Fresh Country - feat. jamesg1213 & String Jammer

And who doesn't want a slice of fresh country?
 
We hired out a online session singer (Gregg) since Beagle was swamped and Bapu couldn't quite get it going on for this tune.

Lyrics:
V1.
That Jazz goes down like Tupelo Honey
I’m here to tell you it leaves me cold
Hot Buttered Soul won't get my money
 
C1.
Gonna get a slice of Fresh Country
Bring it on home for me and you
There’s nothing like a plate of Fresh Country
Yeah girl that’s what'll see us through
 
V2. 
Don't top off my toast with the Blues
Looking for something with a little more bite
Humble Pie's not the meal I choose
 
C2.
Gonna get a slice of Fresh Country
Bring it on home for me and you
There’s nothing like a plate of Fresh Country
Yeah girl that’s what we’re gonna do
 
V3.
Swamp Rock over okra’s too dicey
A dessert of R&B simply won't do
And Flamenco is just a too spicy
 
C3.
Gonna get a slice of Fresh Country
Bring it on home for me and you
There’s nothing like a plate of Fresh Country
Yeah girl that’s what'll see us through
 
C4.
Grab a big old hunk of Fresh Country
Bring it on home for me and you
Get us some of that old Fresh Country
Yeah girl that’s what we’re gonna do
 

Thanks for inviting me on this one Ed, lots of fun!  Very cool fiddlin' Scotty...

Sounds great, guys.  Terrific performances all around.

Very cool. I really like your voice on this one James.

Ah...  "Forever and a Day" was the name of the next song. 

That, good sir was not our song. Soundclug plays random songs unless you are on the artist's page (which the OP link did not direct you to).

Ha. That was one of mine. A mate's song recorded at my studio.

If you ever get another one like this in this key, I'd love to give the vocals a shot. I'm not sayin I could do better but I would be free.  LOL!  It's a kicker!  Gregg did a nice job.  Your instruments were really great.  It's a hot tune! 

Wow, I really like this! Kickin' the sh*t!
Sweet fiddle and really nice arrangement, great performances all around.
Great job guys!

Good job.... not exactly what I call country but I guess in today's world, just about anything can be called country if it has a fiddle played by Scotty .... and nice licks all the way around.  It has a kind of Little Feat kind-of groove to me. Not quite country but not quite rock.
 
I thought the vocal melody was a bit boring. It kinda stayed on one note for 3 lines in the verses and the chorus.   A little more variety would have been nice.
 
Yup... Forever and a Day played while I was writing the commentary... that's a nice song.

Good job fellas!! Some very good musicianship here.....enjoyed that fiddlin' x2.
Well done all!!

Great job guys, I love this country rocker!  Great fiddling and love those leads James.  Great job all around, sounded fantastic on my system.

i saw fiddle, and thought, wonder what Scott is doing these days...and lo and behold... and James nice to see you getting a bit more of a raunch on your solos after all that polite folk stuff!
now to the main platter - lovely playing guys, vocals are very good.. nice acoustic guitars and bass is, well, Ed-like.

Pretty tight mix. I thought Little Feat as well! For a crit, I think the rhythm seemed tighter in the second half. Something about the fiddle coming in just a tad early, particularly in the intro. It seems better and tighter as the song goes on.
 
anyway nice work, y'all come back now, y'here?

Good stuff.
 
Fiddle and guitar leads were terrific.
 
I did have problems feeling a groove with that part that starts the song and gets repeated a few times.
 

Thanks everybody! I had a great time jamming along with the boyz on this tune.
I agree with what you guys are saying about the intro getting into the groove. The drum pattern was off the first time around but came into it the second time around. Overall I thinks it's a cool song and I'm thankful for being invited along for the ride.
