Everybody is going on about the crispness, the hamonica, the keyboard, the guitar work, the moodyness of the scene of love, the professional sound. Me, I just love your voice. You might say it is the true Voice of Gold. A little high on echo or something, it makes it hard for old ears like mine. Hard, but smoooooooooooooooooth.
Thanks VigWig I appreciate the review! (But to call my voice the true voice of gold?) that might be pushing it ! but man what a complement! thank you sir,thank you very much !

Hi Mr Johnny G, as you know I'm a huge blues fan (Joe Bonamassa is my number 1 listen at the moment), this is a great song true to the blues. Strong lyrics, proper harp playing,original vocal = top tune in my book....
Nice! Don't hear too much classic blues these days. Good song.
I felt that overall this song would benefit from a better production mix. The vocal seems a bit forward. It had an echo-type feel to it that I think would benefit from a more balanced mix. Loved the song/guitar/harmonica. Don't take my comments too seriously. I wouldn't comment if I didn't really like it. :)
Good job!
Well Koble I take all reviews seriously (well most of them, except for the "nice track","good job", reviews! I appreciate it when I can get an honest unbiased opinion,and critique of the music and/or production! this is (to me anyway) what makes Looperman What it is! "Thanks", will try and make some adjustments! ...........G.

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.
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 : Miguel Flores, vocals. Jean-Maurice Humbert-Droz, lead guitars. Laurent Schwaar, guitars. Roland Sumi, bass. Richard Pizzorno, Hammond. Laurent Wirz Drums. Loop from josephfunk (rhodes). Composed by Miguel Flores.
Description : guitar on right run thru my friends mesa rec 25. It has an absolutely gorgeous tone. The guitar playing D, C #, B is run thru guitar rig 6. The the pushed back guitar on the left is also run thru the mesa. My UNC chapel-hill decision letter is coming out tomorrow and I'm super stressed. Whipped out my guitar and recorded some stuff. Hope you like it.
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...
