You always have such a good mix of instruments ... each one is unique but works so well with the others. Great playing all round, but I'll mention the bass specifically because it's such an important "frame". Really nice vocals too!
THE WALK
I drove 400 miles that night
East of Dallas to Abilene
And the hopes that I held in my headlights
Were hopes like I'd never seen

She said she'd be off about 2 AM
Said it would be nice…

I'm laughing out loud. You have some serious *ATTITUDE* going here!
I love it. Great Riffs, Great Tone and I think I even heard those testicles clanging in the wind.

Here's a traditional American tune I first heard down in the Ozarks when I was maybe 5 years old. Just clawhammer banjo and vocals. The first verse is one I remember. I made up the rest. I was gonna go from coast to coast but I ran out of time…
Twenty Dollar Doctor is the second single released by Vinyette for their upcoming album Every Little Mouse Run! Watch the music video too! This is funky avant-garde rock!
A saucy little ditty from the Jip and LJ laboratory. The first thing I've sung for 3 weeks (been resting a very strained voice - eek!)

There'll be much frivolity, booze flowing, so much fun
I may…

I stopped by for another listen this morning. Good song!
WOW ...... I like this. Nice picking. The guitar tracks sound fantastic!
Very playful, and I like the story about the Zoom Effects.
ODDLY CAPTIVATING. WELL DONE
Quick fingers on the guitar. Driving beat and great vocal. The bass brings it all together.
Oh ....... That's good . I like all textures.
Sad topic but a very pretty song
Very Pretty.
A Very touching tribute to your friend. I like the simplicity of it, and the later addition to the piano. Well done . . . This is first class!
I'm laughing out loud. You have some serious *ATTITUDE* going here! I love it. Great Riffs, Great Tone and I think I even heard those testicles clanging in the wind.
I feel like I was there with you. I like the modulation when you were in the rut. So . . . . Was it Worth the trip?
You got ATTITUDE ON TOP OF ATTITUDE. I Love It!
Beautiful music!
Nice song . . . very powerful.
Top Shelf my friend. You hit the mark with this one! The harmonica is a nice touch.
Something about this song that just grabs me. It has a lot of interesting elements, and it's fun to hear harmonica.
O O O O O O OH . . . . . . That's good.
Excellent song, and interesting video.
*Happy Music* I was smiling all the way through!
Nice picking!
