I like this as it is and IMHO "it don't need no stinking vocals"! Its an excellent instrumental!
Very nice blues here with lots of instrumentation that all fits well together.
Keep up the excellent work.

Great tracks Mike... I enjoy it as is... Buuuut... I agree with others about a vocal track... There's a lot of talented songwriters & musicians around here... Ever thought about adding a line to your post... "Any songwriting, lyrics, & vocal collaborations would be greatly appreciated"...
Jim, Thanks for having a listen and taking the time to comment Glad you enjoyed the track. At the moment I'm trying to write a lyric for the song. If that doesn't work out, I might try your collaboration suggestion. Cheers, Mike

I agree with Ray on this one: The organ carried melody is REALLY disorienting as it pans. I love Leslie speakers and univibe rotation but that's a little weird for a melody. Other than that little nitpick, I'm good with it. Love the guitar songs on the track and they are mixed in nicely. Keep up the good work Mike! Thanks for listening and commenting Steve. I auditioned so many instruments/synths for the melody before settling on the Kontakt Hammond so I'm a bit sad it is problematic (though I accept your and Ray's criticism). Do you think it would work just turning the Leslie effect off? Cheers, and thanks again. Mike

Mike, great job mixing this with your own instrumentation! It's a cool track! I love this bluesy vibe in this! At some point maybe a lyric/vocal could be added but still enjoyed as is! Love that instrumentation build up later in song with horn sounds! Thanks, Torrey Thanks for your kind words Torrey. As always I appreciate your input. Cheers, Mike PS: I'm working on a lyric for Lazy Dayz.

Wow loved the intro to this. Got me to sit up straight. Loved this tune. The organ was awesome. Excellent guitar track as well. Well done Thanks Scott. Always nice to get some feedback from you. Glad you like the organ and guitar (and intro). Cheers, Mike

I didn't quite know what to expect, but was totally impressed with what I heard.

Mike, Nice mix and it arrangement.
A tad long for an instrumental but interesting all the way through.
Well done.
Peter Thanks for listening Peter. I toyed with making it a bit shorter but couldn't quite decide where to cut. Cheers, Mike

Ah Mario, you're a lifesaver. I've been drowning this week REALLY trying to write some lyrics for this instrumental and now I hear "it don't need no stinking vocals". Thank you, thank you, thank you. Cheers, Mike

Looks like I missed this the first time around. BiaB is especially good at the blue, and the arrangement kept things interesting. I enjoyed the song.
