Great build starting with the piano/bass, and, man, when that guitar came in I knew we were in for a pleasant ride. Drums and strings and we were off on a fun musical adventure. Excellent title, too. That's exactly what it sounds like. Restless with all the emotion that will bring. Really good stuff, Will.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Mr. Josef...

Exquisite! You began your composition with a sensuous, moonlit, tango-like rhythm adorned with a soulful classical guitar solo, and then, you 'funked it up' with that Real Drum snare while painting wisps of midnight-toned strings over it. This is finely-felt, atmospheric, sexy 'Latin/jazz' music for the road, as the title of the track and the accompanying photo suggests. It's a fresh and welcome diversion in its sound and feel on the forum.

Nice...that was an abrupt change though...I'd have like it foreshadowed by a snare or cymbal hit in the bar before but that's no biggie. NICE one.

Well done. Nice dynamics and the all acoustic band is mixed very well. Not easy to do.

Funky Bolero...yeah smile

Enjoyed it!

Hello Will,

while listening to your song I heard a lot of things happened; firts only the piano and the acoustic bass, then the nylon guitar entered and changed the sphere in a nice way and suddenly the drums entered! I thought 'where is this leading to'? My fantasy of being in a classic restaurant was shattered, but you brilliantly managed to keep it all in hand. So your song is fascinating and nice at the same time!
