Shadows Talk To Me; Global Ska Network - SLAPJOHNSON

Absolutely fantastic, Slap! You're a class act in a league all on your own - and it's an honor sharing this site with the likes of you.

SOOOO is this sax harmonization I'm hearing? Beautiful and cool.

SLAP your voice SHHHi. You just knocked me back all over again. Just cuz you're making my mind spin with your good stuff here, I'm having ideas ... like with your voice and the sax, you should do something that blends from one to the other in a delicately cohesive way ... kinda like you sing "You made me feel ..." and as you sing a fade out of feel, the sax fades in and you play on the sax how you feel. That would be awesome.

Love your voice, both through just yourself and through your sax. Is there a clever nickname for a sax? like a guitar is an axe? cuz i would have used it.

Hey, it's always good to just let what comes out, come out. I try not to think of genres when I write, I find it just ends up pulling me in 5 directions when I need only 1. This was lovely... you're developing a great sound with this project and something I've noticed now that I've hit a few of the tracks... you've got a lot of variation both vocally and musically. When I buy a cd from an artist and realize all the tracks sound almost the same I am always gutted. I reckon nobody will find that happening with you :)

Gorgeous listen.

this is really good and the fact that you do most of the playing and mixing yourself is really impressive
it sounds really good

This is simply a classic.
You are one of my Favourite Musician, Love you.
With respect,

You have soul my friend, and it shows brillantly on this track, now I know why your harmonica loops sound so good, soul is the hearth of music, without it its only notes. Well done would love to collaborate with you, on sll my tracks I leave s lot space for melody, theres a lot of room to improvise. Really enjoyed the relaxing moment you provided me.

How good is this!...People that work in chicken factories by and large don't eat chicken...my point being they don't bring their work home with them....Whereas you being a professional musician also have music as your passion...that is an amazing combination and we here at the loop are lucky to hear and experience it first hand....A beautiful track with soul..this stuff just seems to flow out of you..excellent singing that segues into a tasty guitar solo...but when that soprano horn starts all glasses are put down...I do believe that is one of the best introductions I've ever heard of an instrument, all the ground work and preparation for it's arrival almost make it majestic.....simply World class playing......cheers mate :)

I just cant put my finger on who your voice reminds me of- But I will let you know one day!! Excellent all the way around. I like the way you do your drums with sonic foundry! The horns took me back the Stax Records Memphis days!! Excellent workk!!

Nice change of direction from your recent upbeat ska projects, this one is very laidback and kinda mellow. Everything sounds great, solos are amazing.
Great song as always Slap, I'd like to hear more from you in this style.
