floyd and Michael, Cool intro, superb mix, expert vocal ( I like the delay) make this a great listen. The lead guitar was buried a bit. Drums sound great. A solid, fun rocker. Tom

I think our monitors are OK. We had to pick them up off the floor. This puppy rocks! Your ability to produce killer productions in multiple genres seems to know no end. This is a great example of how a seemingly pegged in your face production can also, counterintuitively, breath. This must have been an interesting mixing exercise.
You vocally move seamlessly from country ballads to rock and it works. That's a real gift and makes, we're sure, for a lot of fun. This cool write and production makes for a lot of fun for us also!

Floyd,
Inspired intro ( well, what else could you do with a very original title like that!) and it sounds like you really had fun with the vocal on this - energy comes powering through.
I too like this rocking side of you!

Floyd,
An amazing professional sound all round - sounds superb.
Great song - clever use of the cuckoo loop and a killer vocal.
Brilliant.

Floyd, My friend told me to tell you that you are cuckoo, but his kind of cuckoo.  Happy New Year! Oh, great song bro!!! Clever!! Hey! It takes one to know one. Crazies make the best music. What a power sound! And how do you get your mixes this loud without clipping?
Love the cuckoo sound, when I first saw the title I didn't know what to think about it, until I listened ;-)
you and Michael did a very nice job. A great rocker all around.
Rob Thanks! I generally mix as loud as works. I don't believe in that -12 dB thing - at all!!! As long as it isn't distorting... and, heck... it's Rock'n'Roll. Often, it's the snare that is the thing that sends the meters into the red. I don't worry about that - it's a snare, after all... if you take that out and everything else is under, then you are okay - throw that hot drum back in!

Hi, Floyd !:))
This must be one of the
most original rock tunes I´ve
ever heard and at the same time
it is one of your absolute best
if not even the best rocker !
Those lyrics too, could not
help laughin´my belly out
thinkin´on that poor bird that
is completely innocent and can´t help
jumpin´out when the machinery
requires it to do do !!!
LOL
Cheers
Dani

What a great unusual twist for a song!! Really fun rocker! The sound is awesome-sounds like a 70's rock band in a midnight studio with everything turned to eleven!! I don't think I've heard this level of "liveness" with just RTs. I know I can't get there. Vocal (performance and processing) is stellar. Awesome job on this one!! Take care. Happy New Year! Greg Greg - I always look forward to your reviews! Appreciate it. Good song.
Shotguns work really well on all sorts of birds. Thanks, Herb. Really nice one, Floyd. Love the lyrics. Lots of power in this one. Looking forward to more from you in 2017.
Have fun, stay safe,
Bob Thanks, Bob.

Love this rocker!
Great mix, love the energy and drive,
Super vocals, strong performance.
Happy New Year!
Kenny Thanks, Kenny. I'm glad you are back! Love the way you got that cuckoo clock intertwined with the rhythm. Terrific arrangement.
Clever write. Different and fun.
I always enjoy your rock side - love the vocal and harmonies.
Really great sounding high energy rocker.
Happy new year! Thanks, Josie! Actually getting the cuckoo sound intertwined took some doing... turns out you have to tune it to fit in with the key of the song and stretch it to fit the tempo...

Happy new year, floyd
Very uplifting and rocking song.
Love the cuckoo effect.
Great vocal and chorus.
It's awesome how you get your mixes this loud without clipping.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi Shigeki Adachi - I'm glad you enjoyed this. Thanks Love that tune, right up my alley, fantastic................
Steve Thanks, Steve - always nice to see you drop by... floyd and Michael, Cool intro, superb mix, expert vocal ( I like the delay) make this a great listen. The lead guitar was buried a bit. Drums sound great. A solid, fun rocker. Tom Thanks, Tom. Yeah, I agree that the lead is a bit low... I got so wrapped up in all the other parts - the cuckoo sample, the drums, the vocal processing - that my ears got used to the level it was at. Mental note..

J&B What a nice review! If I can get such a reaction from you - the man with the perfect live band mixes - how could I not be pleased?... not sure about that "vocally move seamlessly".. HA!.. this is HARD for me! Thanks!!! Floyd,

What a production!!! Stellar on every level. A full production similar to my take away from 'Diamonds' from a few years ago.
You seem as comfortable with this style as you do with ballads. Great dynamic vocals.
Enjoyed this one a lot. I've got a great image in my head of Janice and Bud jumping around trying to catch the falling monitors...

Everything that I wanted to say has already been said so all that I can add is this is another winner from Floyd and company.
This is a keeper.
Unclear if the pianist is a total beginner or a professional jazz player?
