Not getting that Band vibe here...maybe a little Mellencamp but mostly a LOT of Kenny!
We streamed it several times on a day trip today and it had Janice singing harmony immediately and talking about how "danceable" it sounded.
One word really comes to mind: Memorable. It just invites more plays. Listening now on the monitors and it sounds great as it did on the Subaru system (a good one).
This is one of those standout nothing left to add nothing left to take away mixes.
Fiddle is amazing...don't have that in the 2018 Mac...hopefully will when 2019 is released.
Percussion is perfect for the stripped down lyric and groove. And the lyric showcases your ability to say things in cool and unique ways.
Great!!!
J&B
Thanks guys! danceable is something I listen for and strive for I want something that makes you wanna move

Wow, Kenny! This is superb! I did pick up a little Band vibe in it. I've always been a fan of The Band, especially after The Last Waltz.
But Like Bud and Janice said, this is definitely YOU. Your craft is coming through loud and clear on it, and I really like it. The energy in this song is just right for the lyrics, and the choice of instruments and style is perfect. I wouldn't change a thing!
Steve
Steve, Thanks so much, same for me , after seeing The Last Waltz I really got into discovering The Band.

Kenny this is your best to date IMHO. Super groove and backing tracks and an outstanding vocal. Well done!
This sounds like a blend of Smookie and New Riders of the Purple Sage to me. But it really is Kenny at his best.
Super song!
Thanks Mario, I haven't heard those references in a while, appreciate your listen and kind words

Your vocal style is really perfect in this song.
Great arrangement and performance.
I have to admit to being disappointed by the lyrics of the chorus but that's probably because I'm verbose, at best, and way too wordy. If it were mine I'd see it as a missed opportunity to try to be a clever dick but to everyone else it's a humdinger. Hey Ray, when asked what the perfect solo would be, Clapton replied "one note" I really value your listens and opinions and appreciate the kind words

Great groove, fiddle, bodran and the loop work well together. Sounds like the first hit single, with modern commercial sound, from a follow-up album to the previous classic one  Your voice just gets better every hit you make. Janne

Kenny,
This has such a nice feel to it . . . don’t know why it reminds me of the Counting Crows--could see Duritz doing this . . . just has that vibe to me. Well put together production wise. . . and a nice hook and vocal keep my ears engaged. Nice work, good luck with it.
My best to you,
Deej
Thanks Deej love me some Counting Crows

What a tune! The first thing that caught my ear was the somewhat unusual percussion on it. The groove is absolutely infectious, and all the while unique. And of course, your vocals soar here - the harmonies on that chorus are fantastic. Wouldn't change a thing - thanks for sharing Hey Deryk, appreciate your listen and kind words

Cool... this has a folk groove to it. I like it.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Hi Kenny,
I just went to have a listen to this but the link is not working.
I mention just on the off-chance that that's correct. (It occurred to me that maybe something might happened with Soundcloud that you did not know about.)
Sorry I missed my opportunity!
Noel

Hi Kenny, Thanks for posting a new link. Gosh this is very, very good! I love that groove and your instrument choice is perfect! What's more is that everything about this sounds like a group playing on the radio. It's so easy to picture you, lead singer, and all the other band members on stage having fun... very enjoyable music. As you have probably already realised, I often focus more on lyrics these days than music. That's probably because I'm pretty new to writing lyrics and I'm always on the look out for tricks and strategies to add to my toolbox. You've done a couple of things with the words that seriously impressed me. The "Angela ooh la la" line is almost a mirror reflection when you repeat it as "ooh la la my Angela" -- how clever is that! Firstly 'Angela' rhymes with 'ooh la la' and then 'ooh la la rhymes with 'Angela'. It's kind of like a sandwich of rhymes and it's incredibly effective! The 'lah' rhyme doesn't sound tired or overused at all even though it's used six times in two lines. What it did to me was that it pulled me into the song and made me sing along with it every time it was repeated! What a great device. That's now added to my toolbox I just have to think about some words to use it with. And I love verse 3 where you end line 1 with "nothing" and then start line 2 with a different interpretation of "nothing". That's a terrific strategy, too. Again, it's added to my toolbox. Thank you for a great listen and for giving me some lyric-writing inspiration. All the best, Noel
