Re: What happens in Song Fight, stays in Song Fight (Nevada reviews)

My favorites this week
IMHO:

Frankie Big Face - Shaky first five seconds (intended?) … then, the song breaks loose with the coolest vibe. Loved the Elvis nod !!
VOTE !!

Pigfarmer, Jr - I really like this song. Easily could be on the pop country charts.
Lyrics are seriously good.
VOTE !!

Re: Look at the great comments (Not That You Even Tried reviews)

Not That You Even Tried (In order of appearance) James Owens - Very Clint Eastwood western music stuff….I love this. You have such a wonderful-to-listen-to voice. Not to mention the lyrics. Damn, so on point and as contemporary as Boomtown Rats ‘I Don’t Like Mondays’…. (back in the day). The rest of...

Re: Watch this, guys (Bunny Hop reviews)

Bunny Hop reviews I know, title not much to work with here…. Everybody gets a trophy just for submitting… WreckdoM. The vocals remind me of Blondie in the snarky kind of way. She is really good at that. Backing rhythm is cool. Sometimes the vocals get lost in the music. Not a bad thing, just hard to...

toby roktot: Nice take on the title without actually using the title in your lyrics. Wistful and nostalgic. The stripped-down arrangement works well for the melancholic delivery.
Actually, the title appears in the last line of the bridge….and, thanks !!!!

Re: Road-rash is a badge of honor (Thrasher reviews)

Thrasher reviews….. The Magnetic Letters - This is a really good song and story. Reminds me of Lightfoot’s ‘Edmund Fitzgerald’ song. Good lyrics and vocals are really nice. Paco del Stinko - OK, I finally know you’re lineage, Paco….you are the thrashing spawn of an AC/DC and Van Halen hook-up….In th...
