| Like a favorite pair of shoes found under the bed - here is our Wally. This reminds me of Elvis Costello and Lowell George over a few belts of whiskey. | |
| En Förlorad Värld by brnPetra | 4 days ago |

|
| End of the night by brnPetra | 3 months ago |
| Great metaphorical writing in the hook, awesome performances and the haunting depth in the production. Reminds me of a post modern Animals meets Velvets. | |

| Kinks are always right be me - the backing vox really have the Kinks there in my mind! | |
| Driller's Regret by pharmakeus | 7 months ago |
Love your original stuff the most - and also dug hearing about the method to the madness. I myself always find it a passive aggressive challenge against myself to try to record with a mic while my lava lamp is still on. The twisting, turning and contorting to weird spaces in my basement studio has become a fetish of sorts. Oh, is that too much information?  |
|
| En Helt Ny Karriär by Dyl | 7 months ago |
| I like the sheer exuberance and excitement Petra brings to the performance. Good energy in the instrumental backing Dyl to match the vocal. Brings back the Kim Deal days for me. Cool band outro taking this out. |
|
| Fortunate Son (CCR Cover) by Baboon | 7 months ago |
| I expected nothing less than tour de force balls out of boxer shorts brilliance. And it delivered in every note, beat and measure. | |
| Baby, Don't You Do It by pharmakeus | 8 months ago |
| Down home and so right. Excellent. Love it. | |
| Blues Run The Game (Cover) by CaremelTones | 8 months ago |
| I like the depth you create in the recording with just vocal and guitar - reminds me of the early Paul Simon recordings for the way he used the deep verbs. | |
| secret service [ 07-01 ] by woofer3 | 8 months ago |
| I happen to relate your writing style to ECs but you always retain a fine originality - nice nod to elements of EC but still all yours here! |
|
| Deep Without by sammydix | 8 months ago |
| Hooked on your vibe now. | |
| Lookin Up by sammydix | 8 months ago |
| Great performance by the wise man and again, your writing, performance and production is great. Sweet lazy hazy summer song! | |
| No Way To Get High by sammydix | 8 months ago |
 Oh wow, where have I been missing your stuff. This brings so many favs to mind - CSNY, Buf Spring - great tune, production and playing. |
|
| Crab Walk by LaFayette | 8 months ago |
| What I like most about this tune is how you let the groove just infect the listener before bringing the lead piano in. Also dig the turn-around lick - cool chords. | |
| Boy In The Blue Sky (Studio Mix) by SteveScott | 8 months ago |
| I really enjoyed listening to the tune while reading the mixing process you achieved. I know you discovered like I have in the mix process that the talents of real engineers with top end pro gear can really make a difference. | |
| Acoustic Black Trees 3 : A Dual of 2 Upright Basses. by shadesofdown | 8 months ago |
| Very original and expressive playing | |
| On The Boulevard by scaustrita | 8 months ago |
| It definitely has that LA jazz feel - also the silky smartness of Steely Dan. Cool tune. | |
| Breathe by RetroTrend | 8 months ago |
| Very cool neo soul! | |
| Ruptured Rapture by EvilFactman | 8 months ago |
| The bells are such a foreboding presence and the string, percussion and symphonic arrangement around the theme is so well done. A great music piece, Evil. | |
| Fernando (Abba Cover) by Deebeesea | 8 months ago |
| You really handle the difficulty of this with ease. | |
| You Ain't Goin' Nowhere by BossHook | 8 months ago |
| Thanks for stopping by everyone. I was test driving the new Blue Yeti Pro USB mic which is beastly good - I just didn't have a producer's touch with it yet for correct levels and buffering and that leaves the vocals a bit timid. But for Dylan and Petra - I'd sing through a paper cone to show my admiration for their musical friendship. |
|
| Useless Thing by pharmakeus | 8 months ago |
| This has a live feel to it with a drummer who is jacked up and ready to go. | |
| This Years Love by etgilles | 8 months ago |

| No Lasting Thing by nlsn | 8 months ago |
| Velvet smoking jacket stuff - I know others have thrown around names but I will say a cool combo of Lou Rawls meets Kurt Elling. Way to lay it down you guys! |
|
| Switched on Bach by georgeptingley | 8 months ago |
| Yes, always masterfully done, Mr. Tingley | |
| Take The A Train (In 3/4) by Musicist | 8 months ago |
| You still swing it hard in 3/4, love the flourishes. Do more in other time sig, I love the concept. | |
| Je Suis Une Fille by Naaji | 8 months ago |
| Very progressive clubby - I like how it gets more aggressive, really gets steamy. | |
| Apologize by Vixen | 8 months ago |
| This is a tour de force that captures all of your wit and vocal dramatics. You sell it so well and the musical arrangement is fantastic. Reminds me of the Bette Midler and Barry Manilow collaboration some years ago - and I mean that as a total compliment. | |
| DOWN ON THE CORNER by KCsGROOVE | 8 months ago |
| Of course I always dig your writing and performance - but here the production shines - like the keyed horn section punches up the groove just right. | |
| LULLABY FOR LUKE by SISTERS | 8 months ago |
| There is nothing more disarming and innocent than a lullaby. Wonderful piano piece, playing and a great vocal accompaniment. You go real low here, don't think I've heard your lower range down there - such a versatile voice! |
|
| Funky Spandau Ballet No. 176 by RubyDubidoux | 10 months ago |
| Way to let loose on the vocal - really adds energy to this cool groove. |
|
| King of the World by videoscore | 10 months ago |
| Fantastic depth to the composition and such a worldly musical expression. The dynamics of melody with the percussion work is great. | |
| Life's Too Short Anyway by Bachthoven | 10 months ago |
| You are impressing me more and more with each tune. This has such a timeless McCartney, Prine, Jerry Jeff Walker, feel. Love it. | |
| SubZee Remix by RetroTrend | 10 months ago |
| A great example of why this site is such an artist's paradise. Very cool remix and beat treatment to take a brilliant piece by Dave and put it on the dancefloor! | |
| Only the Lonely ( Roy Orbison Cover) by billylimbo | 10 months ago |
| A very cool noir twist to the tune. Cool concept. |
|
| Change Isn't Always Good by ClayPotts | 10 months ago |

|
| Pirate by Deebeesea | 10 months ago |
| With all of the modern day pirating, you have yourself a real contemporary lyric to veg's tune! | |
| Across The Universe by Cinderella | 10 months ago |
| The greatest written songs lend themselves like a ball of clay to other artists' hands. You both did a wonderful job here and your son is quite the talent getting that talent from his mom! |
|
| FameLife (Radio Edit) by Axelbreeze | 10 months ago |
| Very professional synth work and vocal production. |
|
| Hypocrisy for Consumption by artneuro | 10 months ago |
| Sometimes the attitude in instrumental performance conveys more than lyrics can. Awesome jam in the name of gluttonous hubris. | |
| Hangover Blue by mfwmiles | 10 months ago |
| I bet we were in NY at the same time (mid-late 80's)? You at NYU me at Fordham - too bad we never crossed paths as I would have loved to busk with you! Oh and this tune - brilliant. Love the scatting. | |
| 141 instrumental; by randolf | 10 months ago |
| For every perfect whimsical moment you have fun with in your poem and song - you have an equally sinister bent that dives deep below the surface. Very very cool sound work. | |
| lowercase n by that80sboy | 10 months ago |
| If you decide to do more of these let me know! Learned my grammar, abc, numbers all from public television and School of Rock! | |

| All A Dream Coming To An End by GaryLester | 10 months ago |
| This is a cool dark and industrial performance. Your vocal is eerie good. | |
| Hard Times by Sloparts | 10 months ago |
| I applaud your ability to put on your great tunesmith hat and to rise to the occasion Ed. You have a unique ability to put a smile on the face of adversity - like Haggard - keep on truckin, brother. | |
| Plastic Toy Kazoo by Bachthoven | 10 months ago |
| I love the concept of the kazoo slinger - very clever writing and such a fun tune. Don't worry about the white noise, soon enough you can get a decent mic for a few bucks that will fine for guitar and vocal. |
|
| Forever Yours (Jazz Version) by LaFayette | 10 months ago |
| The haunting restraint is excellent in both vocal and music performance. Soulful jazz at its best. | |
| Four On Six by mre | 10 months ago |
| The real deal. I am always very impressed by live recording jazz around here - it's the actual essence. Great tone for all of you - even the drummer's cymbals have that right tone! | |
| Carol, Always by My Side by pharmakeus | 10 months ago |
| Feels like somewhere between the Cars and that awesome sax work in the Foreigner tune. Great collab touches to a powerful effort from Michael. |
|
| Someday Maybe by Beatle128 | 10 months ago |
| You incorporate the fine arrangement nods from the Fab as well as all those that were borne out of Beatlemania (Grass Roots, Gerry Pacemaker, etc.) A very well written song - I love the chorus hook. More of that 12 string Rick! |
|
| Burned by Rusticalia | 10 months ago |
| I have always been a fan of the way you yearn through your writing and playing. Big fan of your writing. | |
| Summertime (cover) by Deebeesea | 10 months ago |
| I may fire up my jazz guitar tone under you on this and see what happens. | |
| Summertime (cover) by Deebeesea | 10 months ago |
| Lots of real passion in that voice and you sing the blue notes right. | |
| She Belongs To Me by brewchugger | 10 months ago |
| It's hard to be you two guys. Love the way you guys ramble! | |
| Road To Oblivion by Dyl | 10 months ago |
| Always a right on rawness to your interpretations. Your artistry in making them your own is tops. | |
| Don't Feel Sorry For Me by Naaji | 10 months ago |
| To be a music theory snob you actually do not rip Pachabel's melody because you resolve with a different chord - so no worries! The vocal effect is very 80's retro for me. Your spoken part has a bit of a husky French to it - almost like you were imitating Dyl's voice or something - and I LIKE! | |
| The Way(Fastball cover) by Drugon_voice | 10 months ago |
| I remember this one! You did a fine job with all the vocals and guitar work. I like your vocal passion - do it bro! | |
| Colorful (Verve Pipe Cover) by frostbite | 10 months ago |
| This builds with confidence in performance as the song progresses. I like the straight ahead recording. | |
| There's Nothing To Show by Moey | 10 months ago |
| You have a captivating way of playing and singing that keeps the listener on edge waiting for the next. | |
| Somewhere Over The Rainbow/Wonderful World by RubyDubidoux | 10 months ago |
| I became re-enchanted with this classic with Izy's famous uke version and I love the pep you added to it but kept the island feel. Thanks for the smiles. | |
| Perpetuum Mobile IV by soulima | 10 months ago |
| I always learn more about theory, arrangement and composition when I come to your pieces. One of these days I'll be brave enough to do a classical motif or piece but until then I'll enjoy your artistry! | |
| moon dew walk by mrsticky | 10 months ago |
| I love when sound maestros like yourself dig back into the old bag of tricks with the old sounds. Nice emo feel to the tune. | |
| How It Ends by Sabine | 10 months ago |
| To me it is better to record a real piano, warts and all, than the processed fakes. I like the depth of the piano recording. The drama and 'unfolding' of the vocal and lyrics really lends itself to a theatrical production. Nice emotion in your playing and singing. | |
| I Need Some Water by Naaji | 10 months ago |
| Back for another drink... | |
| Ravers' Escapade by RetroTrend | 10 months ago |
| You are a non-stop groove machine, my friend. Little Hoolie knows how to play around in the Yos sandbox. This is pumpin'. | |
| Unplanned Miracle by RetroTrend | 10 months ago |
| Great dance and head boppin effort, sultry vocal | |
| she by eagle | 10 months ago |
| Classic and splendid classy collab. So romantic to listen to! | |
| RISE UP for the People of Japan by SISTERS | 10 months ago |
| Pro-fess-ional writing and performance - a noble artistic gesture | |
| A Little Lapse of Memory by Sloparts | 10 months ago |
| I really love your country writing - you know what makes the genre work with lyrics and changes. I hope you are feeling better. |
|
| Desert Flower by pharmakeus | 10 months ago |
| For some reason I hear this in a post modern sci fi film on the deserts of Mars or something - Dune, Mad Max, it has that feel for me and I dig it. | |
| HUNDRED YEARS by KCsGROOVE | 10 months ago |
| How can you not smile when you see a picture like that up there of Grandma - great B3 strolling for Grandma - I bet she could boogie in her day! | |
| I Came To Hear The Music by RedthruNthru | 10 months ago |
| I am always amazed returning from an absence of the discovery of such great performances and unique recordings. The combination of the brilliant guitar work and soulful singing here is great. Donna, you bring all the warmth that this song deserves in your singing. Dan - masterful "potting" as I call it working your volume pot on the strat. | |
| The Nearness Of You by RedthruNthru | 10 months ago |
| Wow I missed this earlier - what a fab jazz collab. Great playing and that inimitable voice, so classy and a wonderful vibrato! | |
| I Do Believe by nlsn | 10 months ago |
| The descending major seven progression really sets this up nicely. I like how you kept the mood of this light and airy - fits this fine writing of yours. Reminds me of something John Sebastian might have in his bag of tricks! | |
| Brick by Brick by TessCrazy | 10 months ago |
| The vocal energy is great and the chord progession as Nlsn said is easy on the ears. The echo harmonies are a great hook. Songwriter's critique: The second verse is a winner, the first one could be rewritten a bit more cohesive in imagery. Who's chasing you? The memories? Bill collectors? Other dudes? You get the picture! Good luck. | |
| Joob! (Remastered) by Matt Granz | 10 months ago |
| I hear a very different version from my memory of the original, now I have to get all studioey and do an A/B mix comparison on the big speaks. My kids will dig the glam! | |
| The Collapsing Roof (I could not believe my eyes) by DoreenY | 10 months ago |
| I could listen to your dulcet tones all day reading the newspaper or phone book. Good production work as well! | |
| Sometimes Girl by brewchugger | 10 months ago |
| Good writing, the verses are so melodically fine! | |
| You Can Count On Me (the Weather Song) by mfwmiles | 10 months ago |
| You write the gems, my friend. This belongs in a Coca Cola commercial - I get the same vibe as the "I'd like to teach the world to sing..." | |
| Man Up (There's a Woman Down) by Sabine | 10 months ago |
| Hot and sultry. Very good close harmony work. Cool dub track. | |
| Le Pianiste et le Rastafarian by LaFayette | 10 months ago |
| This really is suite and I love it. | |
| I'm Not Ready by BossHook | 10 months ago |
| Thanks all you peoples! | |
| Waiting for the Sun by Olivia_dancedivine | 10 months ago |
| Olivia this is a fine piece if songwriting with a professional touch on production. Cool guitar work wailin' in the back. | |
| I Need Some Water by Naaji | 10 months ago |
| Besides your always alluring vocal and sensual lyrics - the music and groove is at a perfect boil - in a perfect recipe! | |
| Faller by brnPetra | 10 months ago |
| There's an undeniable alt country hop a long to this. I like the power you bring to the chorus when you sing out strong. I'm sure Dyl will know this reference but the writing and recording here reminds me of Neko Case, one of my favs. | |
| Waiting in Vain by imadesentana | 10 months ago |
| Very very soulful and beautiful. Your instrument choice is very unique and makes it such a personal version of the song. | |
| Another Fool by aaront | 10 months ago |
| I like the bad a$$ attitude on this. Really tight and I love how you recorded the vocal - the limited processing and whatever you did really gives it presence. | |
| Let Me Be by Bachthoven | 10 months ago |
| Good time folk writing and playing - actually reminds me of TRex in an acoustic style! | |
