I love this! It's got kind of a sad but still happy vibe. I'd love to hear a longer version.

Who are these holes of asses? Well, I was expecting something really bad. I was pleasantly pleased by this one. Nice chill sound man. Great job and respect for rocking some hybrid-style country.

Cheers!

I'd try adding some strings to spice the progression up a little bru. Nice, melodic piece.

sublime simplicity, at least on the face of it. it does all it needs to, tugs at the heart strings with an uplifting sadness. well thats what i think anyway :)

that’s the crucial thing with me is fighting the urge to overplay — things start going right, i get excited, now it’s all fucked up. and a loopstation’s unforgiving. so your comment means a lot!

Precioso tema amigo Mike, con mucho sentimiento, de los que te llegan al corazón. Esas guitarras te cuentan una historia, más que triste lo veo tierno, romántico para bailar lento, abrazado a la persona que más quieres. Me gusta ese sonido envolvente, intimista, es muy adecuado para vivir y disfrutar de esa intimidad. Otro enorme trabajo querido amigo, que tengas un buen día compañero. Salud y paz.

Ballad of an asshole...Hmmm must be some Ballad because it sure doesn't sound like it, judging by this you certainly captured something spectacular!...sounds lovely this has those heart pulling elements similar but not the same obviously as the gentlemen sir robin (CF) has running through his music. Nonetheless this is very good! work here as always. Pulchra Musica.

hello ms. A of the everchanging avatar! (you’re a bit of a Scheherazade!) haha, i am that good sir’s squire, i know all about him but i can’t talk here…
err i mean how flattering, really!
i’m so happy to hear your latest tracks, you are just as magic as your avatar, seemingly appearing at will in any musical setting you choose and playing hell out of it. i’ve had the good fortune to chat a bit with mickey/monkwee and he’s been a big fav so i was so surprised and happy. to catch that collab, he must be really chuffed!

Hi xstokes, really nice guitar; I like when the melody bends a bit here and there; overall sounds warm and chilled. Nice job.

Description : It was a long winter here, at Dartmoor. 4 Month of continued rain and damp. And suddenly (Drummroll), the sun came back. That did remind me of a collaboration with Silver Bella and her Acapella "Keep the Faith" from last year. A positive song which could have the potential to make a difference to the day. Thanks SB :-)

Description : This is my first serious attempt at a country song.
I am playing all instruments except for the drums....they are MIDI.
The song allowed me the opportunity to try my son-in-laws 1981 Gibson J40 acoustic, my new Dean Resonator Guitar and my new harmonica.
I hope you enjoy.

Description : HEY FOLKSES!! Yep, we are still working on the album. This is another track we are working on. It is just a scratch version, not complete, has more work yet to do on it, and the vocals will have to be re-layed. So no need to comment on the quality. I'm uploading it to show we are still hard at work! LOL. The track is a little bit POP, a little bit Country, a little bit Rock. Enjoy!
