I like this as it is and IMHO "it don't need no stinking vocals"!
Its an excellent instrumental!

Very nice blues here with lots of instrumentation that all fits well together.

Keep up the excellent work.


Yeah, I've got O.C.D, Old, Cranky, and Dangerous.

I agree with others about a vocal track...
There's a lot of talented songwriters & musicians around here...
Ever thought about adding a line to your post...
"Any songwriting, lyrics, & vocal collaborations would be greatly appreciated"...


Jim,
Thanks for having a listen and taking the time to comment
Glad you enjoyed the track.
At the moment I'm trying to write a lyric for the song.
If that doesn't work out, I might try your collaboration suggestion.
Cheers,
Mike

Keep up the good work Mike!



Thanks for listening and commenting Steve.
I auditioned so many instruments/synths for the melody before settling on the Kontakt Hammond so I'm a bit sad it is problematic (though I accept your and Ray's criticism).
Do you think it would work just turning the Leslie effect off?
Cheers, and thanks again.

Thanks for your kind words Torrey.
As always I appreciate your input.

Thanks for listening Peter. I toyed with making it a bit shorter but couldn't quite decide where to cut.

Ah Mario, you're a lifesaver. I've been drowning this week REALLY trying to write some lyrics for this instrumental and now I hear "it don't need no stinking vocals".
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Looks like I missed this the first time around.

BiaB is especially good at the blue, and the arrangement kept things interesting.

I enjoyed the song. smile

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
