Hi Everybody,

This is the sixth track on my new album, "A Gray Colored Sky".  Mixed in Cakewalk by BandLab, and mastered with Ozone 9.  Any comments and critiques are welcome, and thanks for listening.

Correct me if I’m wrong, as we’ve reviewed your work, some classic bands, artists get mentioned. You know what, your style is as unique as any mentioned. I’m digging it brother. I was going to say, “maybe I’d go with a little cleaner tone on that rhythm guitar”; but belay that, its your tune, its you! Fine work Doug, fine work all around.

I think out of all you've posted this is my favorite.  The harmony on the backgrounds are exceptionally nice.

A little bluesier than your other tracks. Love that guitar solo.

Yeah, I'll second JohnB and declare this song as my favorite of yours.

[Douglas Kirby]

DeeringAmps - Thank you very much for listening and your comments.

JohnBee58 - I'm glad you liked it - I appreciate you lending your ears to this one - every now and then I do a jazzy tune like this one.

bjornpdx - Thank you very much for listening, and I'm glad you liked it.

[Wookiee]

I quite enjoyed slightly bluesy funk groove going on, nice.

From the point of view of cool songwriting, vocal delivery, instrumentation, laid-back vibe, picture-painting lyrics, tasteful guitar work, and "holding the listener's interest" - your stuff is as good as I've heard just about anywhere. I'd pay to see you live, and pay to be in your band.

So just a little push for that next level, if there is one for you, is to get more rigid with the tuning between your guitars / bass. Unless you are going for an intentionally detuned chorusey effect across all of your guitars?  And whatever, prolly matters not. It remains extremely listenable and great songs are great songs period.

cheers,

-Tom

Wookiee - Thanks for giving my song a listen - I appreciate it.

emeraldsoul - Thank you very much for your kind comments. Regarding the tuning, it sounds ok to me - I think you have a better ear for tuning than I do.  I used a Snark for the electric guitars and bass guitar - so I thought they were ok. Anyway, thanks for listening to my music.

When I close my eyes and listen to this, I can imagine that I'm in an intimate club, and I can see the stage and hear the musicians right in front of me.  The song is cool and catchy, and the performances feel sincere.  Kudos!

. . . and I could easily be wrong about the tuning. I didn't scope it. Thanks for sharing your excellent songsmithery!

[daryl1968]

I like this one a lot Doug - very cool

[Douglas Kirby]

Lynn - Thank you very much for your comments - yeah, I was thinking it could be in a casino lounge in Vegas?

emeraldsoul - I trust your ears - their good ones - the Snark has a range regarding tuning - should I should be a bit more observant there- anyway - thanks for your comments.

Bajan Blue - Thank you very much for listening.

amiller - Thanks for your comments - it does sound a bit like a smoky nightclub?

daryl1968 - Thanks for giving my song a listen.
