I don't know what I can add to the other comments except to say this is absolutely perfecto. It's on my hard drive now. Great job.

Love it !!!
I agree, this song is hypnotic. The banjo is very nice - but I'm in love with the bowed-guitar (??!!!). I'd like to hear it higher in the mix. I assume this is a bowed acoustic. Please tell me more on how you did this (string gauge, tuning, etc) . I love the sound. I think the hypnotic feel is a combo of the rythmic banjo AND the droning bowed-guitar.
BPOCO.
PS: Is the bowed-guitar the same technique used in "Cat's in the Cradle"?

It's got a real river feel. The constant, slow rolling of the water. Cool. Lead singer's voice sounds familiar, but I can't quite place it yet. Very nice sound on the guitar. Nice job.

This is excellent!!!
Reminds me of Gordon Lightfoot meets Led Zep. And thats not a bad thing, wish I had that kinda vibe going on. I dig that acoustic sound and that banjo fits the song well. I like everyone would like to hear the banjo brought up a little. Very nice recording and great writing!!

Floating away-drifting.
Instead of using so much imagery how about making the river into a metaphore for something larger. like giving up control and letting fate do with you what it will. good track though. a little rough at the begining. have you thought of shortening it a little? Sorry but I didn't really like the rhyme scheme in the first verse even though it works out rather well for the phrasing. maybe this kind of critisism should be reserved for the Songwriting forum. Great harmonies. good arangement. that's you playing everything isn't it? you cheekey bastard.
It is really better sometimes. It is like having fewer Transducers between you and the final product. great acoustic sound. Is that Stereo miced? hope I wasn't too harsh.
oh! the first verse is in 2 parts. start the song without the drums. bring the vocals in 2 bars later with the hat and kick. on the second half of the first verse bring in the snare and stuff in and solidify that in comparison to the first half. then when the chorus kicks in you can bring the drums out or use a ride cymal. I like no drums. then pretty much the same. cut the gap between the chorus and the 2nd verse. gaps aren't necessary in songs. unless it is an allstar jam. and those always end up like crap. give this a thought. I think you may like it. ciao.

I know this song was posted long ago...
But I just was listening to it off Stratomasters NWR site, after going to listen to his current song.
What a great song. I'm dowloading it (huge complement, I'm 42.6k lol and its 6+megs).
It just flows along, with a nice jam session feel to it. The singer really seems to suit the music, and vice-versa.
If everyone's already heard it, then let it drop, but there may be people who would love a listen.
Thanks,
Adam
