Woow mama, I am diggin' this! :blob8: Stephanie Bentley, Don't it Feel Good
My wife was watching a chick flick yesterday and this was on it, so I searched for it and........
I like singers with a sense/feel for the rhythm, IMO she's right on the money in this song, right in the pocket. She opens up her pipes a bit in the chorus and lets it go (for her). I listened to a few of her other songs, didn't do much for me. :dontknow: But this song's got a hook in me.
It's the slide parts, the straight back beat, her voice and the nice rise/movement in the chorus changes that get to me. (I could do with out the spoken lines but, ehh, not bad.)
It's got 2 slide parts, 1 dobro, 1 electric that are tearing me up, dobro's hittin the licks, 'lectric slides pushin' the movement in the changes, yet they maintain a lazy feel while riding on that snare and bass! Ha, works for me anyway. :blob8:
I hear trem on the rhythm guitar part and on the keyboard part (? there's trem on somethin'), nice changes (but simple), talk box line right after 1st line, you can hear the hi-hat(?) squeaking in the 1st verse after 'time to hit the ground' and after.

Very nice! Great vocals. Somewhat in the style of some early Bonnie Raitt but definitely doing her own thing.
THANKS for sharing it! I enjoyed it.
with respect, Jeff

Very nice... Thanks for the share

I like the tune, but she did that one thing I just cannot get past. When a Nashville artist adds additional southern accent. Always makes me think of tha Alan Jackson tune Gone Country.
I guess you have to be Southern to hear it, but I bet p2pamps can hear it. Now down from the soapbox, I will say it is a very well produced tune with great players. I hear the Bonnie Raitt too, but more influence of Cheryl Crow to me.
-
Glad you guys liked it. :icon_biggrin:
Yeah, tight band, great players, solid production. The whole things works for me. I like 'songs' and bands, kinda left the solo guitar thing years back.
My wife said Bonnie and Cheryl too. I'm not sure who I hear in her voice, I just like it on this song.
I don't really hear her extra/put on accent but I'm from the north. Although I think I do her it sometimes with other country singers.

Buddy, you and I have spoken on the phone and you no doubt sound midwestern more so than Northern. Just my way of thinking. Now I have that serious southern drawl that I am sure you noticed.
That is what happens when you are from Alabama.
She only does it 2 times now that I have listened to the tune quite a few times. I really like the slide. This overdone country boy and girl thing is popular and it seems most new country can be summed up in Riding in my pickup with a beer listening to the radio with my baby by my side.
It is refreshing to hear lyrics that seem to be relating to emotion and for this I give her a big ole thumbs up.
Last night on the Voice I really enjoyed the feller singing the old Tom T. Hall some Me and Jesus got our own thing going. Actualy gives me hope that Jerry and Chet will not be forgotten. And I have to say I took it hard when we lost Merle.
All of this coming from someone who plays Van-Halen and Little Feat. Wierd?

Midwestern?!?!?! Thanks a lot Ed, you just cussed me out :sad2:...... Willabe is about as Midwestern as the Cubs ever being cheered in St. Louis - NOT!!! St. Louis IS the Midwest. Chicago might as well be in the Northwest Territories - sorry Canada....
Jim :angel :grin:

Ed,
Watching the Country Music (take your pick) awards, I see the same sad stale formula over and over. The exact thing that killed rock in the late 70's. OR the I-can't-make-it-in-rock-so-I'll-try-this posers like Hootie and Keith Urban. OR the beauty pageant looks over talent. Chris Stapleton seems to be the only newbie shining star in my humble opinion. Gimme some George Strait, Ricky Scaggs, Reba, Dolly, Lynn Anderson, Roy Clark, Sons of the Pioneers, heck Marshall Tucker was a 100 times more Country than some of these new "artists"!!! My wife recorded a Disney Christmas Special that was broadcast on Thanksgiving (I think?). They had Garth Brooks and wife Trisha Yearwood sing one of my most hated Christmas tunes...Baby it's cold outside... Gosh I hate that song. However, they absolutely killed it. If they had recorded it and was for sale, I would buy it. It was THAT good. Their singing was effortless and spot on. PLUS, they actually sang it with real monitors on stage - monitors that were strangely missing for all the other "performers". The laughs and giggles were giveaways to the authenticity. Earbuds and missed mouthed lyrics were the giveaways to the other posers.
Jim Hey you kids get out of my yard!!!

Oh, NE coast as opposed to N mid west.
Now I have that serious southern drawl that I am sure you noticed.
Yeah buddy, yes you do! :laugh: But it's real/natural not put on. :icon_biggrin:

Don't mind Jim, Cubs win 1 world series in 108 years and the St Lou Cards fans are all bent out a shape.
Really I think they're worried that this young Cubs team might make a serious run at the playoffs for the next 5 to 7 years?
See, now people in St Lou sound a little more southern to a Chicagoan. :dontknow:
-
Jim, did you listen to the song I posted? :dontknow:
-
Haha! No you are absolutely wrong! We are happy for you guys and the players! It will be a good continuation of the rivalry. This coming from a fan of Maddux, Sandburg, and Dawson - which can be dangerous on this side of the tracks... :icon_biggrin: The only thing we don't like is your manager as he is a tool. The team made him look a lot smarter than he is - time will tell... I hope we get to experience the Stanley Cup in my lifetime!
Yes I did listen to it. Liked it and like people said, it sounds like Crow does country with a little hint of Bonnie. I liked the vocals and harmonies. I did get sidetracked by another vid that popped up in the sidebar that I will link in another posting.... :icon_biggrin:

"Even" Marshall Tucker, like even these old hacks. I am truly offended. I could never really get into Roy Clark's vocals. BTW, little history. Marshall Tucker got their name from a building key. They rented a rehearsal place and the people who rented it before were Marshall and the Key was made by Tucker.
Now the brain is like a hard drive and when you get up in years the hard drive gets full. So to retain new info, you must delete something. So now that you know how Marshall Tucker got their name, you will forget your address. :laugh:
Jim, you know we are on the same page, well almost. I do not like old string on my guitars.
And to Brad and Jim, I had no intention of causing a debate between you 2, but I like to see it happen.
I am rather fond of my Southern Drawl. It is funny, but if I sing Rock it does not sound country. Sort of like the Brits, but every time I hear my talking voice recorded I laugh like crazy. It just doesn't sound like my ears hear it.

I'm surprised you didn't stumble on an appreciation for country by way of a Son-of-Chicago...

Being Johnny Cash songs, they aren't Country/Pop, and they do have some obligatory solo lines no crowd will allow you to not play, but J.D. manages to dress them up with a Tele sound with the appropriate amount of agression.
-
Good stuff HBP.
-
Yeah, they sound good. :icon_biggrin:
(I'm not a fan of Tele's at all, too much bite for me, but a good players a good player.)

I've learned to embrace that aspect, and to me a good Tele bridge pickup is more about midrange aggression that treble bite. In that sense, there's a good bit in common with the best Les Paul bridge pickups.
I posted the last videos really to highlight JD Simo (a Chicagoan blues player), who moved to Nashville and picked up a Tele to play country sessions/gigs, but who I found out about by way of the Les Paul Forum.
To that end, here are a couple with JD playing the Les Paul. Further derailment provided by Jack Pearson (2nd video) who deserves some Youtube searching no matter what guitar/style he's playing (I think it's fair to say he gives Brent Mason a What-For in the 3rd video).

Sorry for going so far afield in the videos... But when you find out Jack can't really bend his left wrist, his playing becomes even more awe-inspiring.
