| BEWARE OF THE GENIUS by Barretok | 6 hours ago |
| This is one of your most punk/Stonesy pieces, Bern - that beat is undeniable. | |
| Time After Time by Dylan | 6 hours ago |
| Sweet guitar tone, bro - and you strike the right quirky vocal balance that made Chilton the guru to Westerberg. | |
| Drop Your Pa_______ (risqué title!) (demo) by robotpantyraid | 6 hours ago |
 Great to hear live stuff - this is real raw retro garage post modern punky attitudeanal awesomeness. Primal and ballsy and an awesome trio performance. |
|
| FIELDS OF WHEAT by Barretok | 27 days ago |
| I always enjoy reading the legions of Icomp artists who value your artistry and friendship here. Dylan's comment rings home for me though - you are indeed a very cinematic songwriter - things unfold in your music and verse with such rising action and denoument if I may borrow a bit from Dylan's native tongue. | |
| Bluebird by Dylan | 27 days ago |
| Perfect folk blues. | |
| No One There by mbehar | 27 days ago |
| Sublime cabaret. | |
| Barracuda (Heart Cover) by lifeaftersix | 27 days ago |
| This tune will always make me young! Rock on brother and sister. | |
| Shoreline by brnPetra | 27 days ago |
| You two together always hypnotize me into a wistful stupor. I smile to picture you both together smiling pulling this off. | |
| Devilish Eyes & Trembling Thighs by ClayPotts | 27 days ago |
This is why I hang on every note you sing - because they are worth hangin' on to. You strike the perfect balance between Fagan and Boz Scaggs - with Ray Charles swagger. |
|
| Just Friends by georgeptingley | 27 days ago |
The tempo choice is daring up front but it settles in just right. Your playing is always masterful. The brushes sound a bit too bright and loud - I want a bit more of that bass and the drums in the back of the bandstand. |
|
| Not Quite Forgotten by Storkaas | 27 days ago |
Perfect combination of your funky and lounge side. You are always dripping with soul and suave! |
|
| Green Eyes by PowerMatt | 27 days ago |
Your songs like these were a huuuuuggggeee part of me wanting to be a part of this place. So cool to see you back with perfect psychedelic garage. And with Borris and Sarah - just heaven for me. Great descending guitar hook - very reminiscent for me to my local heros Cheap Trick. |
|
| Sidewalk Highway by Baboon | 2 months ago |
You had me with the pic of the Big Wheel. I burned through the plasticene tires of a few of those dogs. Could even pull off a 360 with enough speed and the hand brake on the rear tire. This song brings it back to about '74 for me. Great to hear all of you together again. Ding dong ditch, ghost in the graveyard and bomb pop popsicles. I feel the loss of innocence in this writing and performance with the same angst that Quadrophenia brings. |
|
| Dangerous Fall by Beatnikers | 3 months ago |
| The beat work is tight - I love the way you build all the vocal yearning. The usual brilliance in your vocal talents - great to hear your harmonies again. | |
| Check It Out featuring nlsn and MusicLeft by morgan102 | 3 months ago |
| I am infected by the soul of this - it hums like a Ray Charles tune! | |
| Autumn Leaves by fatchance | 3 months ago |
| Always a joy to hear your guitar- your vocals have that Leon Redbone warmth. Pardon the pun, but I like the "spring" you put into this. Some drag this tune down - I like the way you kept it churning. | |
| Creole Love Call by dirigent | 3 months ago |
| I love when American Jazz gets the treatment of your perfect German acapella talents. Love your trombone. | |
| Hang Down Your Head by Dylan | 3 months ago |
| Yes, Dyl and Waits - like bourbon and coke, mashed potatoes and gravy, sex and cigarettes. | |
| That's What You Get by jkane | 3 months ago |
| Both of you are beacons in my nights - you sexy Holiday angels. 5 years of musical truth from both of you - thanks for that! | |
| Where d'you hide the spliff ? by Dylan | 3 months ago |
| Call me late to the toke - any roaches left to burn? I love the way this wafts all over like billows of smoke. | |
| JIMMY JIMMY (w/ Taylormade) by MickD | 3 months ago |
Fuuhhhhggggggheeedddaboutit - this is all that and a bag of chips. Great funkbros work - and this young lady - well, this young lady is a pro with talent to burn. |

| ALL FOR YOU (w/ Taylormade) by MickD | 3 months ago |
| I gots to find a way to play this on a transistor radio so I can be young again.... | |
| 69 SUMMER (w/ Taylormade) by MickD | 3 months ago |
I saw this earlier in the week and had to wait until I had ultimate fidelity to listen. Worth it - captures it for me. Belting like Aretha, yes - but more Tina for me with the psychedelia. I want to be one of the go go girls dancing in the cage to this. Can I do that? |
|
| State of the Art by Dave M | 3 months ago |
| Whoa, I missed this last week. Dave - your vocals are the best rock pipes here. And your fretwork is balls to the wall my friend. | |
| Falling by Dave M | 3 months ago |
Very tough indeed. It feels so analog to me - like it was all recorded back in about 78. Angela's harmonies are so tight. Great track playing by all of you - your guitars always remind me of Gary Moore, Dave - you let 'er rip so well. |
|
| albatross by Xolv | 3 months ago |
| Dude, this is so solid. I loved hearing your description of the way things went down considering I remember recording things on a walkman and bouncing tapes to tapes to get a few tracks down. I love the bell chimes and your guitar is always so beautiful in tone. Through all these years you have a very Jeff Beck pristine tone that is gorgeous. | |
| She'll Never Be The Girl That I Want Her To Be (But She'll Always Be The Girl That I Want) by zallaz | 3 months ago |
I too caught this on phones and can't help but say, damn, Kev, you got every bit of Ray Davies out of this. I love how you found a way to fit every syllable in that you wrote. |

| Guitar Johnny Rides Again by bingsolex | 3 months ago |
| Yeeeeee Haaaaawwww - this cowboy has to saddle this up for his car. | |
| You Like to Lie (Flu Mix) by MIR | 3 months ago |
| Missed this earlier - Mirco - you have a great production talent and it shows boldly here. Great vocal work as always by Naaaaaa | |
| Honor In Friendship..... by Soundhound | 3 months ago |
| I think everyone around here can learn from and grow within Tony's natural groove talents - I know I do everytime I hear him lay it down. Great work by all of you on this. | |
| Shades of the Moon II by DikaFlow | 3 months ago |
| This trip acid jazz spoken word beauty takes cool turns. | |
| Call it the Blues (Open Collab, vocals?) by awannabepoet | 3 months ago |
| This is down and dirty roadhouse - really love the ZZ Texas feel here. | |
| The Farmer and the Nightingale by mfwmiles | 3 months ago |
| I think the "quirky" elements of your recording style give a unique original voice to your tunes. The kind of unique feel that Buddy Holly had - very much his own just like yours is yours, if that makes sense! | |
| Make it with you (cover) by Vixen | 3 months ago |
| This song brings back so many memories of summer car rides with the windows down. Your voice is so serene and relaxed as it should be on this classic. | |
| The Ghost of Tom Joad (Bruce Springsteen cover) by robby_reverb | 3 months ago |
| A great interpretation - I am a huge Bruce fan as you might tell. | |
| Stay the Night with Me by Naaji | 3 months ago |
| You always convey a provocative warmth. | |
| You by pharmakeus | 3 months ago |
| This is so meditative and a great interlude to introspection. | |
| A Woman In Your LIFE... by RedthruNthru | 3 months ago |
| A great theme for Thanksgiving and the Holidays - we all need the warmth of a woman in one way or another. | |
| Shangri-La by k6 | 3 months ago |
| So cool to hear you both sing with your feet in the sand at the water's edge. Cool guitar work - love the bite on the tone. | |
| hottrack by eagle | 3 months ago |
| This is so loungey but like an outdoor Parisian cafe. | |
| Crush by Tribrix | 3 months ago |
| I love the driving descending riff that you build this around. Has a cool high school feel to it - like it belongs in a John Hughes movie. | |
| JazzBlues and others good words by MusicLeft | 3 months ago |
| Love the swingin' feel to this - the art is so brilliant colored too. | |
| HERE & THERE by Barretok | 3 months ago |
| The undisputed heavy weight champion of the worldly - yes you are. | |
| She's All I Want by BossHook | 3 months ago |
| And the picture was from that nite - taken by Mary Claire Parsons. | |
| FLY WITH ME by KCsGROOVE | 3 months ago |
| That's one tight groove, KC. I like that you let it hang so well with the horns. | |
| Driven to Tears (Police cover) by pete | 3 months ago |
| Whoa, this brings me back. You nailed the time. Like your guitar tones too! | |
| Hey Little Boy by khu | 3 months ago |
Very cool piano ballad, well written, performed and the harmonies are sweet. I get a Harry Nilson, Dennis DeYoung, Rufus Wainwright, even Roger Waters vibe off this! |
|
| Crying for Africa by pharmakeus | 4 months ago |
| Great use of synths and beats with your guitar. The airiness of the synth sounds and drum programming is so spot on to African pop sensibilities that I discovered through bands like Third World. | |
| Father Help Me by Naaji | 4 months ago |
| I agree with Bern - this feels so 80's right to me. I'm on my knees, okay? | |
| HOW WOULD I KNOW by SISTERS | 4 months ago |
| Folky sublime and wonderful - reminds me of the best Fogelberg and Pure Prairie League. Nice tight but loose harmony singing, if that makes sense. | |
| En Annan Verklighet by brnPetra | 4 months ago |
| There's both a comfort and abandon in the song and in the way you two work together. I like how it opens up into a nice big chorus. |
|
| TIME TO CLAP (Sit On My Lap) by Barretok | 4 months ago |
| I like how this rides on the rims. Great poetic work and fabulosos groans, baby. | |
| Just Bumps In The Road.....Open Collab... by Soundhound | 4 months ago |
| The guitar shivers with soul - Bobby Bland keeps popping into my mind when I hear this. It's also a very intricate and complicated melody structure. Works so well in your hands. | |
| PerenniaL by yosL | 4 months ago |
| A chill in the air here really puts me in the mood for such super chill low-fi jazz feel. Not over done - and such an effective use of that funky guitar. | |
| Soul Flamenco Fantasy by Telemetry | 4 months ago |
| The soundscape you work with here is alluring and at times the "off-tone" jazz feel takes this out very nicely. | |
| Terra do Potiguara by MishaThaler | 4 months ago |
| The live water sounds really set this up. Very cool synth work. I personally would have loved to hear that water throughout the piece as a cool undertow to the sound work. | |
| A Flat Ain't Funny by mbehar | 4 months ago |
| Oh yeah - this is stompin' good. Felt like a Lionel Hampton vibe. The ending is so Guaraldi - at least this approaching Holiday season reminds me of his trio stuff. Love how you stretch out on all the instruments but keep it tight, if you know what I mean. | |
| come and get it by j0j0 | 4 months ago |
| What a cool pickin' ramble. Has that Easy Rider feel to it - I kept picturing Dennis Hopper cruisin' down a southern road on his bike. | |
| My Man Picker's Broken by RedthruNthru | 4 months ago |
| You have such a Nashville music row writer's attitude - always ready with a clever lyric. You always perform with a classic Opryland spirit too. I love this. | |
| I've Got A Crush On You - Reload by RubyDubidoux | 4 months ago |
| You are so relaxed within yourself that you combine sexy with class - and that is sooooooo hot. | |
| You're Like Whiskey by BossHook | 4 months ago |
| Thanks again everyone! |
|
| Stand by Me_Reggae by pharmakeus | 4 months ago |
| There's always room for more of Stand By Me - especially on the calypso side! |
|
| Flawed Character by Chordwainer | 4 months ago |
| This is fantastic - reminds me of Paul Brady. | |
| You're Like Whiskey by BossHook | 4 months ago |
| Thanks all for real assessment and fun. The ending got clipped in the master and I kinda liked the screeching halt. The actual ending is a hard stop too but not this hard. Very cool to be back around with all of you - I've heard so much good music lately. |
|
| Shine a Light by Steve_Scott | 4 months ago |
| I like that you are going for live band recordings - the live element is where it's at. | |
| State Trooper by Dylan | 4 months ago |
| You took a dark rainy night, and made it even darker and wetter in your version. Only you can do that - without fail - all the time - with that nylon 6 string and your velvet throat. As we say here in the States - I think I have a bromance going with you, lol. |
|
| TOGETHER (REMIX) by SoulSurvivor | 4 months ago |
| To me, playing drums is such an organic talent that it seems to me to be sooooo difficult across the internet wires. I think you always find a way to bring the instruments together with your drums to make it feel like you are in the same room playing. | |
| Keep Me Warm Tonight by guitar55 | 4 months ago |
I am sucker for piano - B3 conversations. Love it. |
|
| Suil A Ruin by Vixen | 4 months ago |
| A fine fine Celt "Lady In Waiting" song. | |
| ANDROMEDA by LaFayette | 4 months ago |
| I think it's so "way out" to have songs about galaxies. I love the old school synth-moog-obie sounds you have going here. I like the vocal improv too, not so easy to sing about space! | |
| New Dimension by MIR | 4 months ago |
| Wow Dr. Zinc really churns inspiration for many here. I can't think of a better word than the "mystical" used above. Feels like I am walking through a market in Marakesh and I've never been there before, lol. | |
| November Dance by dirigent | 4 months ago |
| Almost a futuristic cop show theme. I say almost only because I am not in the future, yet. Cool guitar wahs. | |
| soapbubblebox by eagle | 4 months ago |
| I love when you stretch out in all these parts like this. | |
| I Like that You Kind of Like Me by Naaji | 4 months ago |
| All of the above but also - you really record your vocal very well. You push the right buttons, slide the right sliders to make it all so steamy good. | |
| H..U..S..H... by RedthruNthru | 4 months ago |
| This def. has a Memphis Stax meets Joplin grit to it. Great job to both of you. | |
| If by MusicLeft | 4 months ago |
| Thanks always for sharing your talents and art, I love the descending phrasing. | |
| Tenderly ( Sarah Vaughan cover) by Little_Hooligan | 4 months ago |
| You are so powerfully convincing in your delivery. Plus your voice has an old timey vibrato to fit this song so well. | |
| FOOLED AROUND AND FELL IN LOVE by JAM | 4 months ago |
| So many of my favorite 70's tunes around here this week! Another fine take on the classic of classic rock. | |
| Bad Time (cover) by lou2339 | 4 months ago |
You nailed all those harmonies very right-on. I like your huskier voice - reminds me of the singer from Hamilton Joe Frank and what's their name. Fun version for sure. |
|
| Move by GaryLester | 4 months ago |
| I really dig the whip-it accent on the down beat. Very cool staccato guitar too. | |
| Gas Town Blues 2 by k6 | 4 months ago |
| Very cosmopolitan and urban score, Jere, I like the soundscape you created. Much of this video looks so much like downtown Chicago right around City Hall. | |
| Yours and Mine by Bob6stringer | 4 months ago |
Ahhhhh, this is the Bob that I love most. Do what comes natural to you, bro, and what a beautiful inspiration to write again like this. Congrats to Maya - the years fly, cherish every laugh. I dig how the tune picks up steam as it moves along. A real hootenany with right touches of Allmans and Charlie D. |
|
| HERE SHE COMES by Barretok | 4 months ago |
| The snake slither of the percussion and the flute give it a distinctive War feel - and maybe I was hearing that from you sending along the You Tubes. You really let the band groove before seeming to get a little more crazed in your poetic delivery for the back end. | |
| 1968 by rickywaterman | 4 months ago |
To cop a bit of '68 parlance - this is way groovy, Ricky. I admire you playing through the pain. |
|
| LAUGH OUT LOUD by BossHook | 4 months ago |
| Thanks again to everyone - and I know there are few lingering collab loose ends that I have not tied up, trying to see if I can get those going. | |
| If I Think Of Love by Dylan | 4 months ago |
| I agree with Pete up there - a great combination of opening tough then blossoming. You two have always hit the most sensitive musical places. | |
| Scotch Whisky by archjerry | 4 months ago |
| I did, and now I'm going to have another - scotch and another listen! | |
| All She Said Was Adios by Telemetry | 4 months ago |
| The minimalism of this is very good. Feels like early Herb Alpert. | |
| BIG BRO's WATCHING YOU by MickD | 4 months ago |
| This is down and dirty - I feel Little Feat too! | |
| Blue-live by MrBajen | 4 months ago |
| The warmth of this recording and performance is striking. | |
| Everyone Loves Sugar (Take 1) by HalcyonMeter | 4 months ago |
| You allow the space for it to breathe. The melody is strong and I love the "sugar" hook. It's like you wait for it and then boom, hits you right in the sweet spot. | |
| Drifting by GaryLester | 4 months ago |
Guitar driven stuff has a very cool passion to it - I dig it. |
|
| Asceticism (Sketch) by Mungo | 4 months ago |
| I too now like the sound of piano against heavy distortion, especially the way you present it for my ears! | |
| (no subject) (a remix) by Tribrix | 4 months ago |
| Rocktronica from you always makes me feel mischevious. | |
| Blue Interlude by Bass2x | 4 months ago |
| Indigo blue - nice variations on the theme. | |
| You Dont Know Me by RosaLinda | 4 months ago |
| I love this song and more so in your care | |
| Things Change by nlsn | 4 months ago |
| Oh yeah, this is sooooo right. | |
| Behind the Clouds by MIR | 4 months ago |
| I think this piece embodies the true spirit of Icomp. Anto taking you to different musical places but your collab with him necessary for him to express the musical thought. Above all of this, it sounds so rich and wonderful. | |
| LAUGH OUT LOUD by BossHook | 4 months ago |
| Great to feel the love here again - I'm catching up slowly. | |
| Uninvented by 8MonthMalfunction | 4 months ago |
| Awesome send-up to the monkey man, Ian. A true folk compositional element to all of this including Dylan's additions and Toni's voice. | |
