Snake Eyes Ft Jimmy Stiles - TheHumps

Definitely got a rocky, country blues thing going on. Great live guitar take too. Play it with a live band in the right kind of bar & the audience would love it. This is a very clean, professional sounding track. Great job.

Very fantastic rock piece you two have created here!

The guitar is obviously a driving force here, but all aspects come together to make this such a potent song. I found your vocal work to be a bit out of the usual that I would expect on your profile, and in a very good way. Soon after they came in, I started thinking about Primus, or more specifically Primus songs which are not as much based around insane fretless classical style wandering bass solos, but more based around rocking out and making a lyrical point. I'm sure the rural twang in your voice added to this impression, but it was also the guitar parts which reminded me a lot of the style of Larry LaLonde.

This political climate is surely an interesting and frustrating state of affairs. The election year and the year since has finished the job of ruining my trust in our current system. I will most likely discontinue voting for federal officials until the electoral college is done away with. I can no longer consider myself a liberal, and that term seems to be more of an insult than anything now. I can barely see the lines between republicans and democrats, nor can I believe that things would be much different if things had turned out different in the election.

It's funny in a way... last month I got elected to our neighborhood association board as the "neighborhood development chair." I was to be a go between from the citizens to the government agencies (city council, parks board, etc...). The position lasted all of two weeks before I was forced to step down. In discussing neighborhood issues with some citizens, and then having several of my responses censored by other board members, I realized all at once that there was no way I could represent these people. They offended me, I offended them, I wanted nothing to do with their plans, and they wanted nothing to do with my suggestions. It all comes down to too many people who are not willing to be part of the solution, but are all too prepared to contribute to the problems they complain about.

Sorry, I guess your song just brought things up, which is a good thing! People need to start thinking and observing more deeply, rather than just letting everything get out of hand.

I really enjoyed the song my friend! Thank you for the DL! Big FAVE!

This is really a nice one. Has this "live" play something that makes songs like this so real. Everything is cool in this song and well played. The mix is nicely made. I enjoyed the listen really. Rock on Wayne.

stay tuned
joe

This sounds like straight from the rehersal room to a console and to our ears. Very true feeling !

I hear some Beefheart in that guitar!
Sounds great.

I mean who is not a sucker for some bad ##### Swampy Rock Blues? Love this and the vibe it gives off. Old time bad ##### Rock.
Very tasteful guitar work.

Thanks for sharing.

Solid mix, Wayne! Great to hear what you are up to. Regards - Dan

Wayne, this has a nice throw back sound to it, I really like your vocals with this, they go really well with the style of the track. Jim's guitar is awesome, has a great tone and really cool licks to it. Thanks for sharing this and has a great sound that we don't always get here on the loop.

fantastic track Wayne

raw and dry...it comes from the viscera...very, very cool...

that guitar tone is too good...like plug in, volume max. and play...

vocs are also good, specially in the chorus where you are the backgrounder for yourself, I guess...

all in all, one of your best, handshake, Danke

hello Wayne :)

what i mean by writing "chris spedding"?
i apologize but it will be easier for me to copy paste informations about Chris spedding from wikipedia :) i thought you knew him lol

Christopher John "Chris" Spedding (born Peter Robinson, 17 June 1944)[1] is an English musician, singer, guitarist, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, composer, and record producer. In a career spanning more than 40 years, Spedding is best known for his studio session work. By the early 1970s, he had become one of the most sought-after session guitarists in England. Spedding has played on and produced many albums and singles. He has also been a member of eleven rock bands: The Battered Ornaments, Frank Ricotti Quartet, King Mob, Mike Batt and Friends, Necessaries, Nucleus, Ricky Norton, Sharks, Trigger, and The Wombles.

AllMusic has described Spedding as "one of the UK's most versatile session guitarists, [he] has had a long career on two continents that saw him tackle nearly every style of rock and roll, as well as sporadically attempting a solo career. The fact that he never quite broke through to stardom, except in his native England and parts of Europe, and in professional music circles, is more a result of bad timing and worse luck than any lack of talent or commitment on his part."[1]

Spedding pursued a solo career and released his debut album Songs Without Words in 1970. Since then, he has released fourteen studio albums, and two live albums. His solo albums have met no success, failing to chart anywhere, while his only single to chart was "Motor Bikin'"

Hi Wayne!

I'm sorry to note that i have to learn guitar for twenty years more. :)
Regards, traz

Hi Wayne,
Good to hear something so "fresh"!
I like this song a lot: it has some touches of the Clash of the beginnings (Give'Em/London), specially your voice and the rhythm section: Clash never had such a great solo guitar player :-)
Good work on the bass ... and I would never believe that these drums are programmed: they sound so "live".
Again... well done!
Ciao, Domenico
