New song....well, it's been a WIP for several months as I worked some things out..... This is best served loud. Whiskey Train The Band: B3 Organ 686 Everything else: H. Hartley : Bass, Drums, 4 guitar tracks. Just some basic stuff. The guitar on this is my Gibson SG through a new Quilter Amp.... very cool amp BTW. It's analog, with JMP, AC15, and Fender amps modeled, choice of open or closed back cabs, and Jensen, V-30 or CL-80 speakers. No FX, just some reverb like the real amps, and tone.... oh my... I'm in love. Lyrics Whiskey Train [Verse] Rusty tracks in a wasteland dark Midnight moon can't see too far Shattered dreams in a bottle's grip Had it all at my fingertips [Verse 2] Echoes howl where shadows creep Empty nights no chance to sleep Whiskey pours like tears on fire Burnin' down like a funeral pyre. [Chorus] On that whiskey train ridin' through the pain Haunted by those dreams I'll never see again Rollin slow with a tortured mind Broken hearts I've left behind [Verse 3] Gravel crunch beneath my boots Hidden past I can't refute Stained with sin from past life bends On a road that never ends [Verse 4] Ashes fall like haunted rain Carry weight of love disdained Hurts like hell but can't complain Ghosts like smoke on a whiskey train [Chorus] On that whiskey train ridin' through the pain Haunted by those dreams I'll never see again Rollin slow with a tortured mind Broken hearts I've left behind [Verse 3] Gravel crunch beneath my boots Hollow cries from tarnished roots Stained with sin from past life bends On a road that never ends [Chorus] Copyright Herb Hartley 2024 I've been accused of writing too many "girly love songs" .... so, this isn't that.....Pull out your bottle and have a drink. Feel free to comment and certainly... turn it up and enjoy.

WOW ... sounds like a classic Lynyrd Skynyrd song. Cool guitar tones, jams, and riffs. Works on every level, lyrics, vocals, production.

Bob Bob, glad you liked it.... it's certainly heavy on the guitars but like any good rock and roll song should be. Thanks

Herb, fabulous rear end kicking song and a sonic blast. More Herb-in-a-studio than BiaB, but the organ sounded nice. Super guitar tone for sure. Cool feedback outro, too. Nicely energetic vocals. MIGHT turn the reverb down on the vocals a bit, or turn up the predelay, as the verb is washing out your vocals a tiny bit. Great vocals can be heard, and should be. Loved your song!

Excellent! Thanks BA. I've been wanting to do a "guitar in your face" kind of tune for a while..... This was a good opportunity to do that and take the Quilter out for a shake down run. See what it could do. That vocal turned out better than what I was expecting..... the first few renditions were a bit rough. Then I dropped my MVT* plugin on the track and waaa laaa.... (MVT* Mediocre Vocal Talent)

It's been a long time since anyone said something I wrote sounded like Skinny Lynyrd. Thanks.... I have a couple more very similar to this.... up front guitars and all that stuff..... stay tuned....

Herb, rock at its absolute best.
One of the best rockers I have heard in a long time.
Super vocal and guitar!
IMHO your best to date.
When I was young I was poor. But after years of hard, honest, and painstaking work I am no longer young.

DC Ron Thanks Ron.... Yeah that's a lot of my tracks in there but I've been doing that a lot recently. This one had the B3 that worked really nicely. I'll look at the predelay on the reverb. Glad you loved the song. Herb,
The guitars sound good. Vocals, too.

Sounds kinda like Molly Hatchet. David.... Hatchet.... One of my favorite Southern Rockers. I saw them way back when they were first causing ripples in the music scene..... I appreciate the compliment.

Hi, Herb. Stopped by to give this a listen the other night, but didn't write to tell ya how much I like it. Listening again now, maybe it was cuz it took my words away leaving me breathless. Dang, that heavy guitar (as grandaughter Charley would say) slays, man. Hard pounding whiskey song, chugging along with fire.

Hey there Herb, I don't know what happened, or if it's just my system, but I couldn't get any sound. Maybe I was just laste for the party and missed out. I would have liked to hear it though. I read through your writing and you've got some really good lines in there; "Shattered dreams in a bottle's grip" and so on.

Brad Try listening on a different device. See if that works
