I don’t know this artist, but the musical idea fits very well together with the BT and your rhythm phrases and licks on the guitar sound very nice and enjoyable to listen to: a joyful and at the same time relaxing melody! Very well done, Laurel.

Very well played Laurel.
Sounds good with the BT.
Your harp added a melancholy vibe.

Hi Laurel, great to hear you again this month! Really nice rhythm ideas on this one, and I love the harmonica. It layers together well. Fun listening!

well done!!!!!!! wow what a feeling!

Excellent Laurel! Very Booker T-ish!

I love steve, well played!

Really cool Laurel. Love the mix of rhythm, riffs and single lines and … adding the harp was a master stroke! 👏👏👏🌟👏👏👏 I definitely caught the Blues Brothers Vibe here Laurel (I’m even wearing my BB T-Shirt in my video!). Excellent submission. Hope you survived the cyclone and floods up there. All the best! 😎🎸😎

Really unique take on this track Laurel. Cool driving rhythm, I can definitely hear the Steve Cropper influence. Nicely done!

An unusual and creative overlay of fast playing against a slow backing track. An engaging combination. Nice work!

OK, I remember that Steve Cropper song now. I like the muted effect you’ve achieved.

Nice that you paid homage to Steve Cropper here, Laurel. I really like his unique and catchy playing too. And you’ve captured that vibe very well here.

Congrats Laurel,
I’m glad you got to use one of your favorite songs/motifs for a challenge. Your performance is really nice. Love that you pulled in the harmonica. You are always progressing! Thanks for your inspiration.

Yep, on Mr Cropper, most enjoyable!

Great production! It definitely sounded familiar so I must have heard the Cropper’s song, you worked in the motif very nicely into your instrumental. And the harmonica – nice! I wish I could play it, such a nice addition to guitar, giving it a cool soothing vibe, kind of like a slide but played with air 😉 One of your best, Laurel!

Love this piece Laurel! I hear some Hey Sister, Soul Sister in there, too! Glad to see you are back on the gitfiddle!

Nice Laurel. Steve Cropper is the man. So many cool iconic songs. Is that you playing harmonica too. Sounds like Neil Young . Nice one! Cheers.

Sounds really good.

I want to apologize because I said I didn’t know Steve Cropper in my previous comment! I didn’t remember his name, but of course he’s one of my heroes because he played in the Blues Brother movie, that is a cult movie for me since I was a kid 😅! Now, I read in the internet that he wrote a lot of masterpieces, like for example (Sittin’ on) the Dock of the Bay. I’m going to listen also other songs from him!

Nice ideas Laurel , the motif works well and gives the track a mellow vibe , the harmonica enlightens it further.
I think this very neutral backing track has brought out the creativity this month.
Glad you made it this month
Well played.
