Nicely done!

Great vocal that really sells this one !

This is a cracking track which had me toe-tapping from the very first beat! The guitar work on here is superb and the arrangement excellent too. I don't think the track is intended to be too deep in terms of meaning or purpose-simply a good old fashioned song about love and the desire to have a good time! The vocals are absolutely 'front and centre' and have such clarity about them. It is a very catchy and with a really strong hook! I can hear shades of the songwriter, Gordie Sampson in the vocals which is a huge compliment as he has written and sung on countless Country hits.

Very lively, witty and entertaining piece with a killer bassline that keeps your toes tapping.

Enjoyed this song.. nice fill-ins on the guitar!

I loved the old school feel of this song. The hook is very memorable and sticks with you. The bluesy tone in your voice is very cool, and it sounded really good.In the right setting this could be very marketable, but the style is not a current country style.Good Job with it! I thought you had a very fun idea here!

Loving that great guitar playing and vocals! Definitely a song that makes you want to get up and dance and reminiscent of the classic Blue Suede Shoes!

REALLY NEAT, FUN TUNE!--i like it a lot!--this would be a great one to do live!-thanxs--joe
