Really good production and a unique storyline. Good stuff.
This would be a good pitch to Allstate Insurance to go with their "Mr. Mayhem" character commercials.

I gave her a listen. I think this a pretty good write. Your vocal has good quality, very well delivered with good imagery. IE: " Where that fridgidaire, a side by side Stood with all the tall-boys chilllin' inside".  I want to say the honky tonk piano could come up a db but I'm listening on my laptop so that may be too presumptuous of me. Well done...do carry on. Thanks. I automated the piano volume throughout and tried to bring it up for those right-hand parts. Hi Scott,
Very cool song! Everything fits together and you did a great job with the stops (I really like that part). Very clean and professional sound and mix. Your vocal is outstanding and the lyrics tell an interesting story. I enjoyed listening.
Sonny Thanks, Sonny. I really didn't know where I was going with this one, but I guess BiaB did:) Hi Scott,
I like the story. Outstanding vocals.
An enjoyable listen throughout.
Guenter Thanks for giving it a listen, Guenter. An original idea for a song, good lyrics! A very pro production.
John Appreciate that, John. Very nice groove and a cool idea......
BUT.....
It's only halfway finished. I wasn't halfway through the first verse when this thought hit me.
You need a verse #2 that talks about the "storm" being a woman, most likely your woman, who is seeking some revenge on you for being out a bit too late and coming home a bit to inebriated.... put a bit of a twist on the metaphor about a storm. Yeah, Herb, I toyed with that theme too. There was going to be backyard pool party with me and all the neighbor ladies who were in the same predicament. Then I decided to just let the listener make up their own story:) Well the storm blew through this town around ten a.m.
Wreaked a little havoc, caused a little more mayhem
That is one of the most clever rhymes I've ever heard!! This is a really fun and clever song. Well done in every way. Vocal is great, mix is sweet and arrangement sounds very natural. Great job!! Take care. Greg Wow, Greg. Thank you. Hi, Scott !:))
Absolutely super music !
Cheers
Dani
Thank you, Dani! Hello Scott,
well, we're definitely hearing a song structure ;-)
a good one too.
well done, good vocals too!
Rob & Anne-Marie I appreciate that, you two. Thanks for taking the time to listen and comment:)

Hey we just went through an ice storm so I can relate!!!
Great tune.
I distinctly hear a verse chorus structure, though not typical of today, still very much a verse chorus structure of classic country where the chorus does not have to be exactly the same words each time.
The lift and flow was excellent though, also the lyrics and production.

Scott
This is a first class delivery. Had my toe tapping right from the start. There's really nothing to not like about this little beauty. Your vocals are first class, and choice of RealTracks is the icing on the cake.
Tops
Thank you so much! Scott
Really easy listen - good tune very nice vocal and well put together. Liked the ending. I was experimenting with endings in BiaB and hadn't planned on that tag at all, but it seemed to belong. Glad you liked it.
Nice song; good country sound and very well sung.
Sergio
Thanks for the listen, Sergio. hi scott awesome work here very engageing love this thanks for sharing eric Thanks for listening and commenting, Eric! A good write, Scott.
Nice, crisp production. Good vocals and nice mix.
Well done.
fj I appreciate that, Floyd. I feel like my mixing has improved and my producer's ear has developed enough to get decent results fairly quickly now. Still working on it though. Thanks again for the feedback. I agree with all. This is a very cool tune and an awesome vocal delivery I suppose singing is what I enjoy the most, so it means a lot when someone tells me they enjoy it too. Thank you.

Scott I have listened to this a few times on Soundcloud and only now noticed I have not been here. I am also listening to it in the middle of a storm, 70+mph winds and torrential rain so this is a perfect backdrop  Excellent vocals and choice of Rts, I thought the harmonica was perfect with the short reprise at the end. All in all that was a good rockin' tune and it sounded good LOUD excellent I look forward to more Alyn

That was my first thought as well, cool song though by itself.
