Hi all. Wrote this a little while back.
The style comes from the recent "EXTRA STYLES 7"
All comments welcome.

Good Enough For Me


Wont be fooled by your lies I see through your disguise.
Oh baby your still good enough for me.
Though Ive done nothing wrong I know I must be strong
Oh baby your still good enough for me.


I know you go out dancing you love that rock and roll.
The love I have for you will only grow.
You can see the fool I am I'm such a broken man.
But baby your still good enough for me.

Bridge

Like a moth to a flame you drive me near insane.
Ive not shed my final tear as you can see.
Wont be going out to night
you'll not see my burning light
But baby your still good enough for me.

I know you go out dancing you love that rock and roll.
The love I have for you will only grow.
You can see the fool I am I'm such a broken man.
But baby your still good enough for me.

A fast rockabilly folk style that features a classic rockabilly electric guitar playing blues and rock 'n' roll licks. Two acoustic guitars strum similar patterns but one has six strings and the other has twelve. The acoustic bass plays "in 2", often alternating between the root and fifth. RockabillySwing^ RealDrums play in their first variation, which includes simple toms in the A section and tom 8ths in the B section. This song is in the key of A and uses pop and dominant chords that change every 2 to 8 beats.****** Song Summary *************

A catchy tune, Rob.

Nice use of the BAND. You use a lot of styles that other folks never go near... I like that...

Good vocal. Nice mix.

Rob,
It's a cracker!
That 12 string on the right needs a little more balance left of the image. I can hear the electric rhythm over there but it could be louder.
Good vocals, good writing...GOOD!


Cheers

As usual your vocal shines on this number...
And you've put together a great production & mix...
It feels a like a classic combination of rockabilly & rock and roll...
Something akin to some of Carl Perkins tunes...
Another well done job...
I like it!

Rob, I must confess that some of those Realtracks are new to me but they sure do work in this! Great song that sounds like it should have been a big hit back in the day...like something from Elvis's early years! You did a super job on this! Thanks, Torrey

Rob,
You sound great on this, having fun - I can see you on stage- as the dance floor fills up.
Love that 12 string playing swing.
A very well written and performed song!

"I've not shed my final tear as you can see.

These lyrics paint a really pretty but sad picture. You did a great job! Lovely song.

Great vox as usual, liked the placement of the guitar figure after the lyric "you love that rock and roll.' Good package altogether.

I really like this - it sounds just like it rolled off the vinyl presses. You've really captured the rockabilly swing and style, and the vocals are spot on and very smooth. Well done!
