Don't lose touch with me"..........................
Wonderful song...beautiful piano-line, top guitarwork and heartful vocals...Superb...
This is very unique in a hauntingly, bizarre, swirling way. I say that as a compliment. Once in a while something different comes along and this is different and makes me want to listen again. On second listen, I honed in on the riffing bass lines which are just below the surface but very much a key to the appeal of this song. Well done!
Beautiful song. Very intricate instrumental parts, excellent lyrics. Very compelling music.
Love this mood in your song. Very sullen feeling of alienation. Great lyrics -very good composition. I enjoy the piano; very simple with some tension. Most genuine expressions of moodiness. Great vocal range intensifies your feelings. Let it out; all works well here. Your voice carries this well. Excellent.
Haunting piano. Nice unusual feel to this song Good vocals.Very good subject we can all relate to the lyrics.
Exquisitely orchestrated!This song has rich power in the accompaniment, in the superb vocals, and in the songwriting. There's an expansive majestry here that commands attention - and rewards the listener for it.Fine work!

"Last picture taken"...
Love the bright guitar sound. Good progression; most interesting. Like the way your vocals come in, good stereo effect. The vocal has a good tonal range; lots of expression. You're either playing a 12-string, and interesting how it sounds like a mandolin a bit. This is a well composed song. Great sound mix. Good arrangement. Most EXPRESSIVE. An excellent soundmix. Most moody pensive lovely piece. Very articulate. Like the variance addition of the electric guitar coming in. Most uplifting sound, Great tone. Excellent tune. Like the percussives. 4 x impressive
We have a winner here! Supremely solid playing and singing complement the songwriting well. This song has a large presence - it fills the entire musical canvas.
Top notch writing, recording, and musicianship. Was not a fan of the panning lead vocal at first, but it sorta grew on me. I guess I just wished it were a bit louder. Amazing tone on that lead solo. Nice overall guitar placement in the spectrum with some gentle touches in the production. An all around well-written track with some super sweet guitar playing. .

"New Dark Ages"...
This has a chant like qaulity to your singing. Reminds me of a native Indian singing for a moment. Very emotive piece; very expressive. Like the use of acoustic. Has a celtic style kind of. Good sound production. Like the echoy effect. Makes it interesting. Good range in your singing here. Well done. A unique styled tune. Most enjoyable.
Simply very beautiful !!Fine vocals and lyrics !Quite very good guitar work !Crafted with much taste and class, this folk acoustic song is really a gem !
From first hearing this song, I've felt it to be a true classic in every way.....just what good indie music is about... for me anyway. No more to say.
This one is quite the moody tune! Vocals are... well...mesmerizing. This is a very cool track as it is. Can you imagine if you put a full band behind it?
Absolutely top-of-the-line acoustic/folk!
Mighty fine playing, singing, songwriting, recording, and production work here!

..........Am I doin it wrong....
Another good song here Will,if this is doing it wrong,then we need more people doing it wrong... Love the Greg Allman sound of this tune.Killer vocals and smooth guitar. I think even Duane would like this song. Peace,
You have a very good sound mix on all the songs I've heard.This one has a great guitar tone. Very cool rockin tune; love the addition of the organ. Your vocals are most VIBRANT & emotive. Like the way the guitar envelopes your vocals, and the organ gives a nice groove with the focused percussion and steady bass. Good lyrics. Nice variance in your voice as well as in the guitar playing. Everything is in the right placement for the sound levels to make your vocals stand out. Excellent. Most enjoyable tune. 4 x original. Well arranged.
From the opening bars right through to the organ outro, this is a cracking track... a real fun song that makes me smile big time. What does it for me is the driving guitar, all the other guitar layering, and all the panning of those sexy vocals!
I love this kind of retro laid back groove jam you've got going on here, and how you've mixed and panned the vocals.I think your vocal style is very easy to listen to. The bass line is excellent and it is what propels the song for me.
This was a wonderful experience. From the entry of the bass line and the crash chords in the intro I got the feeling I was going to like this.Great ballsy feel to the rhythm and that's a great thudding bass sound and growling organ you've got going. Love the panning you've got going on in this. Love the lead lines behind the "Am I doing it wrong" section.Great vocals as well jumping from speaker to speaker. Incredibly "sensual" performance all round.Loved this one.
This one grabbed me right at that first power chord and then the melodic, harmonizing, thump of the bass line enters and it was time to grab the headphones, kick back, and take it all in. This is in the same vein of a couple of favs of mine, Peter Gabriel and Robert Plant. The panning your using throughout on the vocals is very cool indeed! I dig it man!
This is an amazing song. Great performance. Wonderfully arranged, mixed and produced. I like the organ. Your singing style on this one vaguely resembles Robert Plant's. Very very nice. Thank you for sharing.

"The wind is crying"
........................
WONDERFUL SONG!What a great performance! The guitar work is exquisite, super sharp and clear without a single slip to this ear. This would be a potent tune if there was nothing else but these fine guitars .. BUT THERE'S MORE, SO MUCH MORE.There are vocals that come up through all of the past and present suffering souls on this planet, vocals that radiate with pure truth. You'd better not turn your ears directly toward this truth - it may burn out your eardrums.Finally, there are the lyrics. Most of today's music is pretty much assembly-line manufacturing ...find some top studio musicians, grab an accomplished vocalist, and slap some words on it all. Slick production can make it sound GREAT. Beneath that shallow surface is a silty, unsubstantial bed. Where there's a WILL CARROLL, there's a significant depth to it all. With this song, you can dive deep, divorce yourself from the mundane world, and marry a mermaid.Who could ask for anything more?
Nice changes and progression,with a memorable chorus.Nice job.
What a great message delievered in this well sung piece..The layout and production is outstanding and it has that feel to pull the listener into reality of life..Great job and really enjoyed my visit to your neck of the woods..
First of all the guitar work is entrancing. Lyrically richly emotive and passionate. Excellent track, hardly missing the missing drums because the guitar's carry the rhythm so well. Nice sensibility on the vocal performance with sparse echo effect in just the right measure. Excellent, sorry I don't have a better word , just excellent songwriting and performance.
Wow. Beautiful vocal. Very emotionally engaging performance of a deep, dark, still composition. Understated instrumental arrangement allows the words and melody to blow through this bleak landscape like a chilling wind.

"Hangin On"
More piano..I think a lot of rock lately has forgotten the piano...beautiful work here ..great backing bass line!! You display a lot of emotion on this track.... great work!! peace out...
This is a very pretty tune. Music mix is right on. Very moody. That light percussion is perfect.
Nice bass running throughout. Good vocals, tricky piano telling a story. This is a unique song, many elements here, blended together very well. Mix & effects hold your attention.
The piano is so soothing and very cool in places. love the arrangement. fine work.

"Start to Rockin"
Good job man.This is a good rock track.Mix is very nicely done.Like the little bluesy swagger on the rhythm guitar parts. Peace...
This brings back the 70s southern rock sound to me. I love it. Great tune brother....
Nifty guitar tracks and some clever vocals...a step back in time when nothin' mattered but that beat...Well done, this is a fine listen, highly recommended!
Great sound. Like your vocals. Not as strained as some rock singers. It has a good tone and texture suited for this nice rock progression. Like the guitar playing. Excellent. Don't stop the style now. Fab. Great energetic artistry.
Oh damn what a really great rock tune... I wish I could make my guitar sing like that someday. Those riffs have the GROOVE! Vocals are also very good... No screaming or yelling...Just good old style of singing.
