Bob, I really like the way the repetitive lines draw you in and then the way the third line in every verse delivers the mail. Again, very poetic and the simple arrangement and melody are perfect for this. The accordion was a inspired choice. This may be one of my favorites from you. Excellent. Tom

LOVE THIS:

Chorus:
She's broken the rules and left her outpost
She follows me around from coast to coast
I can't see her face but I feel her approach
Like a radio ghost
Like a radio ghost

Yeah!!


Another Bob Dean Classic!! Loved the lyrics, vibe and vocal delivery as always.

You have a very unique sound as an artist and I always look forward to your songs.

Another great one.

Happy 2017!!

Yeah it's already been guoted but it's too good to not quote again. So there. smile

Wonderful write, vocal and production. You cross genres but carry your cool signature sound with you. Nice.

We much enjoyed this one!

Bob,

This is one of your best! The lyrics are mysterious and hooked me in right away; the production (especially the accordion in the background and phased? guitar at the end) just about perfect.
Great way to start the year!

Bob, I agree with Kenny. Exactly what I though - What a song! A terrific listen. I was reading along with the lyrics and kept having to look back to see what RT you were using. The mandolin was a great start. The solo electric worked really well. The accordion was a great add. The guitar ending was excellent (I think you added a delay to it?).

Excellent vocal.

Simply - enjoyable...

Robert,

Thanks so much - that's very kind of you. The guitar track at the end of the song was layered and out of sync with itself - then I added a delay effect - I wanted it to have a swirling / breathing feel.

Floyd,

Thanks very much. Yes, the guitar was layered with a phasing-like effect added.
