Well being lovers of shuffles we were hooked from the get go...

I've oft heard that if you're gonna be a songwriter you gotta have something to say...and you never run out. But it's more than that it's also how you say it. This is a wonderful example of taking a theme and enriching it with outstanding imagery and rhymes. There's enough in this one song to make two or three good ones.

Your vocals are not only excellent but they are always well recorded, processed and mixed...and this is another fine example of that. Not as easy to do as one might think.

So who is this cool guitar player you keep in your basement and claim credit for? He nailed this puppy. BTW, Janice immediately knew it was you when we played it. And it's been a while smile

The mix is super being nice and open and "everybody" having their place on the stage.

Oh yeah, nice SC photo also.

Kudos mr jane!

I think I've heard that before...

My humble regards,

Thanks, Deej...appreciate that...

Alan - thanks fro stopping by again. I intended this to have a sort of B&D feel, so thanks for that (and I think you are right, this sounds like one that Kix would have done the vocals on...)

Another in what is becoming a long line of wonderfully written and performed songs. Always a pleasure to see you post a new one. You are an inspiration to many here, Tom


Thanks, Tom. I appreciate all of that...

Nice of you to say, Marty...thanks!

Hey, what's not to like here? Classic backing track, superb break-down in the chorus,
wonderful signature vocals and well, THAT guitar.

Just when I thought I'd heard it all, there's that 24 bar guitar solo at the end.
I never knew you could play like that! This is definitely a guitarist's track.
I glad all my nagging about solos finally paid off.

Did I say I liked this one....

Nicely done.

ROG.


ROG - thanks for that very nice review. I truly appreciate it... smile

Thanks for your contributions here, especially the time you take with others. Really appreciated.


TM - and thanks to you for taking the time to listen and comment...

Dang.... I thought I had commented on this already. I do remember hearing it earlier in the week.

Cool rocking groove. Nothing to complain about there. Good mix.

I knew a girl like that. She was the cuz of another drummer but for some reason she took up with the drummer in the band I was in. She was redneck as hell and he wasn't. Never did figure that one out. I remember one night she was trash talking about a Marine who was in the club and he told the drummer to muzzle her. Wrong thing to say. She kicked that Marine’s butt and he was bigger than her. Hold on tight ..... maybe he let her win... Male chauvinist and all that. I don't know what was worse for him... Getting ragged by his buddies for beating up a girl half his size or getting beat up by a girl half his size. I reckon he figured it out. She was something else. I was kind of relieved when he quit and we didn't have to put up with her mouth.

Yep...I liked the song. Sorry I missed commenting on it earlier.

I didn't know there was going to be a quiz! wink

I thought pairing John Deere with fishing gear was inspired.

Loved hearing you solo. laugh


David - SO nice to see you drop in! You have not been around much lately. You are missed!!....
