Excellent all around, Tom. Everything shines and the clarity of each track is wonderful. Those drums are clean and crisp. Instruments and vocals are where they belong. Very well done. Scott, it’s great to hear from you. Thanks for the wonderful comments. Hope you’re doing well, Tom

Hi Tom,
Your vocals are very good, Tom. I was amazed. And the song was so good. Your singing and the kind of songs immediatly make me think of Floyd Jane. Have you ever played together or planning to? That would be something!
Your instruments and vocals sounds very bright/cristallclear in my headphones. I hope I can reach that level once...
Thanks and stay safe overthere in Florida,
Hans Hans, Thanks for the kind remarks. Floyd and I share the same birthday and have done a collaboration to celebrate for the last 9 years or so. Tom

Hi Tom ...
You got it all in this one! Lyric is exceptional, backing tracks perfectly blended, a vocal that simply shines and the perfect blend of all that.
Mt favorite lines have all been mentioned by previous commenters. Just know that I think every word fits perfectly and adds to the overall appeal. Nothing wasted here ... everything it needs and not a single thing it doesn't. A great song and delivery!
wishing you the very best. Be safe out there!
Alan Alan, That is simply a wonderful review. Thank you so much, Tom Tom,
I could listen to your music all day long... A great song, vocal and production.
Great stuff.
Bob Bob, I'm very glad you liked it, Tom

Outstanding song. I love the guitar solo, and the lyrics are so truthful. Thanks for sharing!! Ronnie, thanks for giving it a spin, Tom What write, Tom! So many good lines in this one. Love the imagery. I think this is my favorite write of yours to me. Very well put together, and just "vague" enough to fit numerous life situations, so most everyone can relate to this song.
I am always a fan of your vocals. They always have a raw purity to them that just draws me into the song. The past couple years have been challenging to my schedule to say the least. So I haven't been able to be as consistently involved in the forum as I really want to be. But every time I do have the chance to get back here, I really love to hear what everyone is doing, but there are a few members that I actively look for their material, and you are one of them. I am never disappointed! Thanks for writing and sharing this one.
Always looking forward to more!
Steve
Steve, thanks for your generous review. Those were some very nice things to say. I hope you’re doing well,Tom

Darn good song. No doubt about it.
The lyrics bring the listener right into the experience of the song's persona.
Guitars, vocals, mix, melody: all excellent. Thanks for listening and commenting, Tom Great tune and performance Tommy. I really enjoyed it SD, those are some very nice comments.Thanks, Tom Tommy,
"if i keep driving I might disappear
Radio’s dead don’t make a sound
I’m too far gone now to turnaround"
Dark driving, dark thoughts, dark roads...
No seams between your n BIAB's - mix is solid.
VERY cool sir. Thank you Ray. Your comments are appreciated, Tom

Hi Tom,
When we set off to France we have a six hour drive to the ferry and I
could easily leave this track on repeat play for the whole journey.
A fabulous rolling sound which is so commercial (in the best possible sense).
Loved the backing track, loved the vocals, great lyrics and some very
tasteful guitar work.
I'd happily buy the album.
Cheers,
ROG.

Tom,
Yeah, this is a keeper. Terrific sound right out of the gate, with an vocal that pulls the listener right in. Stellar production work! Better than most country songs coming out of Nashville or wherever (what few I listen to anymore these days). Just outstanding!
Humble regards,
Deej
Deej, Those are some very generous comments. Thanks for all the,Tom

Over time, I've probably written more than 500 'road' songs that erased from my ram memory the second I turned off the ignition in the drive. This song makes me wonder if any were any good because you've produced a new favorite from you. This one has it all, great write, arrangement, production and performance. Glad you came down from the mountain to pay us a visit. Enjoyed my listen of this top notch song!
