Hi Mr. Dean.
I like these laid back styles. Very Dylanesque.
I wrote one called City Girl too a few years back.
Good stuff.

Man I can't get enough of your vocals! So expressive.
"I’m running the street
In worn out shoes
I’m wearing out feet
I got nothing to lose"
Nice!
Sounds great, Bob, I'm a fan.

Well, talk about engaging songs... Right after the "Easy now" I was singing along with you as if I knew the song all my life. Really catchy hook and melody. Great choice of band and style, and the perfect production, Bob. Great morning lift.

They always say the greats have an identifiable tone. You so do. Your song writing and production obviously well crafted; but it wouldn't this song without your voice. VERY cool!

Bob, outstanding vocal and lyrics! Loved it. Super choice in instrumentation and mix also.
IMHO this is your best to date.

Another great one, Bob. Like others have said, your songs have an instantly recognisable sound which really appeals to me. And I'm always a sucker for songs of longing and regret.
Regards,
Leon

Nice construction and arrangement.
Your very distinctive vocal style holds court as always.
Still, a little de-essing wouldn't go astray.
Cheers

"I’m dazed and bruised In a world of hurt I’m looking for truth I'm on high alert" Most memorable. You and Lucinda need to hook up for a live stream. We'd pay! Even sans baritone guitar we loved the band  Great, as Janice said, "gritty and soulful" vocal. Excellent! J&B

User Tip: How to add drum fills without changing any other tracks
MarioD has shared some great advice when it comes to adding drum fills without changing any other tracks in your song:
There have been a number of questions asking how to add drum fills without changing any other tracks in a song. This is especially important if one is holding a chord for a few measures and wants to add a drum fill prior to the next chord. The following is how to accomplish that:
1-get the instruments/tracks to play like you want but don't worry about the drums for now.
2-generate the song.
3-freeze all tracks
4-unfreeze the drum track
5-add your fills where you want them
6-generated the song again - note this will only generate the drum track and not the frozen tracks
7- when you get the drums like you want them freeze the track
