Is It Getting Any Clearer? A little blues rock number about being further on down the road (sounds like a good song title!) Leon Vocal & Lyrics I played rhythm & lead guitar & sang a little. The Band: RealTracks in style: 1717:Bass, Electric, TexasBluesRockStraight Ev 120 RealTracks in song: ~686:Organ, B3, Background Pop Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 1718:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm TexasBluesRockStraightBrent Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 1719:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm TexasBluesRockStraightSol Ev 120 RealTracks in song: ~586:Harmonica, Background Blues Roadhouse Ev 120 RealDrums in style: RockSyncKick^01-a:ClHtSn, b:OpHtSn Is it getting any clearer?Remember when we hit the road With a mattress and a flagon Early morning, windows down In my Daddy’s station wagon Future coming up behind In the rear view mirror Tell me brother what you see Is it getting any clearer? Is it getting any clearer? So much further down the road Are the answers any nearer? Now we’re further down the road Monday morning, call the boss Tell him I can’t make it All that wine I drank last night Didn’t have to fake it I could hardly raise myself To get a glass of water Some days weren’t no danger to Anybody’s daughter Is it getting any clearer? Now we’ve daughters of our own Are the answers any nearer? Now we’re further down the road Thought my dreams were up in smoke When she said goodbye love But happiness was up ahead When I gave you my love The future changes every time That we choose a turning I take the corners slow these days There’s some things that I’m learning Is it getting any clearer? So much further down the road Are the answers any nearer? Now we’re further down the road Crank the music, hit the road With a mattress and a flagon Toss the surfboards in the back Of that old station wagon Future coming up behind In the rear view mirror Tell me brother what you see Is it getting any clearer? Is it getting any clearer? So much further down the road Are the answers any nearer? Now we’re further down the road

Peter/Leon,
This is super!
An EXCELLENT write. Solid start to finish. Terrific lines all over the place.
"Monday morning, call the boss
Tell him I can’t make it
All that wine I drank last night
Didn’t have to fake it
I could hardly raise myself
To get a glass of water
Some days weren’t no danger to
Anybody’s daughter"
...for example.
Nice blues/rock production. The guitars are stellar. The lead at the end is exceptional - the "little bit of shred" is the best ever displayed here... (It needed to be louder, for sure!)
Super.

What a tune! I love the attitude this tune has, and the groove is infectious. The harmonica was implemented perfectly here as well. The bluesy approach to this was perfect. And to boot, really nice lyrics too. A very well rounded song - you should be proud of this one! Thanks for sharing
Cheers,
Deryk

I am really digging the harmonica and guitars used in this particular song! I think you utilized the RealTracks really well in this song! Awesome job.

That "little blues rock number" could have gone on...and on...could've heard that outro for several minutes Great playing and, man, what an all around cool song. Leon has carved out a niche as a most literate blues writer...and does it ever work. We like the Biab band, the write, the vocals, and that guitar! And you topped it off with a "everything's in the pocket" mix. Nice! J&B

Peter & Leon,
A road trip with humour and wisdom in the lyrics ( which Leon does so well) and a nice touch of raunch in the backing... yeah, that ending guitar could have gone on and on!
Very good.
Robert

Rock blues at its best. Great vocal and outstanding lead guitar. I am very impressed with this one.
I get most of my exercise these days from shaking my head in disbelief.

Great groove, very infectious! Leon always writes a good lyric and vocals sound good too.
Love the smoking guitar on the outro! My only complaint is it could have been longer.
Good one Peter and Leon!
