Kenny,
You just keep knockin' 'em outta the park!
This is a great listen (everything you do is). An Excellent write. Rockin'! Good BAND. Just the right a mount of everything.
A vocal with Heart.
Loved it.
(a bit of an Isbell vibe on this - awesome.)
fj As Floyd said, another killer song!!! I'm always expecting something great when I see you've posted, and NEVER disappointed. This is wonderful! Mandolin sounds custom....perfect for the song. As a Californian, I particularly appreciated this.... From Hollywood’s political scenes Of bleeding hearts in limousines It ain’t everything that it’s cracked up to be You are sooooo right!! Great stuff Kenny!!! Take care. Greg

Kenny,
Killer work on this—love those opening lines . . . your vocal on this is sweet; full of heart. And the lead guitar work on this, however you did that, is just perfect. Excellent work—great tune!
All the best,
Deej Thanks so much!

Yeah, I read the whole dang thing, wont do that again, HA. THis is a top song, in every way, has a Jackson Browne feel to it. Thats a very good thing to me. Love it kenny!!! Cliff Cliftond, Sorry you had to read all that, I probably do my Jackson Browne imitation every time out without even thinking about it. glad that you liked the song, appreciate your listen and kind words

Kenny, liked this very much...mix was real nice, and overall I thought the composition hung together perfectly, music/vocal/lyric. I had to go back and read your comment about the quick fade at the end b/c I wish it wasn’t there, but I understand why you had to do it. Great performance as well, thanks for sharing it. Thanks for dropping by for a listen I appreciate your kind words

"When I get back home to Evangeline Where I can be a simple man With my simple dreams Making love in the morning light I know that I’ll sleep better at night And everything in the world will be alright When I get back home to Evangeline"
Man, what a chorus! You never disappoint and we always look forward to a new Kenny song.
"...why I can’t keep my voice from distorting and cracking"
We have a suggestion: DON'T TRY! What you describe to us is simply soul and heart. Americana (and other genre's) have plenty of vocalists with what you describe and we like EVERY one of them. It's a gift...treasure it.
The write, the aforementioned vocal, the BiaB Band and the production are all in the pocket.
Terrific!
J&B
Thanks J&B, You're always very kind with your words and support and it always means a lot coming from you guys.

Some really good writing here. I love your two verses so much I wanted to hear more about this character.
I can hear the J. Isbell but also maybe some Jackson Brown.
And your Vocal suits the vibe perfectly.
Good song writing and a delightful up-tempo rocker!
Keep up the great work! Thanks Lawrence, love your songs

What a tune! I can't believe how catchy this was from the get go. I definitely can see myself humming this in my head for the day. That aside, your vocals are strong and memorable, and there's some great progressions as well. Top notch stuff, you should be proud! Thanks for sharing  Deryk, Appreciate you dropping by for a listen and for your kind and encouraging words

Very nicely kicking pop-rock song with very catchy chorus, reminds me a little of The Jayhawks. Great powerful vocals and excellent mix. Mandolin and the solo guitarist sound very nice.
Janne Thanks Janne, love the Jayhawks, hadn't thought of them but it reminds me of them a little bit too.
