This is a cowrite with my good friend John Delk, he has some great songs that he allowed Corey and I to record. THis is a different take than John had originally wrote, hope he likes it. It is different territory for us also. Started as a country song now i have a hard time figuring what it is. Enjoy Cliff BIAB was drums, bass,piano. It gave me the groove for sure.

Cliff

A nice jangly country rock tune with some tasteful playing. A good set of lyrics and nice vocals and harmonies.
Thoroughly enjoyable.

Peter

Very nice! Has some south-of-the-border. Tejana, maybe? Don't know the word, but that's the flavor I get. Lovely guitar licks and a sweet, dusty voice delivering a well-wrought lyric. Much enjoyed.

Really nice work on this smile It has a nice, smooth yet rough around the edges feel to it. Some really nice playing here, and I thought the vocals fit impeccably too, and the lyrics helped it along great as well.

Thanks for sharing!


Cheers,
Deryk

Nice!

We like the, as Peter said, jangly guitar -- gives it a slight Byrds hint.

Well done!

I really like that this song had a bit of roughness to it. It made the song feel incredibly genuine. Thanks for sharing!

Cliff (& friends),

A good listen. Loved the title!

As Bud noted it has a Byrds flavor - or even a bit of Mavericks...

Gets ya singing along by the end...

Another great tune from you Clifton! To me it's a mix of Dwight Yoakam-Jimmy Buffet-Dire Straits and it is highly enjoyable! Thanks, Torrey

Thank You Deryk, I always appreciate your feed back. THis started as a country song that my friend John Delk was writing, but, when i started playing the guitar thru my amp and had BIAB style going, it just went in its own direction, and I felt it strongly, epecially my my my HA, I think that may be the best part of the song, and the Knople guitar licks.

Very nice, well-written, especially the chorus is extremely catchy.

Clifford, I love your voice and your cool singing style. And, yes, the guitar sound is great.
