Please have mercy on me, just trying to fit in Probably not breaking any new ground here but just picked up a new Fender Telecaster recently and wanted to see if I could make it rock lol! On a more serious note, this one is inspired by the many people I see out on the road that long to be home. Thanks for taking time to give it a listen. BIAB Drums - Rock Sync Kick Me Vocals Bass - Through a very old Peavey Foundation straight into Studio One with EZ Mix plugin Guitar - Electric lead and rhythm using a Fender Ultra Telecaster through a Headrush Gigboard Guitar - Acoustic rhythm track using a Taylor 812ce (somewhat buried in the mix) through a T-Rex Soulmate Organ - Through a Yamaha keyboard Road Weary Blues Words and music by Torrey Bliss copyright 2021 Two lane road late at night Moonlight shining down through my window bright Rays of light penetrating my soul Perpetual motion of the wheels takes a toll Been on this journey since I don't know when Can't remember where I'm going or where I've been Distant neons fixed in my gaze Glow in the dark illuminate my way If you care to know Hear this tired old soul I don't want I don't want To sing these road weary blues Take me home take me home And off this road to Timbuktu I had a dream oh it led me here Now my passion has turned to fear I must untangle from this web I weave Nothing good here now that I perceive I hear a voice that I used to know Now disrupting my status quo This indecision my heart endures Has made my way out become obscured If you care to know Hear this tired old soul I don't want I don't want To sing these road weary blues Take me home Take me home And off this road to Timbuktu I don't want I don't want To sing these road weary blues Take me home take me home Here if I'm a winner I lose I don't want I don't want To sing these road weary blues Take me home take me home And off this road to Timbuktu I don't want I don't want To sing these road weary blues Take me home take me home I hate these road weary blues Last edited by Torrey Bliss; 03/06/21 02:17 AM.

Nice bass line...Guitars blend nicely and your vocals "pop". Sweeeet. Tasty guitar throughout. "Blues" in the title. "Catchy Pop Rock" in the tracks... Great listen. Sounds good!! fj 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

Instruments sound good. Vocals are good but, seem a bit strained at some points. Overall, I think you accomplished your goal. moto An Old Man Make'n Music https://sites.google.com/view/captainmoto-com/home?authuser=0

Very strong and skilled interpretation too, expressing the anxious feeling to get back to home base to reload batteries of life, nice lyrics - we can be stuck on the road in many ways. Excellent solo, great mix. Janne Hear My Music: Soundcloud YouTube

If I hadn't see the organ and acoustic guitar listed, I wouldn't even had known they were there. Which means they're doing their job and staying out of the way of the leads. Vocals are energetic and emotive. Fun to listen to! I hear a voice that I used to know Now disrupting my status quo Ha! Although the guitars are stellar, the bass really steals the show here. Love the twin guitar solo, and the sustained chords at the end. Not really blues, but I'm not complaining! Really fun song - solid classic rock. -- David Cuny My virtual singer development blog Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

I looked up every item of gear/software you listed to get clues on doing my things better. The vocal is ACE. The new guitar rocks really well. IMPRESSED. Excellent mix though I did note that chop accent jumps a little hard over the other guitars..is it panned the same as the others? Could it be shifted a little? I don't think it matters in the grand scheme of things but it did come to my dead ears. REALLY UP, driving fun sounds with a good message - energized by the thoughts of home.

I wake up immediately. As usual, it's a little reminiscent of Paul McCartney. Enjoyed my listen a lot. Best regards. Shigeki Adachi
