Great Wonderful vocal on this. Your voice is tailor-made for this, and the instrumentation is sweetly done. Lovely playing, outstanding mix, and warm, warm sound. This is a thing of beauty. Nicely done. Peace. |

Nice treatment Jm I need to go listen to Michael's version now, but I like the laid back feel of this version. The Mandolin and Banjo makes me thing of some places here in rural Arkansas where you can almost feel the summertime heat. Around here they call summertime "the air you can wear" because of the humidity Great track Jim and a great recoding and mix. Ed |

Good choice Jim And a really good performance on this. You get such smooth (yet dynamic) mixes, and this is no exception. Playing and singing are top shelf as usual. Makes me feel safe and sound down here listening to the lyrics and reading your reply to Michael's comment. Neil |

Wow! I just listened to the original again and realized it's really got a lot of really cool things in it that I left out. Here it is: http://www.macjams.com/song/44363 and you should check it out if you hadn't already! I thought I stayed pretty faithful to his original, but truth be told, I haven't listened to it since I started working on this. I know I changed the key. It was in G but I thought I'd put it in E since Johnny Cash did a lot of songs in E and I was thinking it would be good to do a sort of Johnny Cash vocal to this, but then of course I realized I didn't have the pipes for that performance and I did it in my normal voice. And then I forgot about changes in instrumental bridge and the extended instrumental part in the ending where michael gets into a little dissonance. My performance is pretty straightforward and sleepily bluegrassy, while michael's is way more personal and psychedelic. Interesting. |

southland A jaunty, lazy, moonshine swig of a tune. I can almost hear the cicadas in the trees. The drum sounds are great, as well as the banjo (which is a regret of mine having never learned to play it--a goal for my years on the porch in old age). Thoroughly enjoyed and immersed in the vibe. Thanks! P |

Knocked out by the fumes It's just ideal, everything fits. Feels like I can almost move around in the auditorium (or rented auction house) as you play it to make my own mix, it's such a clear sound here. Great use of that modern equivalent of the musical iSaw there... floats like a fume. |
..such a good, solid hearty song. Particularily like how the recording really captures the fun your having doing this Jim. Vocals really match that lazy morning, sleepy vibe.
That rhythm, with this instrumentation gave me a slight 'push bike song' (The Mixtures) kinda thang too, in some way..but slower and more laid back... and no cycle noises .. etc. :o)
