Americana/Alt. Country-Rock Instrumental Forward!

[keithl]

How I love TAXI...let me count the ways1) Expanding my recording genres and getting me to do projects I normally would not do2) Giving me a smile when I get a forward email after having a bad day (actually a bad Feb, so far..non-taxi related)I also submitted a vocal version, but I guess my pipes did not do it justice!http://www.taximusic.com/song.php?song_ ... &stream=1A wide range of great-sounding AMERICANA/ALT.

He's been expanding his repertoire and wants to find great material for TV projects, as he has numerous contacts in that world as well. ibanez468: After this, you have 2 "forward" passes left!

Congrats B. You nailed that Americana feel. The track sounds very convincing. I love that it sounds a little rough around the edges the way a Jayhawks record would sound.Excellent work!Best,Cisco

Hey Taxi cats. I finished this tune a little too late for the deadline. I'm hoping some of you will have a listen and let me know if you think this song would've been in the ballpark for the Americana listing this thread is about. Do you think it would have been a good fit? Appletown A wide range of great-sounding AMERICANA/ALT.

Because it's you Steve I clicked first to listen and read afterwords so I had no idea what you were aiming at.Loved the piano intro and the bluesy opening and then heard it turning into a very strong Country vibe so if that's what you were trying to achieve then for my money you've done it!Did I like the track?Yeah loved it!!!

Congrats B. Flat!Steve, I think Appletown could benefit from some really crappy harp playing !

[arkjack]

Great tune B. I had a return on my submission so it was nice to hear the flavor that made the forward. Thanks for sharing it and good luck ...ArkJack

More great stuff, Keith. You're excellent quality work is either going to motivate me to get better at engineering or sell my gear and retire! Hope you get a call or an email soon on this one, and thanks for posting the tune--Steve-- "Appletown" sounds really good to me. (Love that lyric hook "working hard, ain't working out") It is more on the country/honky tonk side of Americana to my ears, but still in the ball park, and certainly worth submitting for future listings.

Hey Steve!Can't say whether or not it would've been a good fit, but...I likes! Sounds super my man. Like the vocs. S'got a funky kinda' country vibe goin' on there. Cool! Flat, yours is in there, as usual. I'm generally not a country listener, but I know good stuff when I hear it (or at least I think I do). I've heard bigdrisk's stuff, and I know it's hittin' on all cylinders. Just my .02 folks. You all sound fab!!ibanez468
