MEDICINE MAN

Since Tom (tommyad) is on a bit of a sabbatical I thought I’d repost this song he and I wrote last year (and that he produced)…just to keep us all reminded of his talent! It seemed that a way to do that would be to create a lyric video and perhaps offer a fresh take on the tune. Nothing commercial here, no chorus just a refrain, no bridge, outlier imagery, etc., just the fun of collabs and BiaB while also learning to create lyric videos.

Tom, Janice and I appreciate your time to both look and listen. And, as always, comments are welcome.

Janice: vocal
Tom: acoustic guitar, lead guitar, flute sample, RT/RD selection, mixing and mastering

Medicine Man
© 2014 Tom Adams and Bud Merritt

I watched the sun paint the evening sky
and slept on the mesa in the star light
I sought a vision of a way back to you
But there were no signs, I felt hope die

All I need is the touch of a healing hand
Come on home and be my medicine man

I’m the daughter of Mother Nature’s son
grandfather said I was a chosen one
cleanse the spirit clear the mind
bathed in the mud, washed in the blood

I need is the touch of a healing hand
Come on home and be my medicine man

I searched for herbs in the valley below
own by the river a wise old crow
left a message and flew into the sun
flowers, leaves, roots won't cure me, no no

All I need is the touch of a healing hand
Come on home and be my medicine man

Come on home and be my medicine man

Wow!! Very cool, and loved the video. I don't believe I've heard that before and I liked it!! Love that guitar groove. The music really captures the native American feel, and the lyrics are really cool-very poetic. Vocal is killer (what else could it be)! Enjoyed much! Take care. Greg

Brilliant!

I enjoyed that,
everything fits so well,
Janice, Tom and Bud, I listen to your songs and for those few minutes life is so good

thank you

Alyn

Wonderful job all around. Everything is perfect for the genre. It looks like video will soon be pulling at the rest of us to up our game. Video really adds a lot to the overall experience.

Charlie

I really like the juxtaposition of the swamp rock sound with the more urban beats. A really good sound and production. Great listen!

What a great feel. Nice guitar work, fantastic driving beat. Sensational video. Perfect lyrics. One of the best. Congratulations Team!

Hi Janice, Bud and Tommy,

I heard this song some time ago. I think nothing
has changed in the (great) music, but the video
adds a lot to the mood. Thanks, Bud.

Guenter

Another I75 hit.

Hi J&B and Tom,

Well, this is really something else!
First, we looooove Tom's lead guitar on this, really spiritual.
Janice's vocal appears to have a somewhat "modest" touch here, which we really love.
Bud's video:
the best we've seen so far of you guys. We especially like the ripple effect (really gives that LSD feeling ).
All in all one of your best!

Rob and Anne-Marie

Peyote in this setting I guess...lol

Nice song and I liked the video. You are a lucky guy Bud, you got a great vocalist there!!

Have fun.


Billy

Such a great listen. Talk about coloring outside the lines!...

The additional elements in this are SO well done - the flute - the percussion - I seldom hear a tambourine that I "like" - the one in this is excellent.

All the usual superlatives apply, of course...

Y'all do it right.

Thank you Greg. That is high praise and we are very appreciative especially given how much we admire your work and we thank you for the time to listen and comment!!

Tom/J&B




Thanks Peter!!

Great work all round. Very haunting. You guys really catch the vibe.
Excellent

Alyn, that is a very kind comment! Thank you very much.

J&B




Thanks Charlie. Lyric videos are definitely the easier way to go. Mine are a work in progress. About every time I start one I've forgotten half that I learned from the previous one! Another product of aging.....

J&B



Thanks, those drums juxtaposed with Tom's guitar was all his idea...and, yep, it was a good one!

J&B

That's nice of you! We appreciate it.

J&B




Thank you Guenter. You are right in that the
audio is the same. We are glad that you
felt the video added to the song!

Thanks,

J&B

I didn't catch this last time around, either...

The video is such a great compliment to the fine writing, guitar, vocal and production.

Another great one!

Thanks Bob, still looking for the beer coozies.

J&B

Excellent song, performance and video. Loved the atmosphere created. Well done all round!

John

This is such a good song. So distinctive with an inescapable vibe. I'm glad you put it to video. Well done montage and perfect excuse to be able to listen to the song again!

Bravo!

Thanks Billy. Yep very lucky. 35 years of hiking, biking, kayaking and making music together. I won life's lotto!

Bud

Thanks floyd, we are always happy when "the man" enjoys one of our efforts!

J&B



Thanks Rob!

J&B

Thanks Curt. Appreciate the comments.

Hello,

another great song by you.
I like a lot the bass line, the guitar riff
and your voice Janice, as usual.

Very fine the video too.
Great work.

Hello.

Thank you John. Glad you like the feel.



Thanks. Tom really established the vibe with the guitar riff!

J&B

Thanks for listening and taking the
time to comment. We appreciate it!
