With this song I think I have about enough tracks for the new album "This Ain't a Movie Show". I won't release till later in the year, so, plenty of time to do all the tweaking and change of songs ;-)
Anyhoo, here's my latest "Nobody Knows"
NOBODY KNOWS
Between the Now and what is to be
Well, I don't know, it's a mystery
You take your chances with the turn of the card
Try to be brave, but it seems so hard
Well, should I stay or take my leave?
Well, I lack faith, yeah, it's hard to believe
Just give a sign, so I can see
What karma has in store for me
What the future holds
Nobody Knows
What the dice will roll
Nobody Knows
Should I turn left or should I turn right?
I could be here the whole damn night
Should I abstain or drink my fill?
Should I smoke or take a pill?
Am I in Heaven or am I in Hell?
Is this Limbo? I just can't tell
I'm bewildered and lost in time
Just let me know when I cross that line
What the future holds
Nobody Knows
What the dice will roll
Nobody Knows
(Bridge)
Between the Now and what is to be
Well, I don't know, it's a mystery
Should I turn left or should I turn right?
I could be here the whole damn night
Just give a sign, so I can see
What karma has in store for me
I'm bewildered and lost in time
Just let me know when I cross that line
Well, Ron, I'm a right sucker for a superb slow rocker, and that is just what this is – a superb slow rocker! Great instrumentation and production, coupled with a questioning hard-as-nails vocal. What's not to like! On this sample, your upcoming album should be well worth checking out. Well done. 8)
a real son of a bitch song Ron... hot damn.
this just howls from the get.. a real belter...
Batman could not hang with you. Not tough enough. The STones couldn't even get in the venue. Hulk would be in a corner cowering. Terminator has been terminated... as in Terminus Elderodis...
Superman isn't so super... the paint is peeling off the walls. No one needs call the exterminators... the bugs are running for cover... this friggin song is tearing the house down.
Really enjoyed the listen, Ron. One of your best. I think you're developing your own sound here.

A great addition to your new album, Ron! The slower tempo is a cool change up that will fit well amongst your other rockers. The lead guitar solo is right on the money with the tremolo rhythm backing it up...a perfect fit. I was waiting for the bluesy harp to raise it's head and there it is...well done Cuz!
Cool song ,nice guitar tone.
Catchy chorus as well.
Nice harmonica at the end .
Crystal clear recording as well.
Well done.
Another beauty Ron as Farrell said this will sit nicely on the album as a bit of breather before jumping back into another of your rockers loving those backing vocals that leads sits nice too
Good song, great production and guitar work, excellent vocal!
If I was to be picky I'd say the Crash cymbal seems a bit out of sync near the end... might just be me.

Good call. I did have trouble with the crash timing on the outro. It's sorted now ;-)
I love how behind the beat the verses are here. It adds some swamp to the proceedings. Apologies if I have asked previously, but what are you using for guitar tones? They always sound great.
Cool tune.

Another cool rocker, Ron. The slow tempo works so well here and great harp sound. Another great no-nonsense rock track.
This is one hell of a slow-simmering-searing awesome blues rock song! Especially like the backing vocals here, and the guitar playing, lead vocal, and production are ace as usual! The dramatic stop at the 2/3 point was very effective, nice one all around!

Mostly I use my custom Telecaster which has a Humbucker at the neck and a single coil at the bridge (and use combinations thereof) put through my Marshall MG10. usually one through clean and another through overdrive. Various pedals and/or plug ins are used if I so desire ;-)
Another top notch rocker Ron. Those guitars sound so good. And those harmonies you do are brilliant.
