@nazarevox: Thank you for listening and the encouraging feedback, Marcelo!

Love that lick!

You got something going on. Rough. Good.

that´s what i´m talking about...

Like this one Tom!

Thanks Ken! I was inspired by Madi Diaz's version. So if you like this version you might check out her version because it's pretty rad.

Sounds good Tom, better than the original I would say... I like what you did with it.

I don't resonate with the lyrics as much right now, but I anticipated this shift when I called it "the blues" instead of its actual title "street of dreams." So that title change may be why you haven't heard the original. Oh ...and thanks for your kind words of encouragement, Ken!

I haven't heard the original, but nice work Tom.

Cool acoustic version!

Thanks Ken!

Good one Tom.

Thanks, Ken -- I know my voice is not everyone's "cup of tea" so I appreciate it -- high praise coming from another musician such as yourself! At some point I would like to do something studio proper, but that might not be for another few more years as I will probably be pretty busy with school for at least a little while longer. There’s a nice studio in town that is relatively cheap, it’s just a matter of me sitting down and putting together some songs worthy of investing that kind of energy into it. I suppose if I were collaborating with someone it would kind of force me to take it more seriously, but either way it’s on my list of things to do, for sure!

Another nice one Tom. I would love to see some strings added to your music and a little fuller production as you have an awesome voice.

@thetworegs: Thanks! This one is one of the few I have recorded that turned out better than I could have hoped. Glad to hear that someone else enjoyed it.

Thanks Ken! I felt a little unsure whether to post this one as I could never get the guitar to not sound horribly out-of-tune. Nice to know that my singing sort of cancelled out the less than perfect guitar tone...

Good one Tom ... like it.. nice playing.

Nice singing Tom!

Great vocal....Nice song....

I'm more musician than lyricist, just so you know, but I'm def looking forward to hearing whatever you got for me to sing over. I'll give it my best shot!

I'm late to the party on this one, but had to comment to say that I think you really did a great job making this song your own -- bravo!

Enjoyed this one!

Yes, I'm back! I actually didn't go anywhere. I just am slower to get things learned and recorded these days. But I'll keep posting songs as I finish them. Thanks for the encouraging words, Mike!

Wow -- love it!

@isband Seems this one might be my first recording to get the Voldemort treatment

They say "you are what you eat." I find this to be true because as soon as I bought some ready-to-eat apricots, I was ready to eat apricots. My favourite thing about these ready-to-eat apricots is that they were in a resealable bag, because sometimes you aren't ready-to-eat apricots enough. Maybe next time you'll buy some ready-to-eat apricots.

Thank y0u for the kind words and for the listen, @tonycee and @isband!

Thank you for the kind words @tonycee!

Took me a "long long time" to discover this song, but I'm so glad I was finally able to thanks to the amazing third episode of "The Last of Us." Thank you for the kind words, Colleen!

I'm so happy to learn that you plan to take a look at the originals, c}{imps! I'm just here trying to honor my favorite songs and it's a true compliment if I can do well enough to make someone want to hear the "real" version. (-:

I like all four of your songs! The layered vocals on this one are particularly cool. :)

A nice "pick me up" in these uncertain times! The bongos and other percussive sounds are nicely juxtaposed with the simulated jet sounds. Cool stuff!

Thanks for the encouraging words, Tess! Authenticity is definitely what I'm going for with these songs.

@SisterSavage: As always, thank you for listening and thank you for your kind words, Tess!

Inspiring!

I had a lot of fun listening to this one. The subtle use of sitar and the chugging rhythm guitar are two cool things (of many) that jump out at me. Nice work, Steve! :)

Thanks, Steve! It was fun trying to make the two guitars work and I'm glad the enjoyment extended beyond just me.

@theproods I'm very glad to hear that you're out there supporting some of the artists who inspired me so much!

Love this one; it’s great seeing you back on alonetone! :)

Glad you enjoyed it, Steve! I had some fun with this one. ;)
