Hello Floyd ...
Finally have a few minutes to listen and leave a few brief comments.
You never disappoint. Loved that break from 2:03 2:14. I particularly liked the drive oif the drums and bass. Excellent in every way! Why isn't your name a household word ... well, two words! Best to you ...

FJ,
To me, this makes the upper strata of the tunes I heard by you. Liked the spoken word verses and word bending. Musically strong, energetic, nothing to add but compliments! Very nice work! Thank you for sharing.
Misha.

Loved this Floyd. Super vocal lyric. Backtrack was perfect. Loved your mix and production Thanks, Scott. I appreciate that... Well now!
That's some damn good work.
Great production from top to bottom.
Something about dangerous women, ain't there.
I've got one on that subject I'll post some day.
Thanks, Captain....

Starting the year off with a bang. Nice work on this song..... good writing.... and your choice of guitars is spot on. Kinda sounded like a banjo but I didn't see one in the list of credits.....
I like it a lot.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Floyd, your use of the realtracks in this tune are the best I can remember listening to since I've been around here! You must have spent a tremendous amount of time sorting these out! I can't hear ANYTHING that sounds "off" in any way! It's such a clean production and everything falls into place perfectly! If PG Music doesn't use this as a promo tool for their product, they are really missing a great opportunity as far as I'm concerned! Thanks, Torrey Torrey - I certainly appreciate that fine review... Thanks!

Wow! This is as good as it gets! My new favorite of yours (and that's saying a lot!)
Great use of RT's and loops. Your vocals are as good as ever. Particularly like your bgv's. Very well done!
Great write!
Steve
Thanks, Steve. Coming from you that certainly brings a satisfied smile...

Well, we try to resist comparos but what the heck...
Brothers Osborne. That.
And thanks again for making us aware of them.
You could slide this tune in on any popular Americana or modern country streaming playlist and it would make a perfect fit. Actually a top of the heap fit.
Janice rarely uses the word but she said CATCHY and that it made her want to dance.
That is one dangerous gal and your imagery is like watching a movie!
Killer vocal and a stunning mix soundstage to present it all.
And a superb melding of RT's and loops...seamless to the max.
Yeah!
J&B

Love the intro - it set up the song and hooks me right away. Super fun listen - well sung, interesting instrument parts, catchy rhymes, cool harmony. Sounds a bit like an extended theme song for television show. Man, you've got a hot band there! (And the singer's not bad either  ). Thanks for the nice comments, David.....

Hi Floyd, As a big fan of guys like CCR, Tony Joe White, Redbone and many others, this hit me right between the pick-ups. I loved it. And I love it when I play a song that has me turning the volume up to 10 right away. Your vocal slides over the lyrics like molasses on a hot day, every nuance perfectly fits each line. And the production is awesome. Great job. Keep 'em coming Swamp Thing! All the best Martin Martin - thanks for the nice review... Up there with your best, Floyd.
Band members really did justice to your delivery.
Lyrics are top class. Trev - always please to see you drop by. Thanks!!

Hi Floyd,
I thought the whiskey-songs were your latest, but then (by accident) I ran into this newest of yours.
I was listening to another song on SoundCloud and right after that your song came. I had to listen! Very powerful. That was the word that came up, when hearing your song. Other words to describe your son are cool and relaxing. I picture myself drinking a whiskey in some old tavern, on my own, sad (and all that) and then this song starts playing! Makes me ordering another whiskey.
Very well done, Floyd!
Hans

Hi floyd,
Now *this* is my type of country, something with a little attitude! Sort of a Steve Earle vibe happening.
Great intro! And those drums! Love the kick, snare too; great groove and sitting in the mix loud and proud.
Nice job mixing the guitars, the way you have them panned sounds fabulous through the phones; a little conversation happening there between them.
Good idea using two different bass realtracks! It's never crossed my mind to do that, but it works a treat to give the chorus a distinct feel.
And of course love your vocal and writing:
"she'll take you down so deep
you'll never make it back
word is the devil tried
and even that boy cracked
the girl is dangerous"
Nice!
Great start to 2020!
Dave - thanks for the great review. I've gotten my share of "aha moments" from your productions, as well... so thanks for that, too...

What a tune - love the vocals on this. Perfectly written, and delightfully catchy. Top notch work on the mixing job too. I wouldn't bat an eyelash if I heard this on the radio.
Thanks for sharing! Thanks, Deryk!! Holy cow, Floyd! To paraphrase the late George Jones, "We heard there was a fast train, coming out of Florida." Thanks, Ed...

Floyd,
An amazingly tight band on a cool edgy song that`s still so darn catchy.
The use of loops and editing nuance is nothing short of benchmark use of the software...
I`d love to see you make another video on your process ( heck, this is good enough PG Music might want to think about a contractual arrangement for sharing the wisdom!).
Loved it.
Robert Robert - thanks for the nice review. (because I don't have the "right" setup for making videos, it is a VERY time consuming process. And as long that remains the case - which is likely - I doubt I will do another. I think my wife - who filmed the previous one on her iphone would agree... ) I guess we have all met one ... Superb production, vocals, & lyrics... Your tunes are always superb... But I really enjoyed this one! ★★★★★Thanks, Jim! I'd never guess these were RTs and loops, amazing! Some sins can't be atoned, great line. Sounds like a hit song to me, once you add those superb vocals. Running out of superlatives over here. TM - I appreciate that, of course...

Love that swamp thing. I think I came up with leeches when it ended. John Deere hats off to the band and arrangement. Way to bring that warning to others back to the reason you can speak with so much authority. GREAT lyric. Not a wasted syllable spelling out the dangers of the woman and delivered with your impeccable and natural phrasing, with some help from "pushes", I think, in the band. Outstanding.

An FJ classic.
You've wrangled the loops & RTs superbly.
What stands out, for me, is the vocal recording.
It sounds pristine but I'm sure you've done some work on the tracks.
Any tricks n tips re vocal tracking & treatment you'd care to offer the world?
Thanks, ray!! The vocal is a pretty standard treatment for me these days. Recorded using an AT4033a microphone (had it for 25 years) through a Focusrite Scarlett directly into Studio One. I drop a Nectar preset on it (Country - Big Booty). There is a big low end bump in the EQ for that preset that I pull down a bunch. And I turn on the delay (it is not included in the preset). The harmonies use the same preset. Again with the low EQ bump pulled down and the delay turned on. I also turn on the doubler for those. That is pretty much all I do...
