Cool play on words. And good overall writing.

Rocking song.

Dewey, all your stuff sounds like it should be on every jukebox in town. Really engaging and hooky with killer lead vocals and harmonies. Super tune!

Dewey,

A clever write. The chorus is especially strong.
The BAND fits.
Nice vocal.
Mix is good (vocals just slighty too-up-front imo).

Fun.
I'm thirsty.

You are one outstanding song writer.

Hi, Dewey.

The song sets the mood with the first line. Well, actually with the title. laugh

Solid vocals, rocking backing.

Fun listen!

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

Hi Dewey.
A clever write on a clever idea.
The arrangement didn't grab me but you can work on that if you had the time and a mind to.
Good write.

Yeah man, good ole country rock.

You nailed that whole vibe with the cool write, fine vocals, and a good dynamic mix.

Now every time we seen an 18 wheeler with a booze name on the trailer we're gonna think of this tune! smile

Loved the title to the song. Really cool country tune and got a real chuckle from the lyric. Well done.

Cool title. And where'd you find that perfect pic? Cool truckin' beat, and the harmonies elevate those cool vocals. Man, this should be played at every truck stop in the country. 10-4, good buddy. Those beer drivers always seem to have the biggest smiles.


Enjoy whatever happens!

That very clever title with nice double meaning surely invites for haulin' a cold one. Subject well handled, fun. Catchy melody and nicely rocking band. Should be played in every bar, jukebox and truck. Hope the truckers sponsor you with a lifetime of free beer smile

Good day, Vic

In order to help me improve, what was it about the arrangement that didn't grab you. Do you have any suggestions?
