Excellent!!! Loved it :-) I used (past tense, sadly) to have an amazing dog, so I can totally relate, lol. Bravo!!! Oh, and the melody is just fine! :-) Earthy rhythm from the backing track and cool harmonic progressions makes it irrelevant if it's not "Casta Diva" or something in terms of melodic finesse. It works just perfect, and I mean that, here! :-) All in my humble view, of course :-)

Bravo - having heard some of your other tracks too, what a genuinely great musician you truly are.

Thanks to all who listened and to those who commented.

Thanks, Mario. It was written in a hurry for one of those "write an album in a month" things (RPM 2007) so any misgivings I have about the melody relate to how too similar the verses and choruses are.

Don't mind about the 'greatness' of the melody. Your vocals are very, very good on this kind of music. And I love that voice. I don't even come close to it when having a cold.
Make me more of this kind of songs with such a voice!
But, give me the dogs name...

Hans


Alright, Hans. The Dog's name was Boo Boo, so thus shall you ever be Boo Boo to me.

A fun tune. The band sounds good. I like your vocal!

Enjoyed

Thank you, Floyd. I like yours better.

Really liked this one.

Peter


Thanks, Peter. The first iteration was quite a bit thinner. I was happy with the Band and what it delivered this time around.

I don't recall hearing this particular combination of Realtracks before but it sure creates a great groove! My feet were tapping along.

Your writing, singing, arranging and producing all sound excellent to me.

All the best,
Noel


Thanks, Noel. That's exactly what I hoped to do. Just entertain.

I'd prefer the vocal to be a bit more out of somebody else's mouth. wink Thanks for the listen and I'll do better mixing next time.

Excellent write. Has a cool scratchy vintage feel to it. Very well performed. Fun stuff. Thank you for sharing!

Misha.


Scratchy? Must be the dog.

You have the perfect voice for this sort of material too, just the right edge to it.

Nice!


Thanks, Dave. I hope we can hook up again sometime soon.

Good Job Mr T!


Thanks for listening and the comment, Jim.

The melody hooks, and that's all that matters.

"Just don't call me the dog's name..." Great!

I really liked this.


Thanks so much.

Everything sounds good on the mix.
What`s 2007 RPM?

Robert


2007 RPM was one of those "write and record an album in a month" things. I participated in 2007 (February). I tried again in 2008, but my computer died days into the month. Musically, the best single month of my life.

That's probably a combination of two different delays on two iterations of the vocal track. Sorry for the whiplash.

Fun lyrics.

...three chords, and the truth--even if it never happened. Glad you enjoyed.

Thanks, Janne. The first iteration was more EP based and followed my chords a bit better, but I like this groove better.

Thanks, Torrey. I hope it got out of your head eventually.

Thanks, Stefan. Just one for us cats.

The melody is fine and what a cool idea for a write.

Fine vocal, mix and RT choices wrap it all up. That dobro
really caries it.

Not too big on using the term...but, well, "catchy." It genuinely sticks
with you -- lyrically and melodically.

Lot of fun!

J&B



Thanks, I think there is a creme available if it sticks too long.

'Tangmo', and everybody else who reads this comment...

I swear to God Almighty in the heavens above that the icons on the notification bar at the top of my tablet screen were moving right-left-right-left in sync with the slam-dunk rhythm of your funky, rockin' song, The Dog's Name laugh.

I. Am. Not. Lying.

'Tangmo', partner, you done cooked-up some blues/rock music that was as juicy and fingah-lickin' good as rack'a slow-mo smoked ribs served with crisp cole slaw an' spaghetti with spicy meat sauce on it laugh. I imagined I was hearin' a live band throwin' it down in a packed bar/music venue, with plenty'a patrons bustin' soulful, sexy moves on the dance floor.

Wish I could give ya' a 'high five' through the User's Forum for this tasty blues, but I reckon I'll jes have'ta wait on that one.

Place this track on the mantlepiece over your fireplace, if ya' got one!

Groovin' like a hipster,

LOREN (a.k.a. 'bluage')

P.S. Your lyrics were 'a hoot' laugh , and, if that was YOU singin', I wanna hear more. Mean it. The gruffness and grit in your voice was perfect for this song, man.

Most enjoyable Tangomo. Brought a smile to my face ! Nowt wrong with your voice at all. Some of the pop stars ? AIN'T nearly as good AND they use voice correction as well. Spice girls but to name one lot. They were still gettin singin lessons when they were at the height of their career for cryin out loud. This is a great song no mistake !

Liked the attitude in your singing and the song was good. The song lyrics raised more questions than gave answers but it was generally fun and fit the song well. Harp was good.
