"This one started with a bluesy shuffle from Scott I nudged towards folk rock. "
Yep, and a bit toward a melding of Jefferson Airplane and the Dead to our ears.
Airplane in ambiance and the Dead with that bounce in the rhythm.
We really liked the write and particularly:
"I grew old you pretended not to notice taking you down dead end dirt roads please find enclosed it sticks in my throat my request not that I`m owed"
Your vocal delivers the whole feel very effectively and, man, that guitar is wonderful.
You guys have found a great niche on the showcase!
Enjoyed it.
J&B
J&B, I can hear that Grateful Dead feel now that you mention it. I tried to give the lyrics a little of the period language- thanks for singling out those lines and Scott`s fine guitar on this. The Spirit Level plan to keep filling up our little niche! Very enjoyable shuffle, the chorus is really nice and catchy, the solo is very beautiful. I can really feel the Celtic influences you mentioned and also I can hear Thin Lizzy, especially in Scott's guitar sound and playing. You have found your own style, I'm just amazed how much creative and very productive collaboration there's on this forum. I'm already waiting for your new songs  Janne Janne, I figured you`d pick up on the Celtic rock influences ( I never heard much Thin Lizzy for some reason so will check them out). You won`t need to wait long to hear from us again- we have more coming. Thanks for your listen and comments. Robert

Spirit Level takes interesting turn...
Love it! Very cool progression. Lyrics...Robert did you happen to find 18th century manuscript of a unpublished poet at a yard sale and redacted verses a little? Do not know how you come up with such good lyrics. Scott's playing works beautifully. I like the part where vocals follow his guitar line. Quality stuff! Congrats to both of you!
Misha.

Really nice sound, guys. A strong vocal, lovely guitar tone and catchy chorus.
(I was quite a fan of the Waterboys, Robert, but haven't heard a lot of Runrig. Will check them out.)
Regards,
Leon

Misha. That`s funny, Misha- just so happens I`ve read quite a bit of Lit. from that period;no yard sales, I shop at the library! I`m very glad you enjoyed this. Really nice sound, guys. A strong vocal, lovely guitar tone and catchy chorus.

Leon Thanks for the listen, Leon. The Waterboys seem to be quite unknown over here;Mike Scott is one of my favourite vocalists and he wrote some wildly spiritual rock songs too. Robert

The lovely Marshall makes a lovely sound. It does make the song lean a little to the right though as there's nothing as solid and constant as it on the left.
Lovely song...I was expecting it to be folkier from the intro.
Cheers

Very Enjoyable!
And your originality is also packed in this shuffle.
Your vocal and Scott's Guitar are very nice.

Wow brother!
This kind of put in the mind of "House of the Rising Sun" in the beginning.
But then as I got into your lyrics, it felt more like something Ray LaMontagne would have written.
You have a way of painting a picture with your lyrics.
Good, strong vocals also.
Thanks for posting your song.
I enjoyed listening to it.

The lyrics would fit as an Americana acoustic song; I like the blend of acoustic/electric we came up with in the end ( the chopping fiddle & mandola are still there in the background). There is a bit of a lean on the mix- good ear! Something to bear in mind if we do a retake. Robert & Scott,

Shigeki Adachi Shigeki, The blues shuffle is more part of Scott`s comfort zone than mine- one of the nice learning opportunities these collaborations present. Thank you for your positive comments! Wow brother!

I enjoyed listening to it. Thanks Bawb- I guess I should blush when admitting I`d never heard of Ray LaMontagne- good singer! I appreciate your listen and comments. Robert
