Sweet, John!
Great job - moody and slightly mysterious. I like it a lot. Not sure I'd change a thing.
Peace
Hey John,
One Down 51 to go.
That's the spirit :mrgreen:
Sounding good :D Nice vocal delivery and soloing. The openess/vagueness of the goings on works. It reminds me of then Allman Brothers Band's "Midnight Rider" http://www.lyricsfreak.com/a/allman+brothers+band/midnight+rider_20006504.html
I agree with Dave that the lyrics work well. The only challenge/suggestion would be to see if you could come up with a strong 2 measure musical hook. That's what seems to help songs get stuck in people's minds when the lyrics are a bit more open-ended. Like the Eric Clapton version song mentioned for this week's assignment or the Allman Brothers Band's "Midnight Rider".....Queen's "We will rock you"....AC/DC's "Back in Black"..... etc....
Like Dave said, I wouldn't change anything on what you've got already, but it seems there's a window of opportunity here for icing the cake :wink:
Thanks for sharing.
James
Nice song and mp3.

Thanks Guys
moody and slightly mysterious
I'm glad the mysterious worked. I was slightly worried about that but
every time I tried to explain the back story it came out either contrived
or I started stealing too much from Robert Johnson.

Good challenge/suggestion. I'll have to think on that and see if I can come up with something.

I wouldn't worry too much about it, John - not like nobody's ever pinched a riff or two from RJ before! Personally, I like the ambiguity - I like the fact that I don't know why the singer's 2000 miles from home, I don't know what the little thing he has to do is - I like the fact I can use my imagination and kind of fill my own story in.
MP3's pretty good too - voice and guitar work well together. Now whatcha goin' do next week when it ain't the blues, boy?
Good song, John!
:D :D :D
