Hi Tom.
Another great track.
Very authentic country-blues sound and fabulous pedal steel.
Super vocal delivery.
My foot was tapping long after the track ended!

Tom,
A very enjoyable song!
I like the chorus lyric hook - and the deadpan way you deliver it.
Really good opening musically and lyrically and its nice to hear you on pedalsteel.
All the elements are up to your high standards.

Tom,
Really enjoyed this; very catchy song.
Agree with all the comments and my highlights were:
- Super smooth pedal steel. Really great playing.
- That guitar tone - is it that gorgeous gold Tele featured on the SoundCloud page?
- Punchy drums that really cut through the mix.
- Vocals and harmonies were all spot on.
Great job,
Jez

ROG, I started working on this after Merle Haggard passed away earlier this year. I looked at his discography and realized I had spent years covering not only his hits but his deep cuts as well. This was a tribute to his sound. Thanks for the nice review. Tom

"Is it easier to walk away or easier to stay
What's passed is past but Does it ever really go away
We sure had some good times we let the good times roll
That was a million lies ago"
We're like a broken record...but here it is again...you are so good at taking themes of life that have often been written about and making them sound brand new. This allows you to write about so many folks common experiences but in a way that immediately grabs and holds the listener's attention. And, again repeating ourselves, the writes are never angst ridden or maudlin. They'll rip the paint off of your heart but leave you wanting more.
As always your vocals perfectly reflects the sentiment of the tune. And the production? Man, the soundstage you build is as good as it gets. Loops, RT's, your playing all rolled up in a great seamless package.
Really, Really good!
J&B

Tom,
Bud already quoted the chorus... I would do the same... nice write - solid.. "What's passed is past but Does it ever really go away" <<< great line!!
Excellent mix. Drums sound great. Nice fills throughout. The Tele and steel are super....and the fiddle compliments them both - a tapestry, well weaved...
Again, a terrific vocal.
Everything "in the pocket". Enjoyed several listens...

Great Tommyad signature conversational lyric!! Just when I think your production can't get any more pro, you upstage yourself. So crystal clear, it's in the room. And, this is one of the best vocals I've ever heard on the forum. Great playing, great song, stellar production. Don't know what else to say. You've left me speechless! Take care. Greg
