Like this version. Catchy song!

Nice cover Tom : )

Nice song. You've managed to do your own backing vocals too. Good job!

From Pulp Fiction too? Powerful song, comes across well Tom. Well done!

Thanks, Steve! It's a song I covered from the "Pulp Fiction" soundtrack and I thought its vibe worked well for the new mic/guitar setup I'm trying out.

I don't know the song, but nicely performed Tom.

High praise comparing this song to John Lennon - he's a huge influence on me and so I'm quite honored...and I think this song turned out pretty well under the circumstances (I sang it following the US election). Glad you enjoyed it and, as always, thanks for stopping by to listen!

Reminds me of John Lennon. I don't know the song, but very nice.

Thanks, Dok! While I didn't write this song, I appreciate the sentiments of this song too. It works on (at least) two levels: one level is the obvious Ram Dass reference while the other is about loving another. Btw, I'm looking forward to hearing more of your stuff!

Very well expressed sentiments Tom. I like it.

Thanks, Dok! I know my style isn’t for everyone, so I do appreciate that some of what I post here resonates with you and that you keep coming back to listen.

Another winner! Like your style.

@TheProods: As always, thank you for stopping by to listen and to give encouragement; I really appreciate it!

I kinda figured the "Empire Builder" comment was yours, Dok, but didn't want to assume anything! And thank you for the warm words for "Lemon Grove Ave." Cool to have folks like you listening and appreciating what I'm playing!

Mellow and cool avenue. Enjoying the groove. Thanks Tom. (Sorry, the guest was me when I forgot to sign in. Doh!)

More great choices.

@Guest: Thanks for the kind words! I always try to go with songs that I can imagine a live audience listening to, so it's cool this song was received that way.

Very nice Tom. Another thoughtful song. I'd enjoy being in the audience to see you perform. You create a mood, an atmosphere, with just an acoustic guitar and your voice. Well done!

Thanks, Dok! I appreciate the appreciating!

Like it Tom. Easy to listen to and appreciate

Cool upbeat vibe on this one, Steve! Fun stuff!

I'm glad to hear that what I recorded turned out sounding authentic. That "heart on my sleeve" vibe was definitely what I was going for. Thanks for the kind words, Steve!

Thanks for listening and for the support, Steve! The simultaneous fingerpicking and singing was hard to get down perfectly, so I'm glad it turned out okay.

@sistersavage -- thanks for the kind words, Tess!

Digging this one, Steve! The melodies, chords, and drums blend nicely with each other. Super cool closing solo too!

Took me about a decade of singing alone in my bedroom before I was brave enough to record anything! I'm glad it sometimes sounds good enough to listen to. Thanks for your kind feedback, Steve!

The reverb I get in my apt definitely added a nice flavor to this song. I've been playing this tune in one form or another for at least 15 years, so I thought it'd be cool to record it in the new place to see how it sounds in novel surroundings. As always, thanks for the support and kind feedback, Steve!

Thank you for listening and for the kind words, @sistersavage!

Sounds like you've stumbled onto a vibe that would fit right in on the new Blade Runner movie's soundtrack; great work here, Steve!

Rad stuff, Steve! It sounds like you're exploring new and exciting territories with your last few songs. Looking forward to hearing what comes next. :)

A trance inducing tune -- engaging stuff! Nice work here, Steve!

A menacing vibe to parts of this one and yet there is some rays of hope that shine through every once in awhile. Quite epic. Makes me think of some of the current events that have been going on in my country recently. Excellent work here, Steve!

I definitely tried to go for a natural approach and that has its pros and cons. There are a few word salads in this song that I stumbled through but at least it's authentic and authenticity was key with this one. Thanks, as always, for listening and providing the kind feedback, Steve!

Thanks, as always for listening and for the kind feedback, Steve! It's kind of scary to strip everything away and really expose one's voice and playing. So it's kind of a relief that what I did here still turned out sounding okay.

I really like how you took the essence of what Buckethead did with this song and funneled it through your lens!

Fun stuff, Steve! I love the speaker rattling bass and the crisp drum sound you got going on here. I'm tempted to craft some lyrics and melodies to this one, once I finish moving.

Thanks, Steve! I tried to go real lo fi on this one -- no overdubs. I figured I was due for some optimism in my song choices after recording all of Beck's Sea Change.

You definitely did a great job capturing Buckethead's propensity to mix in improv with more structured songs (in this case, "Jowls"). It would be super cool to hear you try out "Scraps," should you feel the desire to give another Buck song a go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvUGTmaKWTg

Dude! I love everything about this. Amazing stuff, Steve!

I felt downright awful as I was recording this song, "Already Dead," and "Side of the Road," so maybe my state of mind and body at the time added an additional charge to these songs? Either way, I'm glad you enjoyed them and I appreciate your ongoing encouragement, Steve!
