That Death in Vegas track is so similar to Matchstick Men, how did they not get sued for copyright? It's a neat track but way too close for comfort in my opinion, lol.
I've been checking the Quo a lot on youtube, so many cool tracks, lots of energy in their songs. And so much live stuff posted, they put on a show!
great track Wayne, The Quo's are great and i too cant understand why they never made it big in the US. Francis Rossi and the boys still rock tho.
great playing and vocal as always, authentic vibe and another really good listen for me.
I've known Pictures of Matchstick Men since I was a kid and even as I grew older I still had never heard any other tracks by these guys on the radio or on an album owned by any friends.
It's fun to stumble on some great classic rock tracks by an artist that surprises you with their songs other than their big hit.
I tried keeping the guitars more on the clean side like the original. My new Epiphone Les Paul Jr can give the clean rock tone in so many ways, always loved this classic guitar.
Ha! That's funny and a compliment, tell her thanks! The more I check them out the more I'm surprised they never made more of a mark on US radio. Really only Matchstick Men was played over here.
The Quo's still rockin', live tv from Germany just 2 years ago:
Well-crafted track in your typical, straightforward style. I think this is a nice example of how well it can work with clean and sparsely divided guitar parts. Personally, I would have placed an additional, thin guitar with a few notes far into the background in the last part to open up the space at the end. But of course that's a matter of taste.
Cheers,

I try not to over produce my tracks, the keep it simple stupid approach, he. I wish I had harmonicas in all the keys because I might have added some here and there, possibly in the end to fill in some spaces.
Woohoo! I was wondering where you were, mind you I have not been on too much, just now and again posting a song when I get time or uploading older ones...But lets talk about this little jam right here which deserves a grammy btw no joke the whole track is on point! & to the point, Moonshiner aye lol... Vocals & music are stellar. You are one of the absolute! best songwriters *Hands Down* your storytelling is always ACE! I'm always impressed and come away a very satisfied listener. Brilliant Stuff indeed. Always a fave. Bravo!
I took a couple months off to basically get away from recording and set up all my new gear(comp, interface, guitars, software...). Come back with fresh ears.
This is a great song man! I've not had the pleasure of hearing ur work before, but I'm glad I hit play on this one. I'm a fan of music of all kinds, especially ones made by true songwriters or composers. U can tell the difference. Great work here, man.
a style recognizable among thousands, great composition Wayne even if I would have preferred a mix a little more "bold" the song is very nice! great job my friend!

My new Epiphone Les Paul Jr is pretty darn awesome, it's amazing how many tones you can get with one pickup. Plus it's a third cheaper than a Gibson, I feel like I'm stealing from them when I buy these new guitars.
No, haven't noticed any latency issues. From ez into your daw? I skipped ez 2, didn't look like it would help me anymore than ez 1. But ez 3 is a different monster. Way more samples, more ways the tracks can be mixed, it's just leaps and bounds beyond ez 1.
Self named track? lol
Very nice rock sound mate, listening to it with headset, fill set very nicely, vocals are great in this one, nice work on the vocals Wayne, wish I could sing but there's no hope with my vocals unless there is a machine to tune and much more before I would record any vocals...Very surprised this has one review before mine...everything works very well in this piece from drums and guitar and vocals, can't fault any part of it my friend...much respect to you Wayne....mos..
nice to have you back around Wayne, great to here your style, sounds like you had great fun using your new kit, it all sounds great as always and can only add to the motivation to keep grinding great sound quality everything is pin sharp and clear
It was a much needed break. My old intel imac still works as a stand alone music production machine but all the new standards for internet were past my comp's ability to keep up. Starting fresh is good, keeps the mind attentive and updated.
Wayne, Long time since I've heard one of your tracks. I hope all is well. The thing about luck is we can make our luck. The way I look at it is, if you can write one song, you can write them all.
Thanks! Things are going ok, can't complain, thanks for asking.
We create our opportunities for success or failure. Usually, the harder you work at something, the more it pays off for you in the long run. Call it making luck if you want. This guy is just down on his luck and he's letting you know, he.
Hey Wayne
Hey this sounds like Spiv on vocals.
Listening with head set mate, fills out set very well indeed, great guitar playing as well, comes across like a pub track in a good way :)
overall, cannot fault my friend, prob only thing wish it was longer as it sounds so good, suppose that's a good thing lol, fav my friend, might pop you an email next few days when I get a chance away from work, peace much respect mosaic....
Hey pal! No, not Spiv on vox, that's my new, rough rock voice, lol. Thanks for the nice words!
I write short songs mostly 2-2.5 minutes. Way easier to mix a short song, less time spent mixing, so much less content to list to and scrutinize. Why put yourself thru the agony of a 6 min track? Must take weeks to mix, he. Can do 3 songs in that time and learn more that way. I do get a lot of comments saying the song was too short, oh well. Hit the play button again I say!!
Excellent! Cant say that it reminds me of anything, its got its own sound...something i always go out of my way to do, not sound like anyone else....good work!
We all strive to be different when it comes to doing this, well I hope we all do. Got my new git and pedal so I'm putting it to good use. Epiphone Les Paul Standard/The Guv'nor by Marshall.

These "inspired by Gibson" Epiphones are a steal for the price they are charging and the quality of these guitars. The P 90 Pro pickup is hot!

S.Q. and that LP is the basis of everything ... :-)
Fistbump,
Danke
Thanks man but the brilliance comes from Rossi and Young.
Gotta say I love this guitar, the neck feels right and the tones I'm getting through my tweed Fender Bronco amp(direct in) works well with it.
Take care!

I love status quo they used to get slagged off for the simple chords but they were effective and they had some real good tunes.
great track Pal.

I sing, if it's any good is up to the listener I suppose. But it does help me get ideas put together much quickly not having to get a singer involved.
Thanks Mos, hope all is going well down under!

This is real hard rock! Good job with the moog lead I like it
Not my best performance on the theremin, tough scale I chose to play on it so I wasn't as fluid as I would have liked.
