Don't be Sorry, Monty! Constructive criticism is exactly what I came here for. Lyrically, I can understand you might think it unsubtle. This trio of songs is an experiment, the first time I've written about anything other than my own experiences. I've purposefully tried to tell a good story in all of them and it definitely is a big departure from previous work where I have been more descriptive and cryptic. I'm going to have another crack at cleaning them up a bit, and adding another section. I'm glad you enjoyed the harmonica and guitar at least. As for the intro, it seems like its half and half on here. I'm going to keep it as long, it'll be more engaging with other instrumentation and the other two songs lyrics start quite abruptly so it will add some variety to the whole package when it's completed.
It's strange I keep getting these Billy Bragg comparisons, he's never someone I've listened dedicatedly too. I'm more of a Dylan and Young kinda guy!
Band wise, I'd just like to get a solid backing with bass and drums and do the electric guitar myself. Anybody that thinks that might interest them, drop me a message.
