Got that bounce. Sax flows well. Upbeat and forward moving.

I really liked this track. My one point of feedback, I played it speeding up to 1.4 in WMP, I think it really rocks at a faster tempo.

This is an interesting combination of such rich horn-section sound and a more dirty harp/slide vibe. I can tell your interest heads both ways, make sure to listen carefully to how you blend them so they don't clash. The bright, polished horns (reminiscent of Motown to a strong degree) have a dominant place in the mix, and this makes it especially difficult for the tonal qualities of that harp to cut through. The same sort of clash occurs at times with the slide guitar part. This song looks toward an interesting marriage of those types of sounds - it's important to do it carefully. Kudos, and keep up the good work!

Hi Slap,
I am finally getting around to check out some more songs here on Looperman and I picked this newest one from your listing. I really like the song and chord progression. You did well on the harmonica and slide guitar as it fit right in.
Thanks for sharing,
Randy

Hi Randy, thanks for dropping by and casting those trained ears on my first slide attempt. I'm working on a few more songs which feature the slide in open tuning, it's such a great sound. I'm practising as much as time will allow and have been bought a book by a friend, this covers all about the great blues players and thier techniques. I'm hoping to get these finished off soon and maybe we can share notes. Cheers Slap...

Slap you are a stud musician. This track sounds great! Well produced, expertly played all the elements are in place. And there is an element of American-ness to it that is unexpected from a someone in her majesty's kingdom. =) A lot of people are feeling some impact and learning from what you do and that can not ever be discounted in value.

Hi sixfingers, I wish sometimes I was just a stud lol. I have always loved the blues, and from an early age liked listening to jazz and blues. American culture has influenced generations and will keep on doing so. I need to hear real instruments being played by musicians with soul and sang from the heart, I know you will agree, that's our bag. Cheers Slap...

Hi XxyounG, Thank you for your kind supportive words about this track. Playing the instruments onto this track didn't take that long, about 2 hours in total from start to finish. Learning to play all of these instruments, now that takes the time!!!! Cheers Slap...

Find a way to bottle that talent and ship some to me. The song is awesome. There's nothing wrong with it. Wouldn't change a thing. If I sent you some lyrics, would you consider doing some of them? BTW, I put up a new tune, fear of committment, please let me know what you think.

Love Ya Man

You are certainly a monumental talent. Great song all way round. I thought the vocals were good as is. Gives it a nice bluesy/been there, done that/too many late nights with a bottle & a smoke, feel.

SLAPJOHNSON replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Hi Mokeone, if I drop the vocals down an octave I might sound like Tom Waits. To be honest Mr E is right it's a high song and I wasn't at my best, so I intend to sort them out this week. I'm glad you like the song. Chicago just blew me away and I had to do something about it. Cheers Slap...

Thanks Helven, I was online at a gig when you reviewed this track. I'm sorry I didn't have my email open. The place had free connection, so I thought I'd check the only site on the web to fill some time in between sets. Thanks for the review, and keep walking tall my friend. Cheers Slap...
