Description : WARNING THIS IS NOT A FINALIZED TRACK BY ANY MEANS!
That being said, constructive criticism still appericiated, just know that the obvious stuff is probably already being dealt with.
Ok, so I basically sat down in front of my mic and was recording this just to hear what I sounded like... and managed to get through the whole thing with only a few small hiccups here or there. This is a live recording, so I can't really EQ the guitar and my vocals separately.
I also realize I'm not winning awards for my singing, but maybe when I rerecord it I'll be able to do a little better.
I mostly am posting this version because someone mentioned Country/hip hop and this is my take on it. Final version will have a harmonica solo, a cleaner recording, and hopefully I'll be singing a little more on key. However if any of y'all wanna help by singing the chorus that would make a huge difference. I can sing a lot better when I have someone else backin me up!

i can hear overdriven guitars and pumping bass here. loved the short transition in the middle - that makes the whole song different. and i like the words flowing - that's blues, bro!

Yeah Im feeling this kick back country/ midwest feel. Its like Aesop Rock mixed with a Blues singer. Cant wait for the finish bro, this will end up being a fav for sure. You know a small touch Id dig is maybe a rhythm track running underneat and kicking in about mid song. Thatd liven it up a bit.
Then again, maybe I dnt want to hear that lol...might ruin the laid back feel.
Meh who knows, 2 versions? Lol
Let me know when you update it.

Alright... I was considering MAYBE adding a touch of rhythm to the final version, but I'm still on the fence about it, I'll give it a shot and see how it sounds. I like the idea of it not coming in until after a verse or two though... Worse case scenario I'll post the two versions like you said. Thanks for the review, I'll hit you up when it's done.

Sounds like Kid Rock a bit!! Doesn't sound that bad for a live recording. A little more production is needed but the idea is there. You just need to project your voice a bit, gain a little confidence, your voice isn't too bad. Look forward to hearing it done!

Thanks! Ill work on "projecting my voice" more. I can do it fine when I'm rapping, and honestly I think I even sing more on key then too... which makes me think you're dead on about the confidence thing. I'll be sure to let you know when it's done! Thanks for the review!

glad you like it! I posted it after your request for country hip hop... I hope to really tighten this one up some day turn, maybe even teach myself to sing it a little better... We'll see though, the singing part might just be how I sing.
