Thanks, David. Yeah, you don't really want to hear the real story behind "Angry Girl."

Thanks for listening, Will!

Larry, like I said I posted this a long while ago on the old forum so it's likely that you have heard it. It's gone through some polishing since then with bits and pieces being re-worked, all in CbB, so I thought I'd post it here to celebrate my putting this one to bed finally. The drums are Addictive Drums with midi bits stolen from various midi paks available from XLN, with a lot of hand tweaking on my part here and there. Drums and bass are the toughest parts to get right and the XLN midi paks are done by human drummers and that makes all the difference. I appreciate you taking the time to listen and comment, thanks!

Thanks, Dan! Tommy Tutone, eh? Hey, Steve Miller, Tommy Tutone, whatever, I'll take it.

Really dig your music, a bit of a breath of fresh air. I gave a listen to several of your songs and all of them were great. Loved the Marley cover! Mixes are all really nice to my somewhat battered ears. I'll be back to listen to the rest soon.

Love the sparse arrangement and great vocals with clever lyrics, as always. Very fine work!

Thank you, Lynn, I appreciate your feedback, particularly about my voice. Its been a very long road to get from hideous wailing to something I'm not too ashamed to post. And I still have a long way to go. The guitars are all direct recorded into Guitar Rig 5. I also own S-Gear and Helix Native and Overloud TH3, and I like them fine, but I I love Guitar Rig 5. I just find it easy to get good tones out of it. Thanks!

Thank you, kind Wookiee.

John, I'm grateful to you for listening, and I thank you for the nice comments. Yup, I do like Steve Miller a lot. I used "Living in the USA" as one of two reference tracks for the mix. Strangely enough, I used Atlanta Rhythm Section's "Champagne Jam" for the second one. I didn't come anywhere close to either one of those but I got a vibe I liked and that's enough for me.

Thanks for the kind feedback, Bob! That say a lot coming from the master of great vocals, harmonies, arrangements and mixes, I'm humbled!

Killer and the lyrics hit too close to home for comfort. Great video too! The mix is sublime and your playing is first rate.

Great stuff, really takes me back to my glory days. If this had been released in 1973 you'd have gone to straight to arenas. Really fantastic!

I guess I posted this song a few years ago on the old forum and I've reworked the mix and some instrumentation in this new version and I'd thought I'd make it my first post in the new songs forum. Let me know what you think! https://www.bandlab.com/kevinwal/angry-girl-05473 Updated: We'll I've re-worked the mix, trying to take into account the great feedback I've gotten. The same link above should take you to the new version. I've fixed some things that have always bugged me about the original mix and there are other things that I'm unsure about, so I'd appreciate just a little more of your ear-time and comments on what's there now. Thanks again for everyone's great comments!

Sounds great to me, real Leon Russell vibe happening there.

Agree!

Great! Really well done, enjoyed this a lot! The only nit I have is that because you're going for that 60's wall of sound thing, your lead vocals are bit too forward and a bit too high fi. But that's just a niggly little thing. This is a really good version of this tune, you should be proud of it.

I'm here, love rock. Some metal. Im on bandlab too. https://www.bandlab.com/kevinwal
