I posted this track yesterday and got an early christmas present in response. Kenny Mac has turned a bit of a demo/instrumental into a fully fledged song. He has transformed it into something I'm really happy with by adding vocals and mouth organ... it's called Grow. Kenny thank you!

The vocals remind me so much of a 80's-90'band, but I can't place it. Argh, it's driving me mad.

At any rate, great tune. The underlying keys(?) Were cool how they peeked in and out depending on the vocals. Nice lyric and delivery as well.

A very cool collab Mike and Kenny! The harmonica sounds good in the song as does Kenny's vocals. A great song structure and production Mike!

Great vocal and a nice add to an already great tune it's certainly grown. Good one!

The harmonica sound is not at all what you would expect to swoop in on a song like this. Very cool.

A really great song collaboration Mike. To me it sounds a bit like simple minds. Excellent backing music and love that mouth organ. Really great vocals from Kenny.
I have 2 profiles on this site, (NOW COMBINED INTO ONE PROFILE PAGE)

The 2nd one is for my other musical projects and collaborations. (DarrenG)

To be honest I imagined a brass section in there ,but I'm having problems with midi at the moment with my set up,but  it fitted in  ok.
Also the keyboard type sounds blooby mentioned are actually a synth pedal that Mike just got,sounds really good.

Excellent collab, guys. Got a Simple Minds/Duran Duran kinda feel imo but whatever - a great track with stellar instrumentation and vocals.

Rush went through a period in their music, this reminds me very much of.  The vocals not as much but that music does.  KM is on fire these days.  Did you play bass on this one Mike? 
I like it.
Yeah, the harmonica works.  That driving bass and guitar really hold this thing tight to the ground while that vocal soars to the sky and then in those quiet moments that lovely guitar stands out.
It's a dandy!
