  1. Hi Old Joad. Thanks very much for listening. You got the call on the amp right. If I remember correctly, I used the Amplitude 5 Bassman amp plugin along with my beat up Norma semi-hollow body guitar with the rusty pickups. I'm getting closer to the sound of that era - now I just have to work on the style (love that style love that sound). I was going for that rough, loose sound that you might hear in the clubs of that era --- especially those on the Chitlin Circuit, like right here in Tampa's Central Ave. Thanks again. Hi Jack. Thanks for listening and commenting. Much appreciated. Hi Lynn. You are much to kind but the encouragement is much appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to listen and comment my friend. Thank you Daryl1968. The vocals were pre-Covid. My tired old vocal chords are finally starting to return from the CoVid experience. Thanks again for listening and commenting.
  2. What a fun and entertaining song and video. I love the intro (music) and the ukulele riffs through out. The video was fun and informative but the process much beyond my abilities. Very Nice Work!
  3. Great rocker, mix, and excellent performance. I echo Lynn's comments above!
  4. Tried to listen but couldn't find the link?

    Uber Alles

    I was expecting a cover of the Dead Kennedy's song - Uber Alles (one of my favourite USA punk groups). Even though this song was not - it was equally entertaining. Sounds great!

    Bad Dog

    Nice Jazzy sounds. The sax is my favourite reed instrument and you make it sound good. The fretless bass also sounds good. Great work on a most pleasant song.
  8. Here is a short, silly song about gossip the grapevine and mostly about listening. It picks up on the Sonny Boy Williamson 2 song -Don't Start Me To Talking. It offers just a wee bit of social observation. In my last song I was trying to reproduce the sound of the amps used by the old Blues and Jump Blues performers primarily in the south side of Chicago. Hopefully, I got a bit closer on this song. It is a bit rough. That is not only my lack of talent but I also was trying to replicate the sound of that era. As always, I will be grateful for any crits., comments, and suggestions. Thanks THEY ALL TALKING https://www.soundclick.com/freddyj
  9. I echo the comments above -- this is really a very pleasant enjoyable song. You really have been posting some very good songs recently! I did miss your videos on this one. 🙂 Good stuff my friend!
  10. This is a very enjoyable, and pleasant song. I liked the change around 1;27. The mix sound good! Well done!

    Earth To Earth

    One of your more interesting songs. Clever guitar work in the introduction and through out certainly kept me listening. I like the vocals -a wee bit of "verb" never hurts. I enjoyed the listen Jack
  12. Great number -- both parts one and two -- lead by a great composition and great performances by all involved. Part one was very pleasant and enjoyable and I also enjoyed the uptempo Latin tinged sounds of part 2. I also enjoyed the video particularly the immediate introduction with the time piece running fast and the the person in slow motion. You can always tell when a drummer is having a good time and enjoying themself. It looked like the drummer in your video was certainly enjoying himself. Well done!
  13. Bajan Blue: Hi Nigel. Thanks for taking the time to listen and comment. BTW, I just listened to your recent post --- it was absoflippinlutely excellent! Hi Lynn. It is great to be back on the forum. Thanks for listening and for the feedback. I also just listened to your new post. I think that it is your best yet! It is a most impressive piece of work! Well done pal! Hey Wookie. The old viral infected vocal cords are still a bit messed up. So, no re-do on the vocals right away. I really appreciate your listening and taking the time to comment. Thanks. Hi Bjorn. The background singers are just an artifact of the members of the fictitious Freddy J and the Good Guys.🙂 I was trying to get that scratchy sound of the amps used by the Blues guys back in the late forties and early fifties. Not quite there but getting there. Thanks very much for listening and for your kind comments! Hey Daryl1968. Doing better -thanks! I appreciate the listen and your kind comments. BTW, listened to your recent post and loved it!
  14. WOW! To say that this is impressive would be a gross understatement. The video, the composition, arrangement, instrumentation and performances, vocals and background vocals are all excellent. The bass really drives this song along and sets up a mood. Oops, I almost for got the lyrics --- great. You set the standard pal!
  15. What a powerhouse of a song. Yes the guitar work is great - as i s the bass. The arrangement and timing used in the song was creative and doggone good! Your vocals and harmonies were equally as good. The lyrics were excellent and very poignant for today. I always enjoy the "additions" that you include in your songs. Excellent work and well done pal!
  16. What a powerhouse of a song. Great performances, mix/master, vocals, arrangement, etc. Great job on the lyrics as well -- I enjoyed the tongue-in-cheek humour.

  21. Hi Jack C. Thanks very much for the kind words. Much appreciated!! I've enjoyed catching up on your recent posts. Hi tom. Thanks very much for your encouragement and kind words. As to your quote -- it is the personification of the Blues. Hey Old Joad. Thanks very much for taking the time to listen. I appreciate the kind words. Hey Makke. Thank you very much. I enjoyed listening to your recent post "Four Guitar Instrumental".
  22. In my absence from the forum I missed hearing your songs. However, I listened to this song ,and now "Ford is in his flivver" and the world seems better!
  23. A fun tune indeed. The guitar playing is excellent as is the bass work. Oh yes, lets not forget the wonderful Blues "harp" work!
  24. This really captures the retro sound of the post New Wave era. The mix is perfect as is the instrumentation. Interesting lyrics and your vocals are outstanding! Excellent stuff!
  25. As usual -- everything is top notch on this number. This is some good hard rocking! Excellent guitar work and yes, the vocals also! Good luck on the album! Love the ending piece!
