Quote:
I posted my song ROADS to a Motorcycle forum and go this reaction which I thought was a bit over the top. Being compared to Springsteen, Croce and Prine is a huge compliment and I'm flattered but honestly don't think my song is THAT good: "Wow. You've got a gift. Serious business ,I'm a music nut and after years of seeing music all across this country in some great music towns ( Austin for one,perhaps the best music town left in the States) I'm impressed , reminds in some ways of a young and introspective Springsteen , or the more evocative Jim Croce stuff ,perhaps John Prine in some ways. Get a copy of this to KFAT/KZAP , the mainstream outlets might not play it but they very well may air it. Don't know how much material you have but have you thought of shooting some of it off to Austin City Limits? They don't book just big names , and in Austin you'd go over pretty well. Some venues up this way in the North State too. And if you're ever in Knoxville Tenn. let me know prior ,I know of a club where you'd have half the grizzled riders in the place in tears if you played it. Once again....wow. Brings forth bittersweet nostalgia in a highly evocative way." B.

Sounds great and nice compliments from the guy in Nashville. I like the tone of that Martin HD. That is a heck of a nice sounding guitar in your recordings. Well done!

Sounds great. You might add just a bit of reverb for atmosphere. Thanks for sharing.

Great job. Has a very "Neal Young" feel to it. I don't think it needs a thing. It feels very real and honest. I think the use of any efx would detract from that.
Again - Great Job. Ride safe

BTW, jammed the other night for the first time with a guy I just met who does a lot of Buffet songs. He really likes what I add to the songs and wants to form a duo.

Thanks for listening and commenting again rick! I actually have a bit of reverb in there but I never like to add too much.

Well done, Gil! I love the lyrics and you deliver them with just the right amount of melancholy and soul to enable the listener to imagine a road-worn rider! I really enjoyed that!
