I Call Out Your Name

[Keith Wilby]

Shameless bubble gum pop time, complete with throw-away lyrics and a bassline knicked from Macca's "My Brave Face" ?

New mix with organ and bongos

I like it!  There is nothing wrong with a little bubble gum, even though i don't consider it that.

I could hear the original The Honeydrippers doing this one!

Great tune, IMO

Hey the Beatles wrote a lot of bubble gum hits too.  Good job, another hooky tune.

I like it!  Kinda Beatle-ish to me.  Middle 60's vibe.    This tempo and song style is very shag dance style friendly.   If you up the tempo I think the song would still work, and then it would start sounding bubblegumish I think.   The wide spaced background vocals really sound amazing!

It's totally OK to put out bubble gum pop - the world needs more - this sounds really good.  I actually even heard a little Todd Rundgren in there (I saw the light).  Good show!

up the tempo

Thank for your comments Michael. Sometimes I feel it's a little slow, and my wife says the arrangement is "flat", so rather than speeding it up and having to sing it all again I'm going to try punctuating the arrangement a bit first, maybe an organ or something. Failing that then I'll try a faster tempo.

Nothing ``shamless´´ about this song as long as you dont dance around in yer underpants like kylie , loved the break , backing vocals hit the spot . nice one..

[Lynn Wilson]

Terrific song and performances!  This may just be me, but I'd like to hear the lead vocal up a few db's.  Otherwise, this is a hit waiting to happen.
