We all know(I hope) that one of the most difficult thing to make music around the pella.
What I really liked in this song, is your tasteful arrengement...I hear harp, bum-bum retro snare :-) and little things what makes interesting this song without guitar,too...
But I wait that that instrument very much :-)
Congrats and respect for this number and just one more sentence for the sideline: this IS retro too, cause you are this song...:-)
Always a pleasure to receive your comments and read your kind words. you're right...it is a bit tricky to arrange the music around the vocals, but the challenge is quite enjoyable and a good learning experience.
Yes, I love the harp, so use it when I can get away with it. I also included one of my favorite vintage instruments, the mellotron, in it, so maybe it is retro after all!
Wow wow wow!
You really have captured the sixties sound here.
I love it and have downloaded it.
This place amazes every time I log in.
This track reminds me of Richard Hawley ...
There's a Storm a Comin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjmnibuGC80
He puts a lot of time and effort into getting a modern take on fifties sixties sounds.
Fantastic track you've done here.
I still remember your very first dissing comment to me on my 'covers' site when you said I need to 'GET IT TOGETHER.' See, I'm not such a terrible musician after all!
Anyway, 'water under the bridge,' so no heart feelings.
Listened to this twice now and it got even better.
I noticw you have a Jewish Princess and know Bobby Brown ... me too.
As fr 10 cc I used to live near what was then their studio ... Strawberry recording studios Stockport.
Great track.
Oh my lord I love this one!
It's 1972 I'm in my flat in Manchester England and I've just rolled a fat one!
It's dark and I'm just listening ... nothing more just listening.
Been nosying around your tracks this is my favourite.
Vintage, indeed!The movie, "The Cotton Club" came to mind as I listened to this. The recorded scratch adds the perfect touch! I like this, a lot! Another Fav!
LOL...You seem to be digging my stuff, Kay, and I'm really glad and thankful. Thanks for the 'fav.'
When I started doing these 20s and 30s styles, I would have bet a dollar to a donut that no one would have cared much for them. I haven't listened to this one in about a year, but still enjoy it.
OMG, this is Awesome!! This has most definitely satisfied my bluesy side! That guitar playing is da bomb & I love Sax! This is a masterpiece...GreatWork!!
Thanks allot, Kay. Glad you like it and thanks for your comment.
Cheers,
Scott
P.S. I checked out one of the online music creators you mentioned. These are pretty cool to play around with, but if you are serious about your music, you should maybe check out some of the programs where you can actually do it yourself. I started with Cakewalk's 'Music Creator.' It's about $35. There are many others out there, but I've only stayed with Cakewalk programs since I started, so am not familiar with the others. You can use the loops from the members here in these programs. That's how I got started, than met other musicians to play on my tracks (and me on theirs) If I can help with anything, LMK...Good luck!
I absolutely loved the guitar, horns, and sax work in this song. It is a throwback to the early 70's stuff that many bands were experimenting with back then. Nice work.
Much appreciated, Kdlucas. Glad you like it and took time to comment.
Yeah, I'm pretty much a 'retro' guy. I just have a hard time finding much of today's music I like other than jazz, so guess I'll continue making it myself!
Kinda sounds like the music from Spy Hunter...a video game from back in the day. I love the excitement, the feel & the flow. I especially like the bass...Great Work!
nice one Scott, I really like it! It has this fine funky cool vibes. NIce combination of loops. I sort of assume you're playing the drums in here.
Very enjoyable tune, Alex
It's me, my friend. I love the fact that I can create music or collaborate with friends, and add my drums to it. Since retiring, I don't do much live playing now a days, but still love to play, so this really offers a great outlet.
Man a very nice groovy funk piece, stand out for me is the sax and piano, everything sounds spot on, nice beat to go with the guitar and sax, to keep track moving along just nice for the listener...good work...Fav...Peace n Respect...Mosaic...
Super Clean hit the spot Scott, nailed this bad boy...
Outstanding Mix, must be the Logic in your production, I can tell
you know what you are doing...
We had a band 15 years before...we used bariton sax like Morphine (you know like a rhythm instrument), a 22 years old female 'bomber' (super lady :-) was the user...
You just got this memory back with this outstanding funky groovy Scott...
Thankx for that...instant fav...
ahh - give me that sampled baritone sax! You have a great feel for the woodwinds and brass sounds. They are not always easy to coax into something believable and musical. You seem to get it. You really bring that old school band together beautifully in this one. really enjoyed listening.
As usual, the basis for a great track is the percussion and you did not disappoint Scott. Great basis for the rest of the instruments....there is nothing better than having a great driving beat like this one. I enjoyed every last second of this one. Major props Scott for a job well done. And an add to favorites as well.

I did some big band work back in the day, and always love it when the bari sax took a solo. I think it's one of my favorite woodwind instruments.
Glad I could bring back some memories for you.
