Original Songs / Re: Screwed - Jazzshed origina...

Jack and Jill went up to a hill? That's such a lazy line that it becomes a classic!

Is there no limit to this mans talent? The Tom Waits fest turned out to Reggie fest yet ODH is putting out such a smoky song that it becomes a healt hazard for all of those who hear it.

That piano. That bassline. You were supposed to be an indie guy? Punk guy? This ain't punk. This is quality songwriting with strong performances to boot. With two chords? That's plain wrong. I'm sure i heard at least ten. None of which i'm familiar.

Thank you and good night!

I'm not saying the singer lisps or anything. It's just my funky hearing. Or the way i process the sounds. Now i heard another live song of yours with lyrics YOUR SALIVA!

Damn, it almost looks like there's a song trying to get out of me. I must hold back.

Ted, you're such a funky dude!

This funks like a moose. Enjoyable and slightly angular whiteboy groove that's hard to resist. The lyrics are even more interesting. I listened to both the studio version and the live take. I heard fabulous things. In the live version i thought i saw a guy with a "American Dad" T-shirt, but turns out i read it wrong. Then when the backing vocals came in i heard "CANNIBAL TRIBE!" and i was OH YEAH! This is heavy. But i heard wrong. As it turns out i'm getting a lot of things wrong, but don't worry i did check the lyrics and they're great too! (even without my changes to them ).

It's all clear to me now. The reason why you're posting so few songs. You're waiting for the world to catch up! With such a back catalogue of goodies i'd do the same.

Nutrients don't play no more? Too many calories?

Ooh, loved that ending.

When The Nutrients learned this song, Ron Whistle always wanted to end on a power chord. And I had to insist, NO! Just the open E string.

Cover Songs / Re: Honky Tonk Women

Before hearing this, if someone had asked me to guess which Songcrafter totally claimed "Honky Tonk Women" as their own, I'm pretty sure I would have guessed Ron D Bowes. And I would have been right.

If Songcrafters ever does a Yacht Rock Fest, you will dominate!

I threw a little guitar at it.

I'll say you did. The guitar is mixed a little low for my ears.

It's a very cool backer. I like how the delay on the keyboard ping-pongs left to right.

The organ sounds great. What are you using to get this fine sound? Your vocals and melody are pure gold. The bass has a cool thump that nails the bottom down with ease. The guitar riff keeps the song grounded in a good way. Great songwriting, recording and mix, Karl!
