Title: All Dressed Up
Post by: Farrell Jackson on January 03, 2021, 07:13:03 PM
Here's another collab with Lorne Reid and I call All Dressed Up. Lorne sent me the music over and I added all the vocals, lyric and the outro lead guitar fills and solo.
All Dressed Up
(v1) I was feeling restless so I shined my shoes
A little busy work to keep away the blues
I should place an order with Grub Hub
Or pour me a drink and do the chug-a-lug
(v2) No need to sit home and get depressed
Should be masking with the rest
But that gives me a feeling that I'm hiding
Because no one can see when I'm smiling
(chr) All dressed up and no where to go
All dressed up and no where to go
(v3) Not sure I can take another year of this stuff
Doing the normal everyday things are tough
I should be happy to be alive
When the alternative is not to survive 
(Brdg) I'm all dressed up and no where to go
The lights are on but no one's home
I should call and hit the road
I'm all dressed up and no place to go
(chr) All dressed up and no where to go
All dressed up and no where to go
All dressed up and no place to go
All dressed up and no place to go
(Outro Solo)

You have been busy sir.... really good here too...I am getting a bit of a meat loaf vibe....kind of weird huh? 
another barnburner song....and the lead reminds me a hint of Gary Richrath of REO (God rest his soul)

Lordy lordy...what a kick ass rocker! Great mix and production..nice BIG sound. Farrell your pipes ain't lost a thing. Excellent singing and lyric...and leads. Loved the pseudo metal rhythm guitar tone and relentless drive. The dynamics at 2:18 were sweet. What was this recorded/mixed on? Bravo guys!

oh yeah, what a great rocker this is! Excellent guitar work and what a brilliant production. Rock vocals are stellar and that dynamic drop at 2:18 works so well. Fantastic work, guys.

This is rather prog-tastic to my ears. Instantly reminds me of Saga - great playing and fab vocals.

Always a good tune from you Farrell, always. Pushed vocals are great, and the music is tight.
Great collab!

Another killer rocker from you two. Lorne really knows how to put a powerful track together and your vocals fit it like a glove. Really liking the outro guitar solo, very melodic and tasteful and really creates a powerful ending. Love the lyrics as well, a bit of a different twist on the challenges we are facing right now. Nice work all round!

This sounds so heavy and good on my headphones. Sounds quite proggy in places - i.e. more ambitious and experimental than a standard rock song. Great vocals, and some bloody kick-ass guitar work too. The production is superb. As is that outro solo - wow.

I hear some UFO in there in there as well.  So much in here to unpack. The sweep of that flanger is just perfect.  Great vocals, production, drum sound, rhythm and lead guitars. Always partial to a major sounding solo as well. Blimey, that was a good post.

Gonna weigh in with Bruno. There is a touch of Saga in here with those stabblng lead fills sprinkled around. Really good stuff - heavy, rocking and quite original too. I had my foot tapping away.
