Made of rubber...
Another one I co-wrote and recorded with a friend.
We played the acoustic guitars together one live take.
He did lead vocals and the funky slide.
I did everything else and mixed it.

What do you think?
No really be honest.

Thanks for listening!

It's pretty good. Is there a lot of reverb on the whole song...I can't really tell that good...with shithouse earbuds at work. Anyway...I like the song pretty much.
 
Pretty good song, but it should end at about 2:55.

It goes into another song altogether, which is kind of strange.

Good start.

Nice ballad, very warm. Good work. I'd give the bass a little boost, when it comes in at 0:37 I would've liked a good solid warm bass sound. The voice and singing fits the song really well (little hiccup at 1:10 though). I kind of like the long coda. I like how the guitar picks up a nice rhythm at 2:52, but was disappointed when it just dies down at 3:14. If it were me I would've made that thing take off like a boeing, the guitar rhythm seemed to suggest that was going to happen. Some weird stammering in the rhythm here and there (4:23). But on the whole I enjoyed that very much, thanks.
 
It's a nice pleasant song.

Lots of verb on things - for an intimate song the reverberation should be sublte. The verb on the lead vocal sounds very strange and unnatural.

The lead guitar had a string out of tune.

The acoustics can tend to get out of rhythm with one another.

Some pitchiness in the vocals. Listen to the words "wine" followed by "water" from 1:08 to 1:10. There were other spots too.

The guitars starting at 2:51 sound real good.
