Hi all.
Here is a new one.

Not sure if Ive over done the delay on the vocals.
Hope you like it.

Took My Love


Took my love

I took my love into to town.
I took my love into to town.

She spent my hard earned money on things not necessary.
When I made a protest she seemed derog atory.
Bucket loads of money and things Ive never seen.
Even bought a washing board to wash my old blue jeans.

I took my love down by the river side.
I took my love down by the river side.

She scared away the catfish mosquito's buzzing round.
She shoved me in the water man I almost drowned.
Complained about spiders and webs in all the trees.
You know I couldn't stand it bought me to my knees.

Took my love to the ocean blue.
Took my love to the ocean blue.

Complained about the sea birds gliding through the air.
Cursed the coastal breezes for tangling up her hair.
Said she her skin was peeling wanted to go home.
If I had only known

I took my love into to town.
I took my love into to town.

She spent my hard earned money on things not necessary.
When I made a protest she seemed derog atory.
Bucket loads of money and things Ive never seen.
Even bought a washing board to wash my old blue jeans.

Fun tune!! Very clever and well done. RTs were jammin'!! Got a kick out of it. If I were you, I'd lighten up on the verb on this one. Very cool track!! Take care. Greg

Very nice Rob. Almost a traditional kind of sound somehow.
Love the lyrics. They certainly ring a bell with me.
And great job on the vocals and harmonies. Cheers

RichMac is right. Regardless the genre, you get an authentic traditional vibe in your songs as well as anybody can.

Bluegrass is a personal favorite genre and I have no doubt any traditional bluegrass radio station would play this tune over and over.

Charlie

Yep. (It may be that the vocal verb is a little heavy, not sure.)

'She scared away the catfish mosquito's buzzing round.
She shoved me in the water man I almost drowned.
Complained about spiders and webs in all the trees.
You know I couldn't stand it bought me to my knees.'

Brilliant!

Along the bayous lined with Cypress trees, which have knees, large banana spiders spin giant webs. And of course there are catfish, and those bloodsuckers.

Nice job Rob. There are some well crafted lyrics here. Too much delay on the vocal. You have a good feel for this genre. Another great vocal. Tom

Very cool tune man!! Some of the trcks truly sounded "live"--was that RealTacks??

Great production!

He said it all. Very cool and as a long time bluegrass
picker I know the purist will argue about the vocal
effects...so be it. It's cool to hear something different.
Great job!

J&B

Thanks Old mate.
Fish and chips still ringing in my ears.
Rob

G'day Rich.
Your a great supporter.
Always appreciate your comments.
Rob

Hello Charlie.
Very kind of you say.
Appreciate your encouraging comments.
Rob.

I hear the Kingston Trio with some guest instrumentalists! quite enjoyable.

P.S. I kinda like the reverb.

Hello Greg.
Thank you for your comments and advice.
regards Rob.

Hi Rob,

What a great listen! Bluegrass is a personal favourite of mine and you did it justice! As others have noted, there are some truly inspired lines in these lyrics. I'm heading back to another run through.

Regards,
Noel

• latest song, I Can See Tomorrow

Nice job on that, Rob. I enjoyed my listen.

Can't go wrong with those bluegrass RTs! -fj

hi rob,

great bluegrass song as usual

this time I relly like the test.
good the real tracks you used.

Hello.

Rob,

Your songs are always so much fun to listen to and this one is no exception. Your songs are always so descriptive that it's easy to imagine the scenes. No one else has mentioned it but that is an outstanding ending. I don't know how you did it but it sounded like the mandolin and fiddle doubled each other.

Hi Oleman.
Thanks for your comments.Still not sure about the reverb opinion does seem split.
Thank you for your encouraging words.
Rob

Thanks for listening Tommy.
Hope you are doing well?
Rob

Hello David.

Thanks for listening and commenting.
You can be assured they are all real tracks.
Rob

Thank you, you guys.
Love to hear from.
Rob

Hi there Patrick.
Thanks for the comments.
I kinda like the verb as well.
Rob

Hello Noel.
Glad you like the song. Appreciate your encouraging comments.
Rob

Hello Floyd.
Thank you for your support.
Rob

Hi Jim.
How are you my friend?
I think the secret is to pick the right tracks to show off what you are trying to do.
I like to let the real tracks shine as they are the real stars.
Thanks for listening.
Rob
