Steve, thanks for commenting. You have been greatly missed. Hope you're doing better. Tom

Greg, thanks I'll have to check that out. Tom



[quote=w]Good country rock!

Requires some sound balancing to remove some of the distortion or maybe that was intentional.


W, thanks for coming around and weighing in. Contrary to popular belief, distortion is not the enemy. Tom

Tommy,

I agree with Floyd. This is so very good! Outstanding guitar, vocals, mix, etc, and those drums sound FANTASTIC!

Excellent job!

Greg

- you are the Izotope poster boy

The song is full of "great grit" from the vocals to the guitars. Just enough to put that edge on it yet still allow everything in the mix to still shine. Hard to do -- I know cause, lordy know, I try to understand the techniques behind it. Easy to take for granted and listen to. Putting it all together is another thing.

Masterful!



Janice and Bud, Y'all are always so very kind to me. Thanks. Tom

Josie, Nailed? Wicked? I can't ask for more that that. Thanks. I always look forward to your comments. Tom

really love the guitar riff you open with and repeat. something that my songs have been missing. it really grounds the song and gives it identity.

and solid lyrics, very cohesive story and an interesting subject

and the opening diminished notes in the solo are inspired!

well done!
