Hi Greg and Tommy,
very nice arrangement and cool vocals.
A very enjoyable laid back song.
Guenter Guenter, Thanks a lot for the nice comments. Tom I knew that I was gonna like this with you two guys working together on it...and it's great. I can hear the accordion, sounds cool, Tom's guitar accents, awesome, light skinned, fair haired dudes, whatever, running down to Mexico. Solid write and performance, sounds like a hit song.
Kenny Kenny, Thanks for listening and commenting. We appreciate it. Tom Really nice song. Great write, production and performance. This was a good collaboration. Hope you guys do some more together. Charlie, Thanks, glad you liked it. Tom

Tom and Greg,
Fantastic! My very first thought was "How on earth does Tom manage to get such a full and vibrant production sound to his mixes? This is brilliant!" And then the song came along.... excellent writing and performing.
"Leave the northern nightmare for the southern sun" - what a great line. To appreciate how well it works, it's worthwhile giving it a southern hemisphere flavour. Down here, we'd say "Leave the southern nightmare for the northern sun".... when the alliteration is split up, the line looses a lot of ooomph (to my ears, anyway)!
Enjoyed it a lot.
Noel

Very nice work guys!
Like that Accordion and additional electric guitar.
Rob Rob, Thanks for checking in on this one. We appreciate it. Tom Another great one y'all. Pure pleasure. Great lyrics and production. A good listen all the way through. Not a darned thing to criticize. David, Glad you liked it! Tom What a terrific song! You guys put it together in a very professional way. I like everything about it. Very good listen.
Sonny Sonny, Thanks for the positive comments. Tom I am a a Japanese and I am not so familiar with US country songs, but I can say I like this song.
Hiroshi Hiroshi, Maybe we can get Country Music to grow on you. Thanks, Tom Wow, you guys, just how great is that!
Sensational lyrics. I really liked the chord structure around the chorus. This gave the song its own hook.
This collaboration has to be seen as a real winner.
Missed Greg's vocals, 'cause they're always good, but Tommy, you nailed it instead.
Trev
Trev, Thanks for the very kind review and your ongoing support for us both. Tom

Two of my favorite writers together! Nice.
Has the perfect relaxed, south-of-the-border feel.
"They’ll know me there as the guero
Underneath the big sombrero
Nice and slow
I'll take Mexico"
...makes me want to go on vacation.
Nice guitar accents. As ROG said, the bridge dropout is super.
Good mix (of course).
Easy and smooth. Nice and slow...

We enjoyed your review. Thanks, Tom Wow guys! I was just thinking today that it would be great to win the lottery and head down to mexico! and here is a song about doing that very thing.
Great song. Great production. lots of cool things going on with a great mix.
Reminds me of Jimmy Buffet type of feel. Or the Chris Isaak baja sessions.
Awesome ! Jeff, Thanks for the nice words. I decided if i won the lottery I'd disappear so far into Mexico that even Sean Penn couldn't find me. Tom "They’ll know me there as the guero
Underneath the big sombrero
Nice and slow I'll take Mexico"
Like mr jane said...makes us want to
head for the border (it is still open
isn't it?)
It appears that Greg has brought out
the CA side of Tom. That Tom genre
jewel has a lot of facets for sure!
We both enjoyed this mashup of two
of our fav forum artists. Great write,
vocal, guitar and production. But with you two
how could we expect anything less?
Forum fun!
J&B
Love the review! The border isn't just open ,it's wide open. Nice use of the word facet. Yeah I may steal that. Thanks, Tom You guys done did good on this one. Enjoyed it.
Regards,
Bob Bob, Thanks! Cali is a long way from fl geographically but not musically. Tom

I love this!
It's catchy, there's a oh-so-cool hook in that elegant chorus. I knew it was going to be good, coming from you two songsters.
And you know it's top-shelf when you just get lost in the song as I did. Way to go.
Take a bow, fellas!

I am late to the party but I am sure glad that I came! Everything that I wanted to say has been already said.
This is a super collaboration with a perfect mix, super vocals, great backing tracks, great lyrics all put together in a smooth, toe taping song.
Loved it!
Unclear if the pianist is a total beginner or a professional jazz player?
64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

Meant to comment sooner and thank everyone for the nice feedback! When I first joined the forum, I remember being pretty blown away by Tommyad, the blues man. Over time, I realized he's not just a blues man. He can do it all (rock, country, folk) and do it all well. I personally love the character in his voice. I sent him a work in progress which he edited, restructured, cleaned up, and arranged it into a gem. He is an incredibly cool and talented guy, and I'm thrilled to have made it on to his website. Thanks Tom!! Take care. Greg
