I'd written this last year after hurricane Harvey. I sent it to Janice and Bud
because I thought Janice could do a killer vocal on it(as she does on everything)
They had a hurricane song in the works already (Maria Blues) so I set this on the
shelf. Later I put more vocals and my guitar part on but the tracks were all pulled
over into my DAW onto one track for a quick demo so there's no real mixing on this.
I kind of re-discovered it and decided that it should see the light of day, warts and all.
Thanks for the listen and comments.

Stronger Than A Hurricane
© 2017 Kenny Leverett
It’s been a long time
Waiting for the sun to shine
Shine again
Feels like a new day comin’
Waiting just around the bend
Like all my lonely
Lonely days are gone
So glad we made it thru
We can make it thru any storm
And it’s a kiss
Sweeter than sugarcane
We got love baby
Stronger than a hurricane
Ooh
Stronger than a hurricane
We were laying low
Dug in tight and good
With a cold hard wind
Tearing thru the neighborhood
You get knocked down
You come right back up again
For a new day comin’
Waiting just around the bend
And it’s a kiss
Sweeter than sugarcane
Sugarcane
We got love baby
Stronger than a hurricane
And it’s a kiss
Sweeter than sugarcane
Sugarcane
We got love baby
Stronger than a hurricane
Ooh
Stronger than a hurricane
dedicated to the resilience of the people in Texas

Yeah, great groove!
Man, your vocals get me every time! Wish I could sing like that. Nice hearing you play some guitar in there too.
Good song, it definitely deserved to be born and would be worth spending some time on the mix too I think.

Kenny,
A cool Rock song. Killer vocal.
A "classic" sounding chorus that makes it immediately memorable.
For a "quick demo so there's no real mixing" this sounds pretty dang good!
A raw energy with an excellent "live" feel. Nice guitar work, too...
Enjoyed it. Immensely.

Kenny,
great tune!
Lots of good vibe with classic rock feel. So far, this is my favorite of yours. What else you got on those shelves?!
Best regards,
Misha.

The quality of this does make me wonder just how grand a real mix would be.

fj I think Floyd hit it square on the head - but doesn't he always?! I agree, in particular, with the "live feel" part of his comment. Your vocals are always to die for. Pretty danged cool! Merry Christmas. Alan

Kenny,
Love the rough & ready feel you`ve got going here.
Killer chorus ( who could resist those ooh hoos!).
With a vocal as strong as any you`ve done I`d say this begs for a revisit... as long as you don`t lose the energy that comes through on this demo.
Robert

Thanks, I think that I really like the raw energy feel and would be afraid that if I re-recorded that it might clean up too much. thanks for the kind words, would love to have you play guitar on something in the future

I really love the rough raw vigor you've put into little tune...
Often it seems to me the liveliness of a quick demo sounds better to my ears than a slicked down full blown production...
Great job on this one!

Kenny, this certainly deserves to see "the light of day"! I think this is one of my favorites from you! Your vocal just sits perfectly in the mix and sounds "just right"! That guitar work is perfect for the tune! Some great jam here! Thanks, Torrey

Great groove, my head started nodding from the first bars  Has very nice rocking 60's feel, some early Beatles and some late Beatles and some raw sound of the Rolling Stones too. Janne

I've got an old song, first one Chris and I did together actually, that badly needs a better mix but whenever I mess with it it loses the feel. Sure, I would be happy to do a guitar track for you sometime.

I love this and would not change a thing... Love the energy and "live" feel. Tremendous vocal workout - you have a great sound.

"And it’s a kiss
Sweeter than sugarcane
We got love baby
Stronger than a hurricane
Ooh
Stronger than a hurricane"
Man, does that ever stick with you.
It's so weird at times how something in a song can suddenly take you to another place. The first couple words here took me immediate to Long Time Coming with Crosby's voice.
Dunno why but it was a good memory!
Demo? Whatever...like Bob said the energy and live groove are powerful.
We said it...everybody has said it. Your voice is a wonderful instrument. Instantly recognizable in a great way. It and the guitar performance just drive this thing.
Over the top cool listen!
J&B

+1 on what Dave said. What a cool groove on this song. Listened on the head phones. There are some very cool things going on in the background. Would love to see this song done live.. Super vocal Kenny and the guitar was excellent..
