Bjorn, Funny thing- it never occurred to me to copy the original. I definitely was interested in putting my spin on this great tune. A good song can be interpreted a lot of different ways. And thanks for your specific comments about vocal processing- I will have them in mind when I remix/remaster. Cheers, Bert

rs, Thanks for the listen and your kind words. Bert

Barman, bring me a double-shot of Bulleit95 and a longneck PBR !

Rex, This gentle track exudes warmth. I like that. A light touch on every note, played or sung. Very unique sound you have here. Cheers, Bert

Thanks for listening to both versions and giving me your take, Noy. I thought all the crits I got with the first version were good and I tried to fix them. Yeah, I did bring up the vocal a bit, hopefully without losing the drive of the instrumental section. Thanks, Bert

Thanks for listening, Nigel. Cheers, Bert

Nigel, WOW Strong. professional video and track. I didn't find anything offensive about the vid. The only crit I have is that the vocal gets drowned out here and there by the instrumental and I couldn't follow the lyrics. Great stuff overall. Cheers. Bert

That is exactly what I had in mind : a version you might hear late at night in a blues club, Lotsa smoking and drinking, etc. Thanks for listening., Bert

Remix bump

David, Thank you ever so much for your kind words. I was kind of fooling around with vocal processing chains and such. and it it does sound like a different lead singer on the chorus than on the verses. I am glad to hear that you think it worked. I gave the vocals only a whiff of reverb, but I will consider your suggestion when I remix/remaster and repost. And thanks for the props for From Tupelo to Memphis. I recorded that one almost twenty years ago in a studio, and I've shopped it anywhere and everywhere and no interest. Go figure, it sounds like a hit to me. Good thing I have a day job. Cheers, Bert

Love the jazzy tabla groove and the GTR improv. Great guitar sound and tone. You be jammin' mon! Cheers, Bert

David, Really nice composition, here. Very deft recording and playing. Remarkable virtual instrument sounds. I wish I could do that. Cheers, Bert

Really cool, jazzy instrumental. Nice light touch and warm tone on the GTR. Good stuff. Cheers, Bert

Lynn, Thank you very much for your kind words. And thanks for noticing the vocal delivery. Lately I've been trying to sing more expressively. This song resonates with me and I think you can hear that. (pro tip : vocal performance was facilitated by a few freezer shots of Bulleit 95 Rye between takes) Cheers, Bert

Very good tune and performance. Nice kaleidoscopic about London sights and sounds. Yes, the lyrics are hard to hear at times. Cheers, Bert

Moog nirvana, here. Bright and upbeat D major lines. I like it. Cheers, Bert

Thanks for the listen, Baps. I think you are right. I'll remix soon and repost. Bert

Hi Marcello. I am trying to learn about mastering my self, so my comments aren't necessarily valid by any stretch. And I've never tried to mix/master a beast like you have, here. Cool instrumental, in any case. But the track overall sounds over compressed. I would like to take GTR's down a notch and up the levels of the drums, which sound muffled. My 2 cents. Cheers. Bert

My mixing, mastering, and vocal processing ears are worn out at this point. Any comments and/or observations about those aspects of this project will be appreciated. https://www.soundclick.com/music/songInfo.cfm?songID=14282338 Cheers, Bert

Cool instrumental. I love the tone and effects on your guitar. The rythm section sounds good with a good bass line. The drums could stand to mix it up a bit. You be jammin' good, mon. Cheers, Bert

Very relaxing music. Thanks, L needed that. Cheers, Bert

Breezy pleasurable, gliding instrumental. Nice GTR interplay. Enjoyed it. Cheers, Bert

I really like this tune. Great distorted. droning GTR groove. The vocal cuts through just so . Maybe just back out the of the bass a tad. Cheers, Bert

Fun ride, here. You definitely nailed that 80's techno beat. As for mixing and mastering, I have been watching the Creative Sauce series on YouTube and 'Mike' explains in detail how to do a recording project from start to finish on Cakewalk. Cheers, Bert

I do a bit of music meditation myself and the first half of this piece works well for me. Cheers, Bert
