Cool mix of styles. It works good. Good production. Very cleaver idea. It's good to hear something new from your camp.

I would have never thought in a million years to combine these two musical forms, but you were creative and imaginative enough to do so. I think the results were pretty cool, maybe the vocal could have been a little louder. I bet Redbone wishes they had done this. Big bonus points for the creativity. I wonder what kind of reaction this would get at a gathering of Nations.

Yow. I'd never have thought to combine these.

Works well!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Interesting mix of styles that work really really well together!

I think it sounds great. Vocal could maybe come up a little in the mix, doesn't need much though.

Loved the ending also.

Well done!

Outstanding, bluage. I have some Susquehannock blood running through me, and instinctively chant (most often just in my head). This is a wonderful mix of the blues and chants, both primal expressions from our soul. The gospel singers also bring in another primal urge. The sax solo was unexpected. A very creative idea mixing these together, and, man, you really filled it with a fun band of musicians. Did you try a flute instead of the baritone? You probably did because you obviously spent some quality time on this and crafted a masterpiece.


Enjoy whatever happens!

This is both original and aboriginal at the same time laugh Interesting combination of different styles.

Very nice use of all those percussions, effects add nicely to the mood. The singing reminds me of yoiks by the Sámi people in Nothern Finland (also the sleigh bells add Northern feeling).

I really enjoyed hearing your chanting on this forum smile

Hello, 'Tunemonger'...

Thank you very much for listening, commenting, and suggesting an improvement, which I made by increasing the volume of the first part of the vocal track.

I, too, wonder how the song would be received by 'Native American' listeners, mostly because I don't know what the sampled voices are saying, and neither did the owner of the Q-Up Arts website.

'dcuny'...

I didn't think to combine these these types of music until twenty years after I came up with the improvised chant. What happened eventually was that I heard the sound of the 'blues' in the chant, and Band-in-the-Box helped me flesh-out the sound I wanted.

Thank you for taking time to audition this production!

Helo, 'Blue Attitude'...

I took your suggestion and increased the volume of the first part of the vocal track.

Dear 'BabuMusic'...

Wow! Thanks for the enthusiastic comments. I didn't think to try-out any solo instruments other than the baritone sax because it had the 'gutsy', slow-drag sound I wanted to hear.

Sincerely,

LOREN

Dear 'Scott C'...

Yes, indeed, Johnny Hiland's electric guitar solo was a knock-out, wasn't it? Thank you for listening to my production!

Sincerely,

LOREN
