The Blues

[mark skinner]

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

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!

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.

 I wish my "finished" stuff sounded have as unfinished as this.  Beautiful.

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 !

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

Nice work Mark -- the mix is great and vox are right in the blues pocket as is the instrumentation -- like that bit at the end with the harp -- another good one from you~~Allan.

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.

Very very nice! Great singing technique and awesome voice.  Beautifully produced.
