I can relate to this song! I had rust buckets with bad tires, high doctor bills, and had a few females take a hike. So how long have you been spying on me grin

Seriously, this is a super song. Great vocal, perfect backing tracks, excellent mix and great lyrics.

An excellent song.

You're sure it weren't your experiences, Jim?
If not, you sang this song as if they were.
Very nice song, bit dirty, but catchy blues.
Gave a smile on my face and made me think again of those high reindeers you sang about around Christmas...

I only heard some cracks in the song. Is this because of the problems with the internetconnection you have, or am I mistaken about that?

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Jim,
That`s a cool descending riff. Your lower vocal tones sound great...I like how you rhymed "car and "tahr"!
A good fun song.

Dear 'Jim'...

Your Dirty Low Down Blues pleasantly evokes memories of friendly roadside diner jukeboxes, transistor radios, and after-midnight radio shows. The humorous lyrics are simple, yet clever, all at the same time. You sing them in an easy, relaxed and familiar way that could invite listeners to shout out their agreeableness with the truth they hear in them, 'cuz life's like that sometimes, now, ain't it??? smile

Guess I'll put another quarter in...

Like that low register singing! Good for a blues tune, though this sounds more country. Good one, dude.

Hi Jim,

Entertaining!

I like what you've done. The shuffle is such an infectious beat that it's probably next to impossible not to be captured by it.

As always, your writing is strong and your presentation is just as strong.

You got me smiling smile

All the best,
NOel
