Excellent!!! Loved it :-) I used (past tense, sadly) to have an amazing dog, so I can totally relate, lol. Bravo!!! Oh, and the melody is just fine! :-) Earthy rhythm from the backing track and cool harmonic progressions makes it irrelevant if it's not "Casta Diva" or something in terms of melodic finesse. It works just perfect, and I mean that, here! :-) All in my humble view, of course :-)
Bravo - having heard some of your other tracks too, what a genuinely great musician you truly are.

Thanks to all who listened and to those who commented. I disagree as I think the melody is very strong, as is your vocal.
You had my toe tapping right from the git go. Great mix also.
I liked everything about this. Thanks, Mario. It was written in a hurry for one of those "write an album in a month" things (RPM 2007) so any misgivings I have about the melody relate to how too similar the verses and choruses are. It's the rhythm and the mood that makes this song sounds excellent.
Don't mind about the 'greatness' of the melody. Your vocals are very, very good on this kind of music. And I love that voice. I don't even come close to it when having a cold.
Make me more of this kind of songs with such a voice!
But, give me the dogs name...
Hans Alright, Hans. The Dog's name was Boo Boo, so thus shall you ever be Boo Boo to me. Always tough competing with the dog.
A fun tune. The band sounds good. I like your vocal!
Enjoyed

Thank you, Floyd. I like yours better. An enjoyable piece - really liked the gruff sounding vocal and underlying band.
Really liked this one.
Peter Thanks, Peter. The first iteration was quite a bit thinner. I was happy with the Band and what it delivered this time around. Hi Tangmo, This is a good, fun listen. You entertained me  I don't recall hearing this particular combination of Realtracks before but it sure creates a great groove! My feet were tapping along. Your writing, singing, arranging and producing all sound excellent to me. All the best, Noel Thanks, Noel. That's exactly what I hoped to do. Just entertain. Holds quite well together, Tangmo. The lyrics, the melody and the delivery wrap a nice package, although I'd prefer the vocal a bit more out front. I'd prefer the vocal to be a bit more out of somebody else's mouth.  Thanks for the listen and I'll do better mixing next time. Tangmo,
I think your melody is quite sophisticated for this genre.
Excellent write. Has a cool scratchy vintage feel to it. Very well performed. Fun stuff. Thank you for sharing!
Misha. Scratchy? Must be the dog. Glad you decided to rework this, don't think I ever heard the original but I really like this, great groove.
You have the perfect voice for this sort of material too, just the right edge to it.
Nice! Thanks, Dave. I hope we can hook up again sometime soon. Cool vocal. Loved the production on this . Well done Thanks, Scott. Very kind. A great write...
Unique idea & great lyrics...
Your vocals also add to the pleasant experience of the song...
Good Job Mr T! Thanks for listening and the comment, Jim. Cool, cool, song.
The melody hooks, and that's all that matters.
"Just don't call me the dog's name..." Great!
I really liked this. Thanks so much. A very clever write ( ok, some details made me squirm & laugh at the same time) with the vocal very much "in character" with the lyrics.
Everything sounds good on the mix.
What`s 2007 RPM?
Robert 2007 RPM was one of those "write and record an album in a month" things. I participated in 2007 (February). I tried again in 2008, but my computer died days into the month. Musically, the best single month of my life. A good lyric and melody backed by a solid BIAB band.
The vocal is really good but the essing and whatever is throwing edges of the vocal over to the left are quite distracting. That's probably a combination of two different delays on two iterations of the vocal track. Sorry for the whiplash. Very good vocal and good lyrics made for a great listen, thanks! Thanks very much. Vocal really sits perfect with the style you've captured.
There'a really a lot to like about this.
Fun lyrics.
"He craps his weight in groceries
And gives the kids a ride to school"
...three chords, and the truth--even if it never happened. Glad you enjoyed. Interesting dark blues with a good story, I enjoyed the chording and the melody. Good band and vocals, the piano gives nice vibe addition.
Janne Thanks, Janne. The first iteration was more EP based and followed my chords a bit better, but I like this groove better. Tangmo,
Clever stuff here! Love the vocal and man is that chorus ever good! Love the band also! Thanks, Torrey! Thanks, Torrey. I hope it got out of your head eventually. Hi Tangmo,
HUGE, HUGE fun !!!!!
Great entertaining song, couldn't keep my feet from tappong. The way you sing those funny lines - Mr Cool himself showing up today. Just great !
Cheers,
Stefan Thanks, Stefan. Just one for us cats. Sorry to be so late. LOTS of songs nowadays on the forum!
The melody is fine and what a cool idea for a write.
Fine vocal, mix and RT choices wrap it all up. That dobro
really caries it.
Not too big on using the term...but, well, "catchy." It genuinely sticks
with you -- lyrically and melodically.
Lot of fun!
J&B
Thanks, I think there is a creme available if it sticks too long. Excellent!!! Loved it :-) I used (past tense, sadly) to have an amazing dog, so I can totally relate, lol. Bravo!!!

Bravo - having heard some of your other tracks too, what a genuinely great musician you truly are. Thanks much. But I need to buy new hats now.

'Tangmo', and everybody else who reads this comment... I swear to God Almighty in the heavens above that the icons on the notification bar at the top of my tablet screen were moving right-left-right-left in sync with the slam-dunk rhythm of your funky, rockin' song, The Dog's Name  . I. Am. Not. Lying. 'Tangmo', partner, you done cooked-up some blues/rock music that was as juicy and fingah-lickin' good as rack'a slow-mo smoked ribs served with crisp cole slaw an' spaghetti with spicy meat sauce on it . I imagined I was hearin' a live band throwin' it down in a packed bar/music venue, with plenty'a patrons bustin' soulful, sexy moves on the dance floor. Wish I could give ya' a 'high five' through the User's Forum for this tasty blues, but I reckon I'll jes have'ta wait on that one. Place this track on the mantlepiece over your fireplace, if ya' got one! Groovin' like a hipster, LOREN (a.k.a. 'bluage') P.S. Your lyrics were 'a hoot' , and, if that was YOU singin', I wanna hear more. Mean it. The gruffness and grit in your voice was perfect for this song, man.

Most enjoyable Tangomo. Brought a smile to my face ! Nowt wrong with your voice at all. Some of the pop stars ? AIN'T nearly as good AND they use voice correction as well. Spice girls but to name one lot. They were still gettin singin lessons when they were at the height of their career for cryin out loud. This is a great song no mistake !

Liked the attitude in your singing and the song was good. The song lyrics raised more questions than gave answers but it was generally fun and fit the song well. Harp was good.
