Leon's voice reminds me of Rod McKuen.
The vocal track could use a tiny bit of sibilant management - less on the esses and more on the tch etc bits.
The organ sounds great over on the side.
Those tidy guitar licks are great and they lead to a cool solo.
Nice one!

Hi Peter and Leon,
great idea to start the year with a tune like this !!!
Leon: This is proof that you're a very angry (young? old?) man, too. Great, great lyrics.
And a good flowing, well-sung tune anyway. Love the parts when Peter falls in.
And, Peter, brilliant guitar stuff again (but who would expect anything else...).
Love the thing AN AWFUL LOT !!!
All the best for 2020,
Stefan

This is the first song of the new year for me.
Love the lyrics, very thought provoking. Great work on the guitar too, that outro solo especially was cooking.
Nice way to kick off 2020 Peter and Leon!

Hi Peter,
You and Leon are definitely a songwriting force! The two of you keep on turning out quality production after quality production. "Bad Men" sits alongside all the terrific listening music that you've created to date.
I enjoyed listening.
Regards,
Noel

A great rockin' tune. Great lyrics too. I really like the organ, and the guitar and the guitar solo really bring it together.

I enjoyed the listen - great lyrics, and nice harmonies. ... and the spelling of gaol, it forced to finally look it up.

"Bad men seem to prosper Far too often for my liking A little frontier justice Sometimes seems far too inviting" HA! A good lyric throughout. Cool opening. A big sound throughout. (I am not a fan of the drums with the constant open hi-hat - but I know that is a personal preference) The outro guitar is sweet! (the drums under that are good (no open hi-hat) - ). Cool organ! A rousing beginning to 2020. Look forward to many wonderful offerings from from Peter & Leon!! fj

Peter & Leon,
Firstly-that`s a killer outro! Great guitar work thoughout.
An excellent lyric that`s fun in a biting way- my favourite swipe:
"Look at Vladimir without his shirt
You won’t see him get his just deserts
He’ll die in bed surrounded by his family
His obituary will say he was so manly"
An excellent opener for the year!
Robert

Peter and Leon:
Good way to start the year—nice modern folky sound to this one. Like the guitar work following that second verse and thereafter. Love seeing a great collaboration!

Upon listening Janice said, "those bad men need some instant karma!" Yeah. "But that would make me just as bad as them Oh it’s really quite a quandary that I’m in" Something we have oft discussed. Think it was Bob Dylan that referred to folks who'd rather pull you down in the hole they are in rather than come up where you are. A quandary indeed. To ice the great write you guys provided some fine vocals and guitar chops... as expected The mix sounds excellent on the monitors...everyone is hittin' the note. Great thought provoking listen from two of our favs! J&B PS Definitely a bad lookin' dude in the cover art!
