Enjoyed it. Immensely.

I think Floyd hit it square on the head - but doesn't he always?! I agree, in particular, with the "live feel" part of his comment. Your vocals are always to die for. Pretty danged cool! Merry Christmas.

Thanks Alan,

Killer chorus ( who could resist those ooh hoos!).
With a vocal as strong as any you`ve done I`d say this begs for a revisit... as long as you don`t lose the energy that comes through on this demo.

Thanks Robert

Great job on this one!

I kind of re-discovered it and decided that it should see the light of day, warts and all.
Thanks for the listen and comments.

Stronger Than A Hurricane
© 2017 Kenny Leverett

It’s been a long time
Waiting for the sun to shine
Shine again
Feels like a new day comin’
Waiting just around the bend

Like all my lonely
Lonely days are gone
So glad we made it thru
We can make it thru any storm

And it’s a kiss
Sweeter than sugarcane
We got love baby
Stronger than a hurricane
Ooh
Stronger than a hurricane

We were laying low
Dug in tight and good
With a cold hard wind
Tearing thru the neighborhood

You get knocked down
You come right back up again
For a new day comin’
Waiting just around the bend

And it’s a kiss
Sweeter than sugarcane
Sugarcane
We got love baby
Stronger than a hurricane

And it’s a kiss
Sweeter than sugarcane
Sugarcane
We got love baby
Stronger than a hurricane
Ooh
Stronger than a hurricane

dedicated to the resilience of the people in Texas
from my old stomping grounds after hurricane Harvey

Wow, Kenny, that's the kind of song I could listen to all day and all night, So great and catchy. Your vocal's always amazing (even though I'd like to hear what Janice would make out of it...), the guitar parts are so cool and, please: Let it stay that rough and 'warty' - can't imagine how you could make it more attractive for me ...

Great stuff, man !

Like the others have said, I dig the groove, and I love that 60's feel. Vocals are crisp, present, and "on." Thanks for posting this cool tune.

Man, your vocals get me every time! Wish I could sing like that. Nice hearing you play some guitar in there too.

Good song, it definitely deserved to be born and would be worth spending some time on the mix too I think.


Thanks,

I think that I really like the raw energy feel and would be afraid that

if I re-recorded that it might clean up too much.

thanks for the kind words, would love to have you play guitar on something in the future


Yes, the feel is always the most important thing. I've got an old song, first one Chris and I did together actually, that badly needs a better mix but whenever I mess with it it loses the feel.

Sure, I would be happy to do a guitar track for you sometime.


I certainly understand that

I'll contact you and send a song soon (when I get over this cough/crud flu junk)

I completely agree.

This is your best to date IMHO.

I'll take a track like this over any super polished until dull track any day!

You should do more like this.

Man, does that ever stick with you.

It's so weird at times how something in a song can suddenly take you to another place. The first couple words here took me immediate to Long Time Coming with Crosby's voice.

Dunno why but it was a good memory!

Demo? Whatever...like Bob said the energy and live groove are powerful.

We said it...everybody has said it. Your voice is a wonderful instrument. Instantly recognizable in a great way. It and the guitar performance just drive this thing.

Over the top cool listen!

thanks guys,

Almost cut my hair, must be cause I had the flu for Christmas (am I remembering that right?)

I appreciate ya'lls support and kind words and anytime you want to record this song

just let me know.
