Nice one! Good sound, I find this a great and unusual mix of blues and hip hop. Good guitar and bass sound

Of course, I completely agree! Repetition is very important for a song. It is also crucial to use boundaries, additions and conscious deviations in songwriting. When used correctly and purposefully, these elements highlight and support the repetitions and bring them into a new musical context.
I'll listen to the links when I get a chance. Until then, I wish you a nice rest of the weekend.

My weekend is over haha. I write this from my 9-5. It was a good weekend though, played golf twice and got some good rest.

Can't wait for your reaction on the podcast!

The idea of combining blues with rap or hip hop is quite interesting and seems to work. However, the song unfortunately gets a bit lost in repetitions as it progresses. A small but noticeable deviation could counteract this, such as a brief change in pitch that then returns to the original flow. This is just a personal suggestion. The mix and mastering are definitely successful, and I also find the basic idea of the song appealing.
Kind regards, Manuela

My range is not great... Lol but yes I agree changing the pitch could add to the product. Currently I'm a one man army on the vocals and lyrics.

I think repetition is a needed part to any song. In some form yuh know? I am glad the song could appeal to your senses in some way. Listen to S1 - T.S.a.A. Blackjack: Ep 1 - Part 1: The Blue Glow - Part 1 by Johnnie Smoke on #SoundCloud

Here are the first two parts to episode one of my podcast. I hope to open the forum for many down the line. To express themselves and make the world a better place. I think you will enjoy the product over there. I did the piano and everything else. I need to record part 3.

Thanks for the comment! All love!

Description : Of all the classic Monster tales the Wolfman is definitely one of the saddest. Cursed, and destined to live as both man and monster. During the day he sits alone with his guitar, a prisoner of lonely existence, crying his heart out through his music. Then at night, the beast emerges, and in the dark under a full moon, he cry's as he rips the hearts out of his victims! Such is the life of a cursed bluesman!

Description : This is a tune dedicated to my friend, Nancy, who followed me to the clubs I played at for years, and is still following me with my studio work. Why do I dedicate this to her? Onnacounta cause she's soooooo naughty! She never liked violins, but loved her sax! Here's to you, Nancy. Anyway, this is a little blues track with some nice guitar and sex...oh, sorry, I mean sax.

Enjoy and download away.

Description : A sultry, seductive, and fairly short acoustic blues number. It is an instrumental and only took about 2 hours to write, record, and get a decent mix. Enjoy! Updated: I added some slight echo to the electric guitar and widened the stereo fields of the acoustic rhythm and leads.

Description : Fresh out of the studio after 10 weeks of deliberating, planning, writing and performing.
This could be classed as Country Blues or Southern Rock...either way I think it may get your toes tapping. So grab your partner and jump on the dance floor with this one.
I am performing the following instruments...vocals, electric guitars, slide acoustic, bass, harmonica, organ. I wrote the following instrument parts in MIDI....drums, percussion, piano, horns. This was a beast to master but I think it turned out okay.
No loops used.

Description : UPDATE 26/01/2014: Improved loads of things in what is probably my greatest chillout alternative blues piece. Ambient, ethereal, groove-based delta slide blues. Contemplative and melodic. Multiple, layered , sometimes shimmering resonator guitar parts with solid, warm synth bass, an ethereal bed of pads (which are actually guitars) and second electronic drumkit to contrast the acoustic kits. I thought this was perfect a few years ago but it wasn't (and still isn't). Now has clearer drums and lots of small awkward bits of guitar have been trimmed. Quite a minimalistic and short piece for me - I don't just keep bringing in new instruments, as I usually do. This should really chill you out...
