love that song brother God bless

riveting essay on the realities of this well known avenue

Yeah, very nice! Everything is given proper space to "breathe", so to speak. Really draws me in in that intangible sort of way that music sometimes does.

As Colleen Dillon said, haunting. Crying.

My friend, George Sluizer was making a film with River Phoenix and asked me to submit some music to possibly be used in the movie. He didn't end up sing this but he did use four other of my submissions.

Great lyrics, love the vocals and music Bravo James

Love this.

Red Dirt Music is a genre into itself. I was just in Stillwater and heard a lot of new, for me, Music.

I meant Tiger Lilies not Threepenny Opera, Lol

Love it! Shades of Leonard Cohen meets Threepenny Opera! Thanks JMT!

would have loved it. I sure did. Much love to you man.

Delightful tune. Great vocals

Carry on, bro!

love the complex bit in the middle.

This is a GREAT "Grass Is Greener" song!

nice!

Nice hook phrase. You turning experimental?

Florencia Di Concilio It’s not the first time someone writes me a song, though it is the very first time I actually like it. I love the song, to tell you the truth! You’re awesome James Michael Taylor! You made my day. ❤️

Laurie Callinan - Its very beautiful. Love the line about the garbage trying to sleep.

Connie Pittman Ramsey Visually sorrowful and heartfelt.... Thank you James, once again, for going where most dare not go

First, the guitar sound is amazing. This friendly little project is is special in so many ways.

You asked me who Jack Hardy was...He was a friend of mine, now gone. Beloved by many. This was a bit of teasing him, imitating how he sang. He and I shared a mutual respect. The first time I met him I was sitting under an awning at the Kerrville Folk Festival and he pulled up a chair and said, "Sing me a song." We were buddies from then on. The day he would arrive at Kerrville was always joyfully anticipated, not just because he made such great spigot. Here is a link to more about him:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Hardy_(singer-songwriter)

That bass is awesome! Great build!

This is beautiful.

Wonderful, James. Thank you for singing the songs in your heart. This world needs them.Summer Loraine Russell

Mighty powerful feelings of aloneness and independence, songs and songwriting/singing a perfect fit! Keith Haas

This immediately puts me in a mythical meadow with fairies and crickets and lightning bugs at dusk...

This is such a solid track it could go a dozen ways. Also, thank you for your comment. I had a 7th line clear up until my final mix when I realized how useless it was...your response verifies my thot. The song was start to finish this afternoon.Thanks again.

"The years can kill your spirit. The years you can’t explain The years that simply melt away... like mascara in the rain." Damn... what great words. JMT words. Words that paint a picture... on the canvas of my spirit. ` Jon McCabe

Crisp and crystal clear!

Perfect for your voice. "aging Silverado..." "so, I don't say a word, my order is heard."

Love your voice on this. Like 50s American pop song.

So clean! Really rocks. Sounds like your first language is American English.

Great production! Is that all you playing everything?

So clean. Very interesting...I'm missing some of the words tho. What country are you from?

This really creates a world of it's own...

I like how you fit your voice and sentiment into this barren acoustic landscape.
