Put My Foot Down RV (Farrell Jackson © 01/01/22)
(V1) When we first became a couple
I needed to say who was the boss
She looked at me all wild and crazy
And said "give that some thought"
"Whoa oh Lady"
"You don't need to be so hasty"
"That's the advice my daddy gave me"
"I trust his words explicitly"
(Chr) So I put my foot down 1 time
Then I put my foot down 2 times
Before I could put it down 3 times
She put her own foot down
(GC solo)
(V2) This seems kind of funny
But I didn't want to lose my honey
So, some changes were in order
If I was to stay in these quarters
(Chorus) (GC slide solo)
(V3) Now it's been many blissful years
Since we clarified our roles
I needed to treat my lady with respect
A happy spouse means a happy house
(Chr) ) But I put my foot down 1 time
Then I put my foot down 2 times
Before I could put it down 3 times
She put her loving foot next to mine

Tell Gary I love the mix! Great song again... it has that classic rock vibe that I resonate with so much. love the slide guitar. Bass work is really fine. Nice drum work for sure.
of course the vocals are top notch...cool lyrics too. Not bad for a rocker from the Cowboy Capital! (watched the video)...
thanks Rayon
kind of hit me like Deep Purple...deep purple....Deep Purple

Love these tracks you guys produce. Great mixing, mastering, instrumentation, vocals - the whole package is just superlative. And that guitar work! Brilliant and so tasteful.

I was getting a Deep Purple vibe too... I thought I was getting it from the vocal... but then when I tried to put my finger on it, the impression disappeared...
On a second listen, I'm feeling Crest of a Knave period Jethro Tull instead, but that's when they were sounding more "Deep Purple" like! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Anyways...
Yeah, love it. Very cool performances from everyone.
First time I was listening, the speakers were down low. It's 8:45 am now, just done my first Zoom meeting of the day (hour and a half!! sheesh ::)), so the speakers are LOUD...
Wow, sounds FANTASTIC turned up.
Special shout out to the guitaring ... the style, the economy, the touch and feel here is right up my alley! Some sublime playing.

Blimey, so well done. And the lyrics...ain't it the truth? I must ask Gary what was being used for that first lead solo (What guitar? Amp or modeler?). What a great tone.
Great mix. Great song. Great performance. Loved the modulation. I'm really liking what you guys are doing.

Jesus H so glad I decided to go down the list a bit tonight to see what I have missed. This sounds so good lads. Rayon Vert... what a band. But yes, that guitar... hmmm, it's so damn good. There are hints of Steve Morse and a little Ritchie B in there too. Ritchie Blackmore is a big part of why I like rock in the first place I so dig his style. But anyway, this is superior stuff. Classic Rock is alive and well in 2022.
