Kilter Off The Rails

I've noticed a few people asking for "more guitar" around here. So, I thought I might share another recently released tune with you all. This one is from my upcoming solo album release, hopefully around the middle of 2018. It's what I call an "off-kilter" rock song, with a bit of jazz piano sprinkled in. I'd love to hear what you think of it!

    Love it when the groove is there from the get go.  Cool grooving Walt, cool grooving.

    That is the stuff!  I like the guitar...but the keys are also a great feature here.  Inspires me to go sit in front of the keyboard this morning -- thanks for that!

    Fantastic.   Your off-kilter train beat really makes the track groove.   Really like the keyboards, bass, guitar, and the mix is really good.

    @jyemz - Jam along James! This is more of a jam groove than an actual song I guess. Glad to have inspired. :)
     
    @dcumpian - Thanks Dan. I've been drifting away from rock and more towards ambient, jazz, and funk. This song is a bit of a throwback for me, where I allowed it to "rock" a bit more.
     
    @Wookiee - Thank you John. I really never got past the initial groove on this one. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
     
    @cwestmont - Awesome Clark. Inspiration is one of the main reasons we're here. :)
     
    @markno999 - Hey Mark, thanks! This one was sort of a quick idea that grew a bit and eventually got mixed and released. Glad you enjoyed it!
