One more in my series of simple productions.
Just me on guitar and vocals.
All acoustic.
The percussion is me slapping the guitar and a shaker.

Here's "Bad Like You"

https://soundcloud.com/captainmoto/bad-like-you

Lyrics:

Every man, needs a good woman
And I guess, that might be true
But this old man, aint look'n for noth'n
Cause I got a woman, bad like you.

Oh, you're bad baby, your bad

I like the way, you give me lov'n
I like those evil, things you do
The look in your eyes, oh, tells me something
I want a woman, bad like you

Oh baby, Oh you're bad
Ha ha

Oh my goodness, you're so bad
Liv'n without you, would make me madd

Oh, I don't wanna live without ya, Oh you're bad

~~ Guitar Solo ~~

Keep those sweet girls, away from me uh huh
Send them back to mama, uh huh that's what I do
I got what I want, can't you see
I got a woman, bad like you

Uh hu, ha ha ha, bad like you

Hi Moto,

You've got a great groove going on there and I particularly liked the stripped back mix with nicely panned guitars.

This could easily be by Ry Cooder or JJ Cale and that is high praise.

Only suggestion:
- You may care to add more fills from the guitar in the right speaker - it is very tasty.

Look forward to hearing more like this.

Best Regards
Nigel

Thanks for the comments,
Appreciate your suggestion.
I've got several guitar tracks going there, perhaps the left is a little too loud making the right sound weak.

Hello Moto!! This reminds me to get back to your Spotify channel. There is so much good there. I really like your trimmed down approach here. You have great taste and skill, and always manage to fill the tracks with interesting twists, little pieces of cool that reward the discriminating listener.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Captain,

I love that little riff going on in the verses! It really sticks with you! Kind of a LaGrange vibe going on and man I was waiting for that explosive entrance of the band ....but maybe another time! It's stands just fine on it's own though! Nice work! Thanks, Torrey

What else could I call this but ZZ Top unplugged. Extra fine acoustic blues. That's just nasty.
