The ULTIMATE... *Southern Man* you are, Neil. I mean you are about as South as it gets down under. ;) This is a good old-fashioned good-time knee-slapper with some really good musicianship. I had a bit of a hard time placing the Southern accent of the singer, but decided it must be... Arkansaus. ;) --- Joe |

Great Song Neil This one is infectious. It makes you want to get and dance. Love the mix of instruments you put together. That banjo is just Killer my friend. Hell the whole track is Killer for that matter. Outstanding song, performance, and mix my friend, Great job Ed |

All right.... ... now this is what I'm talking about! I love this, Neil. You are on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry and I am enjoying the whole thang. Kudos for a fun and well done song. Great lyrics. Jack |

Still my favorite I believe this was the very first song of yours heard by my ears. It was enough to make me a fan at that point. Neil... what can I say- I just love this song... and would even if your made it into a speed metal version. Okay- might be stretching but you get the point. It did seem like your voice was buried in the music somewhat at times.. I'd have liked it more upfront. In any case, however, a fine rendition of this great song! |

Man..... Gee Neil, you've been busy. This is mixed really well. I really like the addition of the mandolin, fiddle, and banjo. I can hear a high harmony part also but I am also incapable of singing such high harmonies that sound decent. This is a knee-slapper indeed! Yee-haw!! |

Sorry, but .. .. a general thank you will have to suffice here. I really appreciate the positive comments you have all made. Bluegrass is a favourite genre for me, and I had an absolute ball making this. Lots of the loops (banjo, fiddle and mandolin) came from Logic Studio, and I enjoyed trying to get the fit right. I also had a killer pedal steel track which is languishing on the studio floor. The main reason I'm not able to answer each comment (which I usually try to do) is that my new iMac and Logic Studio are just too hard to leave alone. The potential is enormous (as is the learning curve). Although I'm only scraping the surface, I'm already feeling like I have a number of new directions open to me. The extensive midi drum loops will be coming to headphones or speakers near you soon (not to mention synths and strings and all sorts of goodies I've discovered). Thanks again for the comments - I genuinely appreciate every one of them. Cheers from Oz, Neil |

Reminds me of the first two Eagles albums... ...when Bernie Leadon was still in the group and a force to be reckoned with. Songs like 'Earlybird' and 'Twenty-One', which are unfortunately overlooked these latter years... I can really hear that spot where a high harmony could go... Neat song, nicely sung and played, and the 'artificial' instruments mesh nicely in the overall mix... Ed |

Uptempo coolness Most of the instrumental part of this song sounds pretty authentic. But, eh, close miking of the vocals is definitely not bluegrass. The more old-timey bands will play, both in the studio and in concert, with everyone standing around a single microphone. Your recording sounds a bit too contemporary. But apart from that this is great stuff. |

Neil, are you sure you're not secretly from Texas? Sheesh, you are amazing! you play so excellently and the lyrics and vocals are perfect for the "Opry. Kudos for the first entry- what an act to follow! :-)
