RE: Steemit Open Mic Week 43 - City or Town (Original Song)
Great song man I absolutely love that finger-pickikg pattern within this song. Gives it an almost bluegrass feel but singer songwriter/folk vocals. Awesome blend of sounds my friend.
Thanks very much man! It's an interesting observation. I do really like some what they seem to call 'progressive bluegrass', so maybe there's an influence there I hadn't thought about.
I've always loved the sound of bluegrass instrumentation but could never get into the kind of "back woods" style vocal tendencies. So stuff like this seems to satisfy my love of the complex picking without diving headfirst into a hillbilly song about the smoky mountains or whatever else haha. Your vocals give it a more modern feel for lack of a better explanation.
Yeah, I know what you mean about some of the sound and lyrics. I tend to like more complex chords than traditional bluegrass has too. I like stuff like Bela Fleck a lot.
