WHAT can I say Jive4005 you nailed it. I enjoyed this one!! Love that harmonica solo! Great lyrics got a few laughs out of me! Great production on all fronts. Fila
Groovy track, very good to hear a fresh song now and then. I really enjoyed it..catchy that's for sure. Thank you for sharing, be well and stay safe :)
Was quite late for me last night when I discovered your acapellas. That's probably why I didn't think to check out your tracks here on Looperman. Very nice stuff. You clearly have a great feel for this kind of music. Loved the vocals, including the "answer" backup vocals.
I agree with comments about the mix. I've downloaded the file and will see if using some of my mastering tools on it will beef it up a bit. Would be better to do that with the stems in the original mix, but I recognize that you are working with limited tools. But, with whatever you have, you are really are making great music in my opinion.
I saw that you are open to collabs. I may have an unfinished R&B track that could work for you. I had envisioned a Barry White type vocal delivery, and I think your range is wee bit higher, but still might work. I do have partially completed lyrics. You seem to be pretty good at lyrics, so the collab would involve more than just the vocals. I hadn't contemplated backing vocals, but yours are really good, so perhaps there's potential for lightening up the instrumental backing track (Patricia Edwards tells me that I'm putting too much in them) and working up backing vocals instead.
always happy to add whatever I can in a collab. If you send the track to me (my e-mail is on my profile page under "about me") with whatever changes and/or additions you might like... be happy to see if I can add something positive. Again, thanks for the kind words.
I like the choice of licks and overall feel. Might do the same with this one too. Got ur email, be looking for some content; keep in mind I got a day job :)
Day job... yeah, I remember those... 30+ years ago. That's when I quit the D.O.T. and went full time singing (with the O.K. of a very understanding wife).
I'll use this track make some riffs for yah for fun to use as you see fit. Should be able to cut, paste, stretch, transpose as needed. Sounds like you were having fun.
I've been binge watching Jazz documentaries lately. If you want some guitar licks to drop in to this stuff let me know. Nice, refreshing, real track, keep up.
Your voice is the cutest!! I listened to one of your vocs as well, fun fun fun. Love your harmonies. Do you play the muzic as well? Lets hope things will turn around soon so you can get back to the real muzic world. :-) Enjoyed this.
I like the blues changes, as well as the background vocals. Nice change from the usual right now. Good, bold vocals. Put an EQ on the master and boost the low mids, might fix some of the light-ness in the mix. Little saturation on the organ will fill it out too, then you can turn it down a hair. Just some thoughts, great work keep it up.
Thanks again Doom. My equipment is modest and the EG stuff often doesn't work as well as some others. Some samples I use are already locked it so bringing certain instruments up or down isn't easy. Just finished a backtrack Windy Rain. Hope to put vocs on it soon.
Outstanding blues right here. You've got your own style, but you have a little bit of Clapton in your vox. Seriously, there are not enough of good old fashioned blues on Looperman, and I've been around here since 2008 under one name or another. By the way, who is laying down the guitar licks? Anyway, I'm a fan. Well done. Happy and safe holidays to you and yours. I hope all is well.
Hello jive4005, i really wonder why not more commented to this one, cause it is really well made, well sung, well mixed and so on. Maybe it is not every body's stuff but it is for sure not bad at all. At least i could really enjoy my listen and i am not a big fan of this style of music. Is it all you? music, lyrics, vocals, production?
Thanks Joe... yes, it's all "me". Glad you like it. I wrote quite a few tunes mostly in the 90's. I just found my old looper software so hope to do more in the near future. Thanks for the kind words.

Commented on Mr Burns and His Wife by jive4005
This is a pretty cool tune. I'm diggin' the vocal skills.
It totally sounds like a John Lee Hooker and B.B. King hybrid!
I would say it's more mid 40's Delta blues than it is 20's Jazz, though.
Either way, excellent work. Keep it up!
Take care.
