Here's my latest blues song from my album "Alone And Blue" Drums - BIAB BassaBrushes #1 Bass - BIAB 33 Acoustic String Bass Rhythm Guitar - Captain Moto Lead Guitar - Captain Moto Vocals - Captain Moto Mixed in Studio One https://soundcloud.com/captainmoto/feel-no-rain-1Lyrics: I'm standing in a storm, I feel no rain I'm blind to the lightning, No thunder in my veins Drained my emotions, everything'd the same Lost my senses when you said you wouldn't stay Trapped in a fire, I have no pain I could be eat'n by the searing blaze Trapped by the embers, burned by the flames Lost my senses when you wouldn't stay...Oh no no no Guitar solo When the flood comes, to carry me away I won't try swimm'm, I'll be roll'n in he waves With the torrent raging, I'll be your castaway....oh yea Lost my senses when you you couldn't stay...Oh no

moto,
A good listen.
A little Santana-ish mixed with a little Neil Young-ish.
A cool sound.

fj Santana & Neal Young.........that's a good one. I can relate to the Santana vibe, but never connected to Neil Young. Funny though, I received another comparison to N Y, weird, thanks for listening and your comments.

Captain, Cool vintage groove. Jim jamming with Carlos?  Strong vocal drive and arrangement. Got proper dusty feel to it. If you care, I think the only weakest spot to my ears are drums. They sound a bit midi'ish. Enjoyed it! Thank you for sharing. Misha.

Just kidding, thanks for the feedback. moto

Moto,
Great song here man. I agree with Floyd, I hear a little Santana in here.
Great mix and sound.

The rhythm guitar reminds me of Normie Rowe and the Playboys version of It Ain't Necessarily So from 65 though it could point to someone catching a lift on a tempest in 71. Regardless of similarities it's a cracking tune. Well done. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvOQzxVyPMk&ab_channel=sallie6

Very nice, Captain. I see comparisons are being made. I'm also hearing a hint of the Doors.

CaptainMoto,
This has a Santana vibe to it, with a Neil Youngish vocal—to me at least. Like the write a lot and the production is very solid. I’m wondering whether the lead guitar needs to come more forward on the solo—see what others think . . . it may be fine just as is. Nicely done!
All my best,
Deej
P.S. I always try to write my comments before looking at others and scroll down afterwards. Just saw Floyd’s comments come up first—Santana & Young!

Hi Cap,
listened to this before I had read the other comments, and the first thing I thought was: Santana feel, Ventures guitar sound and Jim Morrison is singing. Most of all the latter is amazing - ever considered you might be the one every Doors tribute band has always been looking for?
Seriously, a truely great tune, LOVE your vocal and the production sounds excellent.
Really very well-done, yessiree, Cap.
Stay well and take care
Stefan

A really, really excellent track. I've heard Santana play, I've never heard Neil Young sing - so I can't help with those comparisons ... but it sounds unique to my ears, a unique combination of sounds - so well put together. It works so well - bravo!
