All of your songs have been peppered with interesting catch-phrases. And your musicianship is highly respectable too. Good job on everything you've posted to the forum, especially this one since it's the current topic.

I agree, it's a shame they don't play the old stuff anymore. YouTube has tons of old performances. I no longer listen to radio. Good job, keep writing!

Good performance, arrangement and some lines in there made me chuckle.

But I have to admit I like lots of the "new" country too. <grin>

Tom,

A good write. Good vocal, good mix. Hopefully, real country isn't dead - just taking a breather - an will cycle back around one of these days...

Yeah... I knew that....

I really loved the Eagles early stuff, their later stuff isn't bad either.

Yep, Keith Whitley, Ricky Skaggs, George Strait, Alan Jackson and Randy Travis bailed out country from the schlock in the early 80's but, man, has it gone down the tubes since. Here's hoping. For all the reasons already stated I really like this tune! Best one of this theme since "Murder on Music Row." Thanks for the chance to listen!!
