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

I got a kinks vibe from this, and I loved the vocals and the band sound.
Enjoyed this well done .

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!

A superb track Kenny. Bob Dean said, this is Band-like and sounds just as good as their tracks, a very professional sound going on there. Great choice of instrumentation and the vocal delivery is just right.
Cheers John Thank you John

Kenny,
Still ON FIRE. Each new track seems better than the last (and "the last" was killer).
Everything about this is top shelf.
Amazing write. Sounds like a instant classic.
Awesome BAND. Love the percussion. Excellent mix.
One of your all time best vocals. In-the-pocket energy (without the "too hot" thing ever). Whatever you are doing....keep it up!!!
Incredible stuff.
fj thanks Floyd, my hearing is making a comeback, makes it easier to mix I think it pales in comparison to your productions.

Yeah, I dig it. Had a listen yesterday but didn't have time to comment. Good reason to give it another spin Always enjoy your lyrics, so well written! And that signature vocal too. I see a couple people mentioned a lost track from the band, I didn't notice that yesterday, but it does have that sort of vibe about it. Very good, Kenny, as your songs always are! Thank you Dave

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!
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up. Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

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.

Got me from the very beginning - great groove, excellent opening line. Hilariously subtle as a brick - great write. Love it. Ha! great comment (subtle as a brick) of course you're absolutely right why not write a song as a 20/21 year old with a one track mind thank you for your listen and kind words

Kenny,
Crackles with foot stomping energy! That`s a terrific use of the chopping fiddle style and bodhran... but its your vocal that`s the highlight for me. I think you`ve found the way to record/mix your voice with nothing lost now. Can`t think of anything that could be better on this fun song... except maybe to dance to it!
Robert Thanks Robert, love your comments and appreciate them

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

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
Cheers, Deryk

Kenny, First of all, cool tune! Sincerely enjoyed it! Probably what's really important in my dilettante view is that you are trying different things musically. Meaning, you are not shy of experimenting with lyrics, styles and uncommon choices of instruments for the genres. That is what makes stuff interesting! "Angela" sounds great in all respects. I would not change a thing.
Thank you for sharing!
Misha.
Misha, thank you so much for those kind words

How do you turn out such quality so fast? Ooh la la and your raspy voice brought the Faces to mind, but it was nothing like that, it was its own good thing. Keep em coming. TuneMonger, thanks for your listen and kind words
