I dig this man! I've always appreciated the aspect of humor contained in your songs, though I know that it is not always meant as the focus. This one does seem like it is meant as "tongue in cheek" at least. Nothing wrong with that!

The modern instrumentation with an almost ancient composition is an interesting duality here. Gives me some parallel thoughts with one of my recent tracks, "Lain," which to me has the sort of composition you might find in a sea shanty or some sort of thing. I suppose that style was a logical progression from medieval styles.

The distorted guitar was especially stand out, both in that duality, as well as simply awesome performance by one of the best guitarists around here!

The recording and processing of your vocals seems to have also come far in recent times. It sounds cool! Though I admit to not having heard your other recent works.

It was fun to hear your latest, and I'm happy to see you around! Have a good one!

This really is surprisingly good. Very unusual type of track for Looperman. It all works perfectly.

I don't normally like your voice but it sounds great here. A nice lilting groove to the music but you did say that it's an old medieaval standard so that makes sense.

Congrats!

Great track with medieval theme. The beggining of the verse reminds on traditional "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen". Nicely done !:)

Compliments____Orlando

I'm not a biker and the only time I spent on bike was ended in hospital you can imagine what is my opinion about motorcycling...:-)
luckily, this is is only the protest song so I can feel that stg is different here...-.-)
very groovy music Mark...your harmonica is flying into song than those guitars are fat enough to go back in time like Steppenwolf and friends...

fantastic harmonies, great vocs, good music here...thanx for the upload...fav, dl, handshake, Danke

Since I ride somewhere between 50000 and 70000 kilometers per year I guess I can relate. :))

You've surely captured the feel of riding a motorbike and the style is spot on. A great mix of southern rock and dark country if you'd ask me.

Thank you for sharing! Will add it to my playlist for sure!

Anybody who has watched and remembered "Easy Rider" just has to have a close idea of the feeling even if they have never taken the journey...this one would not have been out of place in the soundtrack. Great job on the harp and as you say, the guitar tracks chug along nicely & the lead bits got that classic vibe (makes me feel like I should go dig out some of my older Steppenwolf albums)...Fab job on the guitar break at 4:00...kicks the whole thing into high gear...got the picture of the boys hitting a nice long curve All round great job on this one Mark....fav....Ed

Yo Mark, Haven't done that kind of cruising yet but I can imagine how it would go after listening here and I can appreciate the enthusiasm in your expression. Fun, powerful, and you can feel the freedom of that Highway. Great find this morning. No issues I can hear with it, as is projects the story great enough. Thank you for sharing, keep doing it! Ride on

Hello MWRatridge

great track Mark

could be a hit :-) with that cheesy chorus...

congrats and handshake, Danke

Hello MWRatridge,
It is brilliant piece of music.
I love the intro.
Well done.

Does anyone hear the grateful dead? I liked it.

it's hard to be positive nowadays but we take a try minimum once...:-)
mine was this song...:-)
great track my friend Mark

handshake, Danke

I like your songs since I could hear them anywhere, and know that it is yours... possibly it is that I don't listen to much of the music which you are influenced by, but I still like that aspect of your music. As a fellow head injury victim, I can hear the serious note below the comedy here, at least I think I hear it. This also reminds me of the show "Roseanne," since she hits Dan with a frying pan pretty often throughout the series. It's funny, but also sad. Very cool and fun song though, and your performances are great! Thanks for sharing!

No matter the subject...when you play it with feeling it always sounds good to me....something classically good about this one Mark....as always the lyrics & vocal delivery come with your signature...and thats a very good thing....With the current state of our planet its good to listen to some humour...maybe I`ll go hide all the heavier type frying pans in the house...a big well done to you...Cheers...Ed

why do you think people could be uggly with your work? all work is respectable even if it's not our sensibility.
For my own, i understand than the comic aspect is in the lyrics... but as i don't understand very well english so i missed this part.

About melody and instruments, your work is really awesome. I'm sure the result you wanted is a success!

Bleep

(a french version? :p)

Always enjoy me some Floyd. Yeah I could see how any Floyd song would be daunting to cover but especially this one. Nice job though. Solid sound going on.

Hey Mark, Dude you blew me away with this cover man !
Its not everyday that someone takes on such a classic track as this. Its obvious that you put a ton of work into it and the finished product is undoubtedly very cool. With these covers, unlike some people who are so critical at how they compare to the original, I do like to see a pretty close reproduction with the music but also enjoy the differences in how you make it your own. My hats off to you bro, I love it! The one idea that did come to mind as I listened it was maybe a cool modern twist would be to add some vocoded effect to the vocals. I think that's where you will receive the most critique on this. Great work regardless, I thoroughly love to see the cover tracks and this is one of the best examples in quite a while.

Wow Mark!!!!! what a monster of a project to take on. I can hear why you have worked on it for long, it definitely shows. I am very impressed with this. Good to hear some new stuff from you as well. Not sure what else to say but I impressed. Thanks for sharing with us.

Mark, brother, I am so stoked you did a cover of this track. It's one of my all time favorites of PF. This is really, really well done, but that is nothing new. Great instrumentation, and the mix is just solid as it gets. Had to grab a download (thanks for that), and added it to my MWR collection.

Outstanding! Happy holidays to you and the family Mark. Stay warm dude. Hope all is well.

Cool man you are from Canada. I took a look at a few of your influences and i saw the skillet, and i am a bit of a rock fan myself :)

Hey man this pretty good, like a rock song. Good music :)
