EH was thankfully quite low in the mix.

I think it's now clear that when she sings in the upper half of her register, she's great and when she sings in the bottom half of it, she's dull.

A bridge!

Guitar solo.

Or middle eight as Wendi insists on calling it in her wilful, esoteric, obscurantistic nomenclature. Colbert

I have.

Lots.

It doesn't sound too much like him.

The slide guitar does a bit, but not really.

That gives me an idea. hmm

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon May 04, 2020 7:47 pm

I like this one.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon May 04, 2020 7:47 pm

Lots of guitar shenanigans.

by Nightjar Mon May 04, 2020 7:48 pm

I was liking this until the weird vocal sound.

Still, it's a passable slice of blues-rock.

Final track - Jackson.

Y'know, this is proper Southern Blues Rock.

Whether it's any good in a relative sense is moot, but it's Southern Rock.

Yet, when I've introduced other elements of SR here it's been sneered at.
