Got a bit of Neil Young and CCR in there too. Got to say too that this reminded me a lot of something from "From Dusk Till Dawn" or even the bit from "Punisher" (I'm gonna play it at your funeral). Would be a GREAT song for a "Gunslinger" flick. You should get a myspace band page together with this stuff. Fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiara Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 You know this was deep as hell. I was driving home and there is this long stretch with no traffic lights and I cranked it up and I felt like I was driving to my last gunfight. Like I knew I might die in this last fight, but I was going to give it everything I had. I know this sounds weird as hell, but I started crying because immediately I was playing things back in my head about family, life, love, loss and the wind was blowing through my hair and I was like dayum this is too much. I agree with FADoss and would definitely recommend it as a MySpace music page. Good music. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mediumfan Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 That was cool, Thomas. Thanks for sharing that. I'm gonna vote for a Myspace music page too. I'd like to hear some more of your stuff. That kinda reminds me a little of Neil Young, as Fred said, and maybe a little Tom Waits (just a little ). Also sounds a lot like another band that I recently discovered that I absolutely love, called the sky about to rain. Great stuff. Keep it comin'.

James O'Brian Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 I'm not a big fan of modern country music. To me, country music is Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, CCR, Neil Young, Hank Williams Jr., Waylon Jennings, etc. This new stuff doesn't have the same feel, sound or even vibe. I just can't take it. But the old stuff. The good stuff. Its amazing. This song kicks ass and I agree with Doss when he says you should have a myspace band page, but only if you want more to hear it. If you want people to come to the forum to listen then it should stay right here in this thread JO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike V Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Funny thing about the Williams' none of them are actually named Hank. Hank Sr. was born Hiram, Junior's name is Randall and III was born Shelton. Also, Bourbon Crow is another country artist worth checking out.

david allcock Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 nice work captain. I'll admit i'm not the biggest country fan but this is pretty atmospheric and (excuse the pun) 'raw'. i like the dry, stripped down feel of it. let's hear some more! also, could this be a theme for a TJ spaghetti western?! you'd be great in a modern DJANGO-style picture. you could even call the main character whiskey (insert cool surname) D.

irish46 Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 Hey TJ, I dig the song, I agree with some of the comparisons to Niel Young and so on...but when was Niel Young ever country? I don't think this song has a country feel at all to it. It's a story telling song, which I love...it feels lik a bar filled with people and cigarett smoke engulfing the upper third of the room song... a guy finishing the tune then acually clearing his throat with Black Jack song... I can just picture this song being played in a dingy Irish pub in Boston kinda song. But hey that is just the coolest thing about a good tune isn't it? It can sound and feel like something different to each one of us. To some it is country to others it is folk, to me it is a hard edged whiskey ballad...bravo man.

I love your instrumentals on this stuff. It's kinda raw (pardon the pun) and edgy. And "Girl in the Woods" is AWESOME! Lookin' forward to hearing more of it.

johnpweber Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Just got back from a 4 mile hike with my daughters. I saw the myspace link and checked out the music. I have to say, after getting home and sitting down, I've got a cold one and am listening to Girl in the Woods for the fifth time. Thanks for helping me unwind Tom. Any chance of getting some more downloads. This is good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJ http://www.myspace.com/frightenthehorses Awesome! I love MySpace for finding out about bands and singers. Oh, and don't have a conniption, I mean this as a compliment, but your vocals on "Spider" sound like the "crying", yearning, blue, pure tone of Chris Isaak (I like his voice). Nice stuff.
