Sounds great LOUD, but I think I think this one really needs to be played in the truck on the interstate. Great track. Loved the whole thing.

Everything works so well. I can tell you pay attention, because it shows up in your songs! May I ask what you put the loops in to use them? _________________________ C.Aaron Madison I often get asked how to pronounce my name.

That's my kind of country rock.... well written, and some really nice playing and good parts.... some hot fills in there.... especially in that chorus. Your voice fits this nicely. I'd pull the high harmony on the chorus back a few dB .... nothing major.... harmony sounded good. Nice lyric crafting as well.

Quote: Had my love of travel not been overtaken by my love of family, I may have ended up this guy. You and me both... Herb, Thanks. I think I've heard you play a very similar guitar lick before. I agree the high vocal ( which actually is the lead ) is a bit too loud. I intentionally made it louder than the lower harmony, but I may have overdone it. I'm not sure I can fix it. I bought a new computer and have been having problems moving things from one computer to the other. I was running so many plug-ins and so many tracks that the audio engine and the hard disk couldn't keep up and kept shutting down. Now I have moved the plug ins over to the new machine and many will only run on one machine at a time. Therefore cutting the volume on that one vocal track could turn out to be more than I want to tackle. Thanks for the fine review. Tom

"storage" and "orange"-so clever but not a bit of a forced feeling. The song just grabs you from the first note, and that tele is SWEEEEET! Songs can be fun, or substantive, and in the case of a truly gifted writer (one Tommyad), they can be both. If there's anything wrong with this, I don't know what it is. You are writing some killer Tom!!! Take care. Greg

What a setup for a great song. Bam, right in the face...great lines and rhymes. "I’m a drifter moving toward a random destination searching for a sign of my salvation But What the hell I’m only passing through " Janice laser beamed right in on these three lines. They are STRONG! And they have a lot of company. Powerful write with a ton of wonderful imagery. And then...yeah...there are cool vocals, super pickin' and a high bar Tom Adams production to wrap it all up in. I'm an ole phart and I've heard a helluva lot of "heading out on the road" songs but this one is top of the chart. J&B "storage" and "orange" --- why can't I dream up that stuff? _________________________ Featured Song J&B Soundcloud J&B YouTube J&B Website
