Tom,
This is excellent - love the feel of this. I hear a hint of Levon Helm in your voice and performance. Very cool.
Loved it!
Bob Bob, thanks for stopping by, Tom Tom,
WOW. Killer tracks and an AMAZING Mix.
Your mixes come through the speakers like NOBODY else (here). Truly a Pro sound.
I want to look over your shoulder and see how you manage that.
It is Something Special.
A very good write.
Nice vocals and harmonies.
Good musical lead.
"Somewhere south of Savannah I heard the same old song"
LOVE the hook/title AND the alliteration...
A great listen.
"
fj Thanks for all that and for mentioning the solo. It took a lot of passes to nail that one, Tom

I love everything about this song, the guitar lick at the beginning captivates me and your vocals never let me go.
Pretty good mix, although I personally think the drums in the choruses are a bit too bright.
But overall the production is really good.
Well done! Thanks for the fine comments. I assume you may be talking about the cymbals in the choruses. I thought about taming them a bit then I decided it was passable as it was, Tom

COOK'N!
An amped up J.J.Cale or something like that.
LOUD but nothing's too loud or out of place.
From your list I assume you played bass on this as well.
Ace Bass...great tone for the song - stands up and holds its own.
Cool on all sorts of levels - the vocals - POIFEK t. Ray, glad you liked it. The bass is loops. Thanks for coming by, Tom Such a good mix. Tom. Man, I love the melody and the harmony. This sweet song from south of Savanna sounds super sensation. Dang, what a good hook you got there, sir. Pro sound start to finish. Marty, thanks for the good review, Tom

That Mix! It both breathes well but also sounds BIG. Poppin' drums there.
Those Vocals! They are rich, resonant and full of soul. Yeah man.
Those Guitars! Always great to hear your fine chops and tone.
That Band! Excellent group of session guys you called in.
Those Lyrics! Amongst many great lines we loved:
“Wipe off the dirt wipe off the hurt
From her handprint on my heart”
Love the cover photo at SC too.
Enjoyed it hugely,
J&B

Tom,
Your are certainly on a roll . . . second song I’ve heard from you over the last few weeks that’s deserving of a very large audience. Nice guitar hook (and song hook) that just keeps this song resonating and power country chorus to go with. Pro mix. Oh boy, this one is really, really good. Excellent outing!
All my best,
Deej

Greg Greg, those are some very complimentary comments that may be hard to live up to. The secret drum sauce involves waves CPA drums plug-in among other tweaks. Thanks, Tom Wow, wow, wow!

Nice groovin'!
The drum sound is majestic and the guitar riff is really cool.
It's a true Tom Adams sound.

Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Why isn't this a hit already?
Such a great song, featuring superb guitar work, vocals and professional production.
The lyrics deserve a mention as well.
