Floyd,
Wow, now that`s a lead vocal to part the waters!
Love the humour in the lyrics.
Super backtrack and harmonies and David`s guitar intro and solo
reminded me of Steven Stills at his best.
Marvellous collaboration.
Robert Thanks, Robert. We appreciate that... David is full of humor...

This is such an amazing collaboration! You guys really hit the nail on the head on this one. I couldn't imagine a more perfect pairing. I can hear the grit in the vocals which I think are totally befitting of the song.
Fantastic job you guys!
Cheers,
Ember

Hello, floyd
What a strong sound!
You always make such a wonderful work very easily.
I entirely agree with Mario.
Grit is a hit!
Everything is spot on. The mix, backing tracks, guitar lead, vocals and harmonies.
Floyd, Janice and that Snyder guy has a hit on their hands.
Two thumbs up.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Very cool tune. Super vocal and lyric Floyd. Janice's harmonies were excellent. David did an awesome guitar solo. Loved this tune.. Very cool mix. Thanks, Scott. For the record... most of the lyric is David.

Not usually my style of music to listen to, but really enjoyed this one. Thnaks for sharing Thanks for the listen, Graham... Wow - you guys nailed this! It's perfectly catchy, and sounds professionally mixed. I wouldn't bat an eyelash hearing this on the radio beside other southern classics. Not to mention David killed it on the guitar! Thanks so much for sharing Deryk - we certainly appreciate that nice review!...

Two thumbs up. floyd, David, Janice
Heck of a vocal! and tight spot on harmonies. Immediately engaging and full of (well) Grit....
Top notch songwriting team - and a nice guitar solo from David.
Wonderful work all round. (Hope you guys have broken the back of the Hurricane clean up).

What a great collab! Love the "gritty" vocals. Definitely channeling some Jerry Reed here, and I love that! I could definitely hear this one on the radio.
Great job, guys!

Hi there Floyd, David and Janice.
Yeah, great - I mean, what's not to like?
A fabulous groove going on, spot-on vocals, a HOT mix and fun story line.
I need to play that one loud in the car.

It occurs to me "that David Snyder guy" and that Floyd Jane guy write some great songs!! So, when they team up, you know it will be great, and sure enough, IT IS! A really cool write with just enough levity for the serious subject, and just enough....well...Grit! Cool music, cool lyrics, and some appropriate edginess in the feel of the arrangement. A lot of great lines, but I particularly like:
i won't cry i'm made strong
just like a little light with my dawn
Really well done in every way guys-a forum A-team effort!!
Take care. Greg

cool tune. good job to you both. Thanks for stopping by, Herb... Cool song, guys! That Snyder guy knows his way around a G-string!
A little different vocal style for you, Floyd! But it sounded terrific. Good collab on the lyric and whichever of you wrote the music/melody did a great job, too.
Avant-garde Country Rock? Could be!!! I do a little Avant-garde Jazz and this has some of the same elements from a Country genesis.
That was a super listen!
And yeah, David ... "BIAB U"!
Bets to both of you. Okay, gonna go get another one ready for posting.
Alan Appreciate all that, Alan. The lyric is mostly that Snyder guy...

Ok, this is the kind of song that reminds me how I wish I was American, because only an American could write (and sing, and play) a song like this.
Just great. Simple, direct, straight to the point, superb execution. Great vocals, great guitar. And BIAB is just perfect for these kinds of tracks. Keep'em coming guys!
