Tom...now that's "boot kickin" country....super track...I like when you stretch out your vocals in the the upper range...pro sounding all the way especially your electric work...would not have been surprised to hear this on a country radio station...not sure much good comes out of Illinois these days or inspires songs but Carbondale and SIU are south enough to do that I suppose! Thanks for the great review! Carbondale always seemed to me more like Kentucky or Tennessee than Illinois. Tom

Hi, Tom. The punchy mix got my attention right away, and the song didn't let up. Catchy chorus, great vocal, hooky guitar riffs... plus a cool story. That's good stuff!

Great sounding band & arrangement.
Excellent metaphore too.
You do know I'm going to mention sibilance too!
COOL.
Cheers

Tommy.
I like the simple lyrics. Ones you can fit to many situations.
Guitar work, vocal and mix are great. Pro stuff.
Vic Thank you Vic. I appreciate it, Tom Howdy Tommy....
This is good cut.
Good lyrics and fine axe playing.
I'll echo all other comments.
Well done....
Back to it.... Thanks. Glad you liked it, Tom

Hi Tom ...
Did you graduate from SIU? As I think you know, I'm originally from St. Louis, not far away from Carbondale (been there numerous times). Home of the Salukis!
Great song, Tom! For my ears, had Waylon's style written all over it. Lots of truth in the lyric - some things should simply be left to die in peace. Loved the crunch in the guitars. And the extended drums at the end were perfect!
You give country music a good name! Keep up the good work!
Alan

Oh, yeah - good song! All the way around. And it definitely has your signature sound - right from the first beat. I really liked the whole thing, but the last line of that first verse and the entire second verse are just killer. A very relatable song, We've all been there. This is yet another example of why I like your guitar picking so well. It's got a really good lead that fits the song well, but you are a master at coming up with a great signature riff that carries an entire song along. Great tone and clever ending too. Great all around Tom!
Brad Brad, thanks for the wonderful review. It means a lot to me,Tom

Tommy, This is one of the absolute best and most radio-ready country songs I have ever heard on here. Outstanding. LOVE it. Going to copy those tracks and make a style right now, as I often do with your songs. I have a Tommy Adams styles folder I made. Keep 'em coming, and I'll keep typing. It's a good deal for me man.  Thanks for stopping by David, Tom Tom,
Your tracks always have such a big awesome sound that really let the guitars have their proper place in the mix! Man I love the whole production of this one! Your vocals sound really great and are perfect for this type of tune! The realtracks you chose couldn't be any better for this and they sit in the mix right where they should IMO! Great solo at around 2:00! Great ending!
Take care, T Coming from you Torrey it means a lot, Tom

Loved the crunchy guitar.
Nice pro feel throughout, excellent vocal and harmonies.
A great sound, top quality mix, a catchy chorus and nice melodic solo.
Excellent.
Peter Thanks Peter! Oh wow!!! Oh my word :-) Gave me (for one) a schooling, right here, on what it is to write a top-notch song. Bravo, sir. Hats off to you. If this came on, on the radio or TV, I wouldn't bat an eyelid - it belongs right there, at the top. Phew :-) James, Thank you for the very generous review! That really made me happy, Tom

Yowzers! Man, have you listened to Brothers Osborne? (not the Osborne Brothers ) We love this and it nails their vibe and even your vocals are similar in tone and phrasing. Pitch it to them! You wrote a great backstory to set up the song story. Sounds like a well honed gigging band and your guitar is perfecto. We've said it a hundred times and by golly here it is again. Your productions are pro level and set a high bar for many including us to only dream of. Outstanding all the way around Tom! J&B

What a great song, Tom! Good grove, catchy. Especially love those second verse lyrics!!
p.s. FJ told me you had taken a break/trip. Apparently you found good song material along the way:)

Tommy, you have produced some fantastic music but this one is the absolute best IMHO. "Some things they oughta stay buried Way down in the dirt If you go digging around there Somebody’s gonna get hurt" I can relate  This should be played on every contemporary country station right now. Everything is pro level on this one. Loved it. Thanks Mario,Tom Hi Tom,
Excellent song and well sung also.
(that's 5 good new songs in one day on this forum - surely a record!).
Best Regards
Nigel
Nigel, I’m glad you liked it,Tom

Hi Tom,
Man, you always seem to have a knack for coming up with killer riffs for your songs, and this song is a good example, great hook!
Good story, delivered well. Love the solo!
Excellent, listened a few times. Thanks Dave. I appreciate all that especially coming from a great player like you,Tom

I knew in the first 10 seconds that this was going to be a killer tune. I wasn't wrong.
Nice one!

That's a very, very good song, Tom!
I love everything of it; the guitar, the rhythm, the percussion, vocals, lyrics... well everything. This is how Country Rock must sound, I think.
Like David wrote, this is really a radio ready song, must become a hit. I'm sure!
I've played it several times now, great song and that outro, great!

(yet I'm curious what bad things happened then)

Cool lyric Tom. Boy when I go back to my home town. I hardly recognize it anymore. Super vocal and excellent backtrack. Guitars were excellent as well.
