Good to see you posting Blimey, that's a big moon in the picture. I have seen it go that colour though, which is quite an experience in itself. This is really nice, Neil. It has a gentle and persistent rhythm with those tumbling guitar chords, and the lyrics/vocals fit around it very snugly. |

A new all time fav .. .. of yours Neil. Sorry, I was slow to comment .. I was listening to it several times you see, soaking it up :o) The production is great - is it mastered with anything 3rd party I wondered? I too particularily love the touch the harmonica adds here .. and that change into the chorus/"look at that" ..really sweet. Hard to know where Sil-Ver ended and you took over - apart from the obvious bass, guitar, harmonica and vocals .. I do like the beat and organic percussion. Massimus Jigamus ;o) .. on that note .. here is still the craziest moon I've ever seen... ;o) |

Chord progressions are perfect for your lyrics, Neil. I love everything in this; the lyrics, vocals, harmonica, percussion, everything works together just right. I hope you get to relive the crazy moon feelings this year.:-) |

Ah yes. That's the one. This is great Neil - I think it's amazing you've created a new tune where there was already an existing one. I'm sure I couldn't do it - I'd be locked into the version I knew. Love the harmonica playing too. I must try and find my old D blues harp... |

Crazy Moon I love the way you recorded the guitar. The entrance of the harp n drum nice touch. Your voice/music has become a Macjams signature, .......a good thing! Great recording all around. Bravo I like the flow of the tune it works real well for me. Dig the harp at the fade. tim |

This is a very, very catchy song - that will grow and grow. The harmonica is a wonderful sound (are you playing it?). Excellent in every aspect. Cheers Len |

Always a treat... Who dat, jamn' on the percs... - and then, getting all syncopated on the traps - seasoned w/ a suprisingly impressive blow at the harmonica - thoroughly laced w/ a warm and seeminly, stretched WAY out noodling on the g'tar - wrapped tightly w/ the expected brilliance in wrting - creating a pretty lazy good look/see/hear and feel... - A crazy moon seems like from whence it must've come... Thank you sir, for this morning's sweetness! - It goes well w/ a good first cup of java. Macca |

Vintage Jiguma! Nice flow...gentle grooves...lovely...uplifting...it's all good here! I especially enjoyed the harmonica sections. Be well! |

nice harp tootin' Can't remember you using that much harmonica earlier in your songs... But this sounded like you have done that some times before for sure:) Your steady bass and good acoustic noodling is a winning team. Very good. |

I really like this. It has all the jiguma earmarks, or trademarks, or watermarks. I think it's a really good speaker mix, too; many MacJams tunes, mine included, seem to sound better over headphones, by far, but this one sounds really solid over speakers... a nice, transportable mix... I really like the blend that you get with acoustic guitar, bass and percussion. The additon of so much harmonica here is just so much more of a good thing... This one heads straight to the iPod. I bitterly resent not being able to vote for. And give it high marks that will start arguments. Ed |

Doesn't seem that long ago... but then time has been going by way to fast. Glad you reconsidered posting this alternative version. Great production on top of the playing. And dang that's some great harmonica playing. It's all, well.................crazy good. |

yup.... Neil, the addition of the harp (harmonica-mouth organ, what you will) adds an extra depth to the original you sent me- I had completely forgotten that you played the harp (I'm certain those '2' glasses of white may have had something to do with that...) The guitar work here also seems to be more relaxed & 'constant', or 'consistent' if they're the right words, and creates a lovely 'bed' for the the vocal & harp lines- a really, really nice 'balanced' arrangement is what I'm trying to say. 'K then, back to packing boxes- I really needed a break & listening to this makes the chore much less 'choresome', now that I have a nice melody to 'move' to! :) Cheers Neil! Alf p.s. strings coming your way as soon as possible ;) |

Crazy Nice mystical feel on this song Neil - I enjoyed it. Great harmonica, loved the lyrics, and a strong vocal. Also liked your work with rtcooper on Baleful Waking Morn. Looking forward to hearing more of your songs. Happy Holidays, Alan |

I hear ...... Robbie Robertson in this coooooool tune!!! |
Wasn't too sure to begin with, but it's a grower. Really starts to come together when the harmonica comes in. I like the rolling/repetative nature of the backing track and it is indeed a nice chord progression. Lends the song a kind of dreamy atmosphere which works well.
It's a nice lyric, very evocative and suits the track and your voice (which is always excellent & very distinctive). If I were you I'd rework that first line though - the "pre-sunset" bit is a tad clunky and sounds forced. Not that I can think of anything better of course :-)
Enjoyable listen -
Phil
