The vocals are great, lends well with the genre. The harmonies are cool, very nice. The arrangement is very good in my opinion. Pretty much classic.You've got a very "storyteller" vibe going on here.Very smooth vocals. Almost has a island type feel with the guitars. Reminds a little of Sublime.Liking the vocals more as the song goes along, this guy's got a good voice. I would like to hear it remixed, give it a little more edge, Brad Nowell like, because I can tell the potential is there.This is really easy to just "get into" i found myself instantly dancing to this, which is always good. This is really original, one of the best here.First off, Nice reggae feel. I love it. The Lyrics are very catchy.Very simple clean production. The lyrics are crafty and flow nice with the melody. All in all, you sound like a fun group to go listen to while chilling with a cold Corona.I am not sure if I am listening to jack Johnson but sure sounds like it, very tight and great sounding, the mood is very lazy mellow.You guys have been hanging around smoking and drinking loads of alcohol listening to sublime . Admit it.. he he. There is a lot to like though I think the feel is great....and that's Barefoot West straight from the listener's mouth.Ryan "G-Funk" Greer bass solo @ Blue 5 on 8-29-08
