All around first rate. Good think you are such a good player to rise to the level of that song. I happen to know a couple of Montana outfitters, Elk and some big game. Let's just say you're not going to see them at the county HHR.

Man what a song. I like how it starts kinda light and then jumps out at you. Great lyrics, and the music was absolutely superb, especially the lead guitar.

Telling a story many of us can empathise with, in a warm, matter-of-fact, yet somehow reflective manner. The harmonies are fabulous. This should be on the radio. Bravo.
M17, I really enjoyed your review. Thanks,Tom

Tom, I really like this reflective side of your music; there`s a nice arc to the write, with lived wisdom expressed in fine details... and the summing up on the chorus is darn catchy as well. I enjoyed everything about this!

"Life got in the way" great title, I think I have heard that several times. Never wished of being a cowboy or a anything related to fishing, but surely a million things. The story told very well and good interpretation. Nice gentle intro and enjoyable drum lift to the chorus part. Nice use of acoustic guitars. Excellent sounding mix.

Hey Tom, I'm gonna give you 2 "reallys". This is really, really good man. This is better than anything I heard on the Nashville Bash the other night. Lyrics, guitar work, band, mix . . . all top shelf!
https://soundcloud.com/user-646279677BiaB 2024 Windows For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

Tommy,
Killer track in all respects: the write, the performance, the production. Great hook on the chorus opening—and the chorus in total is outstanding. Perfect guitar solo. This is some mighty fine songwriting.
Deej D, thanks for the outstanding review, Tom

Another good one Tom. I really liked the writing in this. You've got the whole package here. Writing, musicianship, production - everything is top notch. The way you brought that lead guitar into the break was really good. Hit a topic that most everyone can relate to.
Brad Brad, thanks for giving it a spin. I appreciate your comments,Tom Sounds like that could have been a Michael Martin Murphy song.
Life is too short for excuses... reach out and go for it. You might not ever get that chance again. Good advice in that song.
Pristine mix. This is what happens after spending the summer out west. I have a roundabout connection to MMM. my friend and former bandmate Boomer Castleman was one half of the band Lewis and Clarke Expedition. Murphy’ s real name is Travis Lewis and Boomer used Clarke as a stage name. Boomer had some serious stories about the old days and could tell them for days. Sadly he’s gone now. Thanks for the comments and jogging my memory, Tom

Before the hook.
