Marty,
Great stuff! Arrangement & vocals sit in place to my ears. I thought it was done very well. I listened to a couple of your other songs as well, a random choice, and they were all good! You should share more of your tunes with us smile Enjoyed this! Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

I dig your vocal, works well for blues. And nice job on the bass also, I assume that is you playing?

Good stuff, looking forward to hearing more.


Hey Dave!

Know what you mean about a matchbox holding my clothes at a quarter to three. Yes, I did the bass. Thanks. Let's jam!!


Sure, I'm game. Give me a shout!

Love the rhyming, like Dave said, blues can often sound pretty vanilla. But this was told with a flair for words.

I'd be happy to listen to more like this anytime.

Marty,

Really nice mix on this—real clean and engaging. The guitar solo is very slick, and the lyrics and vocal keep the listener listening, which is what any good song should do. This one is no exception. Like others, I didn’t notice an issues with the Ss. Well done!

Regards,

Deej

Thanks, Bob! I'll post a tune soon where the lyrics are pretty much just the titles of blues songs.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Thanks, Deej. It seems I usually spend more time on the solos than anything else --except the mix, of course.

Nice writing...
I especially liked your play on words...
There's 12 bars out my window ---
and 12 on them, too.
I think of Sue, and drink to stew,
behind those 12 bars.


Very creative...
I enjoyed the listen!

Marty, I love the blues so, well let me put it this way, if I had heard this in a record/CD store I would have immediately bought it!

This is some excellent kick @ss blues man! Great vocal! Super chops. Excellent mix.

You should do more like this.

Great song! Nice vocal performance.

I'm a lyric man, and really enjoyed these. "When I miss you, I drink the stew inside these 12 bars... blue." What a gem!

Thanks, Jim. Creativity is a stream with many tributaries, and sometimes one runs through us. I can honestly say I don't know what I'm doing when it happens. But that way I can hear it later and say things like, "Oh, that's cool. I didn't realize that when I (wrote or played) it."

Thanks again for your kind words, Jim.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Thanks, and I can tell that from your name, Ezekiel's Storm. I would've answered earlier, but I've been busy on your SoundCloud channel. Then I went to CDBaby to download Ghosts That Never Lived. You've made my day in many ways. Thanks.

Hi BabuMusic,

sorry, can't hold this one back: You don't need a de-esser, 'bause this one kicks S by itself !

I like the Blues so much that I can even enjoy a mediocre one. So imagine how much I enjoyed this one that contains most of what I like: good humorous lyrics, a solid backing track and truely great vocals. Loved this a LOOOOOOOOT.

And BTW: You made future writing so much easier for me: If a native American (what I guess you are) can rhyme memory with Henry - there won't be any rhyming bounds for me anymore ;-)))

Really great stuff !!!

All the best

Stefan

Wow, Stefan. Thanks. You already know how much I enjoy your work --well, it can't be work 'cause it looks so much fun. Haha on the rhyming. All you gotta do is change memory to mem'ry and voilà. Thanks again, man.


Enjoy whatever happens!
