Not gonna lie

I loved this, the way it is right now!

I suggest to keep it as raw as it turned out gives it a very down to earth quality

enjoyed it alot

Hi Jim,

Like the bluesy feel of the guitars. I like the vocal arrangement, but not so sure about the echo effect on the vocal. I tend towards the gruff, blues vocals. Lyrics are good ol' blues based. Some harmonica would be nice in there.

Overall good tune.

Hey Jim,

i'm lovin your stuff. The verse in particular in this, with that 'moneyesque' guitar riff.
I don't like giving specific suggestions cos it's so subjective.
But for me, the strummed guitar pattern halts the flow a bit

little reverb on the voice would also be something to try, a la Mr E from Eels?

(sorry, just reread that, change to 'a little less reverb')

but i really did enjoy this
 :)

Jim - I really like this - your best song for me

Could be a little tighter during the acoustic part but thats a minor grumble

I really like this ;D

Hi Jim,

Really enjoyed this one, and your singing is is excellent.  I have to agree about the chorus, it flows so sweetly and then the chorus interrupts the flow, don't know if that was your intention, but I just want more of that laid back lazy feel ...let it continue!!!  8)

Best wishes
