Thank you for the listen and your comments Herb.

I’ll tweak the guitars as you suggest and I’ve also had some tweaks suggested by RayC. Im just waiting for the AC to bring my music room down from 35 degrees C. It’s roasting in Adelaide today.

Kind regards.

Lee, this is fantastic. Your rhythm guitar and the bass together make this song. Great choice in backing tracks. Outstanding vocal and mix.

Music for driving, sure, I shook in my chair to the music so I can imagine it would work well also in a car in Australian heat. the endless feel in the lyrics reflects the steadily advancing rhythm. Nice gravelly mix which matches with the title. Well chosen "driving" guitar and I like the solo parts, great work to get them sound so alive and fitting the mood and the whole, reminds me bit of Mark Knopfler. Pleasant vocals. No problems with the rhyming scheme or the lack of it, roads - fold works fine for me. Thanks for the ride!

Thank you Mario,

I took a fair while auditioning the lead guitar tracks, I wanted to make sure they all flowed well into each other. Im working on an updated version just to open up the sound and add some reverb. Stay tuned.

Thank you again for listening, kind regards.

Thank you Izzy,

Yeah I was really pleased how this turned out considering I had no theme in mind when I started playing with chords and writing lyrics. It was definitely a case of the music leading and the lyrics born from the feel of the music.

Cheers Izzy, kind regards.

Thank you Janne

I’ve never made anyone shake in their chair before - missus included! You sure it wasn’t an earth tremor!

It does have that relentless beat of a long drive doesn’t it? I am working on an updated version as a few have mentioned it needs opening up a bit, and on playback I tend to agree. We’re in the middle of a heatwave here in Oz at the moment. I went to work on it yesterday, put the headphones on and couldn’t last more than 10 minutes. It’s amazing how much heat your head generates and how wearing headphones magnifies that heat. Hopefully the heatwave will break later today, so I’ll get back onto it, stayed tuned.

Thank you for the listening and kind comments. Kind regards.
