Loved this when I first heard it, still love it. Totally reminds me of some stuff I listened to in high school. It really works, there's nothing you could do to make this better. It's perfect as is. Thanks for sharing!
Man I could imagine driving through the country side listening to this one, man this one is so relaxing, another great track from you Wayne, maybe vocals could make it even better if that is possible, I like it like this but would like to hear a soft male vocal over the top, instant fav my friend...Peace Wayne...Estefano...
Hey man thanks for the nice words. I'm sure we could work together and do a track. Life's got me a bit busy right now and not able to find as much time to record these days, so be a little patient if I can't do anything right away, ok. Thanks.
Wayne, this is truly, beautiful, smoothing and touching – just like december snow. It's the second time I've listned to it and I just love it. It's in my iphone now.
Great! It reminds me an old song from Coolio "C U When U Get There"

I was hoping for some chours hits too. But it was great anyway. Keep it up.
Very soothing Humps.Like you, most of my tracks use only limited loops, and i find it a bit tricky to use loops exclusively on a track, so wanted to say a job well done.
I played this one while I was doing a bit of my day-job work. emotional evocation coming through nicely.
Perhaps you'll need to do more in the genre...
I'll keep watch
Thanks

That tone you use for the rhythm section is simply neat Wayne. It's clean at the same time it has a certain aura. what mic do u use? the vocals sound great, it is clear and expressive. i still have your advise on the mics, but which one are you using on this track? sounds swell.
This was recorded on my old 8 bit system. I listen to it now compared to my new stuff and I hear a big difference in quality. That rhythm is a clean strat, little reverb. check your email on the mics!
Man this track is beautiful, just like your description, it fits well to this track, guitar is sensational, read vocals that Elaine had done for you, they sound so good for this track, friend please let me know when you have vocal version done as I would love to hear that, again this track is up with your very high standards Wayne, man I do have long way to go yet, but talent like you drives me to keep improving,as always Wayne thank you for sharing your talent, always a pleasure to the ears listening to your gems...Peace my good friend...Estefano....Instant Fav mate...
I tried to get a close friend to sing the vocals with me but she passed on doing them. I think I'm gonna leave it the way it is. Thanks always for your kind words!! Take care Estefano!!
ooohh.. now this take me back to the band television.. some post velvet underground lou reed... you know? blank generation? Transformer?.. anyway nice production I would have been a little heavier with the bass because that early stuff was always bass driven.. Listening I thought straight away richard hell... stranglers.. keep 'em coming brother
Yup, your right on the money with those bands!! Thanks for the listen! It's an older 8 bit recording, lacks some fidelity in lows and hi's. All my tracks could use another mix, lol, oh well!
I think Punk in it's first overt incarnation (lets not forget the proto-phase in NY City) was more of a blanket generic designation. In other words, Punk was what wasn't mainstream. (A bit like Hip Hop's claim if I'm not misreading it.) In the UK, punks were hanging out at Reggae clubs before they had their own music.
In that sense, this one seems more like circa `77 to my ears. A gathering of sonic flotsam and jetsam, discarded pieces of things that came before....
You nailed it, 1977!! I basically used a formula for this song from a Boston punk band called LaPeste that were popular in the late 70s. They were a 3 piece that put out a few albums worth of simple, stripped down material like this.
I'll be uploading a cover in the next week or so of these guys with the original Hump line up. It has this simplicity but with cranking guitars.
One of the few acoustics songs i've heared that stands strong without a vocal. Diverse range of sounds there, look to hearing more, well done and keep going.
This is just a gift, Wayne. Can't echo earlier comments enuff re the music. Yr production itself stands out too - the separation and presence of all the instruments works so well in this mix. Respect + thanks for more great music!
Wow like this track, the spanish feel about guitar, good beat to keep track moving along just nicely mate, sounds like there is a manalay (spelling?)what ever it is it is very nice through the track, I enjoy coming into your profile Wayne to check out diff styles that you have here ,it is so it refreshing to come and hear something diff from you my friend, that I have not ventured into doing yet,again thank you Wayne for sharing your talent, Peace friend...Estefano...
You'll venture out soon and start trying new things. You're just perfecting a couple genres first before you move on and master a few more!! And I believe you will!!
Thanks for the listen and review bud. Working on a new fast punk song with the original Humps line up, maybe upload in a week or so. I'll swing by and check out your new material, looking forward to hearing it!!
Thanks dude! I like the fast version but I couldn't resist slowing it down and using the lyrics again. I'm reworking the unplugged version a little, hopefully get that up in a while.
beautifully done... this will be in my head for a while! have you recorded any vocals over it yet? i heard your coal miner's son song and was waiting for your vocals to kick in, you got a cool sound... anyways, excellent song!
Thanks man! Appreciate the kind words. I don't think I plan on putting vocals on this one. Some get them, some don't, lol. Marj, loopermember, just did a version with some vocals on it, check out her page.
This is a really cool and fun song Humps. This takes me back to when MTV first started (yes, I am elderly =), the only difference is that it is much better then most of those old songs that no one remembers now. Great Job.
Man this is F#@King stunning,wow man you are so talented at whatever you do, this brilliant, all I can say, man want more like this, keep em coming my friend....

Why are all these people in my way? Now that's a question I ask myself quite frequently. :) Timeless theme! I love the vocal on this track and it has a great, catchy beat. Really cool song. I love it. -Ken
