Description:
An acoustic guitar country blues number. This is a repost of one of my earliest posts. I have used au and eq to try and lessen room noise and make vocal clearer. I deleted a percussion track and moved the bass down in volume in the mix. This song is one of my favorites that I have written and used to be a staple when I played live.

Lyrics:
I'm just a man, you know it's true
I'm just a man that's in love with you
So darling why don't you love me too

Just relax and take your time
Just relax and have a mighty fine time
And darling why don't you love me too

Some people they just don't understand
You can't live your life by sticking your
head in the sand
You can run but you just can't ever hide
It's like being on a crazy roller coaster ride

Wake up and look around
Smell that coffee it's special ground
And darling I'll grind some just for you

Play your music and make me sing
Walk with a wiggle and shake that thing
And darling why don't you love me too

Repeat chorus

cleaner to my ears. Your singin is really fun to hear bronco. Keep this up,
your riching higher ground musically.

Astute ears Bill! The Door's lick is hammering on an open G to G# in an open
E chord. The bridge is built around a C#m which is probably where you are
hearing the Kinks. Thanks for listening!

Thanks Steve! I think I'm getting better at twisting the knobs and presenting a
clearer sound if nothing else.

You render a believable story here. Relaxed and melodious. I like your
style! Very approachable lyrics.

Thanks Richard! This is a fairly simple tune but fun to play on guitar and it
get's a good response live.

Love the way it starts &mdash 10/27/05 - 04:13:36 PM
When i hear guitarplay like this you have sold the track to me alredy! I think this still should be among your favourites :). Your voice reminds of someone i cant really tell, (maybe a country version of Jim morrisons voice?). your playing is so amazing!! wish I could play like that..... Keep up the good work!

Nice compliments, thanks Selters! My voice has been compared to Jim
Morrison's before and I was a big Door's fan. Some other's say Johnny Cash.
Probably somewhere in between there I guess.

even better &mdash 10/27/05 - 04:22:25 PM
I like the remix. Sounds a lot better than I remember the original
sounding. This is such a fun love song with charm and humor. I'd rather
hear it end proper on a last slow E chord strum than the fade but that's
just a minor nit. I like this tune a lot.

even better &mdash 10/29/05 - 09:51:23 AM
Thanks Peter! The song is too short for a fade and I think that was more an
accident of recording than planning. However, haven't you ever heard a song
where you thought a fade ending was appropriate and worked? I can think of
some Allman Brothers, Bonnie Raitt, Bob Dylan, etc. where I thought that type
of ending really worked well and added to my enjoyment of the song.

I totally agree; some songs really end nicely with a fade-out.

Nice progression and feel &mdash 10/27/05 - 05:20:48 PM
Great tune. I"m sorry I missed it before. The guitar is great and your
voice is right on.

Thanks John! I have a song in mind for us to collaborate on. I just need to
find the time to get a good recording to send you.

Haven't heard this one before ... &mdash 10/28/05 - 08:35:49 AM
Lovely laid-back jangly guitar with some nice flourishes, and of course
your warm and heartfelt vocal style. I think I agree with Peter that a
final chord rather than the fadeout might give it a sweeter ending, but
it's a very nice song!

Appreciate the visit to the bronco musical homestead Rebsie! Sit down, take
your shoes off while you listen to the music. In a few minutes we will be
having tea but it will be Luzianne iced tea with a splash of lime juice. Would
you like one or two sugars with that?

Excellent Guitar Playing &mdash 10/28/05 - 04:43:55 PM
Tom/Bronco

Very nice piece, really enjoyed the guitar playing, Alvarez-Yari's have
a magnificant sound especially when played but a great player.

NIce laid back song, excellent production work there too!

So much talent &mdash 10/30/05 - 03:33:14 AM
I adore what you do with a guitar. This is such a lovely, old-fashioned
(and I mean that in a complimentary way, as I adore old-fashioned)
song. There's so much honesty in your voice. Wonderful song, Bronco.

Sit back on the porch swing &mdash 10/31/05 - 08:31:35 AM
. . . and drink some lemonade! This is sweet!

Sounds like a song that could've been written it the 20s! I could definitely
hear Bessie Smith singing this one. Or Billie Holiday. Or even Leon
Redbone! Great playing!

The lyrics don't try too hard, but they don't need to!

pleasant song to listen too &mdash 11/23/05 - 04:57:12 PM
A very nice song. The voice is matching the guitar and is not just on top
of the music. A very pleasant song to listen too.
