Hi All, Here's something called The Main Line. The sky was coming down All around the stars Footprints in the night Lighting up the dark Like a path or a tunnel through the haze Like an axe coming down to split the days She’s a vision up against the fading light She’s a ghost in a line of crooked sight And she don’t pay no mind And she don’t pay no mind Moving in and out of time Baby’s on the main line It could have been Detroit Or a condo by the sea In the middle of the night In Kansas City Like a jet or a rocket to the sun Like a war that never will be won I’m on a mission to unwind the crime I’m a shape shifter running out of time And she don’t pay no mind And she don’t pay no mind Moving in and out of time Baby’s on the main line I’m on a mission to unwind the crime I’m a shape shifter running out of time And she don’t pay no mind And she don’t pay no mind Moving in and out of time Baby’s on the main line Baby’s on the main line Baby’s on the main line Baby’s on the main line Baby’s on the main line All BIAB Tracks: 366: Electric, Bass, Country Ev 065 365: Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Ev 085 2916: Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm CountryFolk8thBrent Ev 085 2906: Piano, ElectricVintage, Rhythm BluesyPopMike Ev 100 2446: Guitar, Baritone Electric, Background Ev 065 Loop: Pop-Soul-RnB-Chill_100_Strings_Legato RealDrums: NashvilleEven8 a:sidestick b:snare, HiHat As always - thanks for listening!

Nice country listen Bob, great job!

Hey there Bob, I sure liked the way you got the acoustic rhythm and lead guitar to work together. I thought it really made a cool sound working together like that.

Bob,
First verse is a killer. A well composed and sung tune. Mix is very clear, easy listen.
Thank you for sharing.
Misha.

What a good band choice. Very cool baritone and the way you used it is just prefect, Bob. "a shape shifter running out of time." ALL of your lyrics are so engaging. Love the easy feel of this Main Line. Excellent vocal in your entertaining and unique style. One thing we know is that your song talent never goes in and out of time. Always present.

Bob,
Nobody in the forum does these folk/rock type tunes like you! I always enjoy your work and appreciate your lyric writing! You've got a great sound going on here in this one!
Thanks, Torrey

I like the song and the arrangement. The drums/bass combination you've used works very good.
Your voice always reminds me a bit of the Waterboys, I like that.

Yes, Another Bob Dean Classic!! Love it! Great lyrics man. Hey in the sound cloud lyrics I think you want to fix it to say "split" and not "spilt" with the axe... or not...

Hi Bob,
I have been hoping you would bring back the baritone again, such a great sound and really fits your music I think.
Great lyrics, I love:
"I’m on a mission to unwind the crime
I’m a shape shifter running out of time"
Nice!
Great song, one of your best.

Another good tune, Bob.
Another terrific use of BIAB.
You always make it sound like "Bob Dean's Band".
Excellent use of the baritone.
Good vocal.
Good mix.
As usual.

Like I said in my SoundCloud comment "Springsteen style poetic lyrics".
Very nice! I also liked the spaghetti western guitar.

We LOVE this! Janice said she started to quote some lines and realized she wanted to quote the entire lyric so… The meter of your lyrics flows so well it is hard not to keep rereading them aloud. Once again your band (and that baritone guitar!) are the ideal accompaniment to your distinct vocals and the entire package keeps us mesmerized. Wonderful Americana! J&B
