mark skinner Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Here's the last song in my "hold" file to finish up. It's time to turn my pc off and my pa on and start writing . Pretty laid back jazz blues style song . I like working in Maj 7. I'm not really sure about a lot of it though, any suggestions would be great. Thanks .. mark https://soundcloud.com/user-810058643/the-blues 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hidden Symmetry Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 (edited) Really enjoyed this. Groove & tasty guitar, harp & vocal work. Brought me back to my days of listening to WJZZ late night in Detroit in the 70's. Great job!

Douglas Kirby Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Very relaxing and smooth - very nice. I liked your lead vocal and the guitar playing was excellent. I liked the harmonica too - always nice to hear in a song. I thought the mix was quite good - plenty of space and depth for each instrument - well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noynekker Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Hi Mark . . . you ever remember or listen to Boz Scaggs ? So, if and when my dream gal' comes over . . . THIS is the song I want to have playing on my stereo. It's a relaxing thing to listen to, and really like when the jamming starts near the ending . . . find myself wanting it to go on . . . I'm ready for the extended version ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark skinner Posted September 7, 2020 Author Share Posted September 7, 2020 This is a giant "Thank You" to everyone who has listened to and for all the Fantastic feedback you've given me. I've gone in a lot of different directions musically , but this is a genre I'm sure I'll revisit. I really like and Need the constructive criticism and suggestions when I post a song , but it was real nice to get one right (or close to right) the first time . Thanks again , you Cakewalkers are great .. mark 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddy j Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Beautiful sounding old school R & B sounding Blues song. The mix is crystal clear, instrumentation is great, and the presentation of the vocals is excellent. Love that harp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
