Very smooth. King's X flavor.

Interesting musically and lyrically.   Really good performance and mix.  Vox are outstanding.

I thought of ZZ Top as well but with more energy in the vocals. Great singing!

Chaz, I think you have this type of guitar music down well. I like your vocal. I think the vocals would really shine if you could hold out some notes for longer. It would showcase the vocals more.Great job!

hanemkat, thanks for the listen and your comments. Had to look up King's X. Wasn't familiar with them. They sound very good. Thanks for the comparison.
 
markno999, thanks a lot.
 
Leizer, thanks  a lot. Been compared to ZZ a few times. Won't complain about it.
 
Starise, thanks for listening and for your comments. Will work on holding the notes on the next song.

Chas,
 
Cool, hard rocking guitar number. Good lyrics with a vocal that fits the track. Live sounding drumming. Good stuff all the way around.
 
 
Cheers,

I really like this song.
 
One thing I'd change in the mix is I'd bring the vocals forward just a tad. I had a hard time making some of them out. Of course, my hearing is a bit dicey, so that may not apply to anyone else. It's just that I was really getting into the lyrics and they kept getting away from me, if you know what I mean.
One other thing: there wasn't a lot of build in the song overall. I just noticed this peripherally because, as I said, I was getting into the lyrics. Also, I've only recently found out that songs are supposed to build--at least for certain types of music--so maybe it doesn't even matter.
 
Some other things:
- Fool-osophers: Gotta love it even if it wasn't intentional!
- Nice, hot guitars. One of these days, I'm going to learn how to do that smooth, hot sort-of overdrive all you guys seem to have down pat. I've been trying off and on since 1976 and have NEVER got the hang of it. (if you or anyone else wants to pass along a tip or two, I'm all ears)
- You've got a great voice and I really like the overall vox treatment.
 
Overall, a good listen.

Bert, thanks for listening and your comments.
 
Ron, I thought the vocals were a little hot, maybe not. Don't like them to be too out front. Seem to not be part of the song if they're too loud (IMO).  I tried to have dynamics in the song, maybe not enough, though. Foolosophers? Got that from someone down the line (Blackie Sherrod, I think). Thanks for listening and your comments.
