Never too late for a quieter acoustic song. Great gentle and strong vocal range...works well with the complimenting guitar. Fine lyrics. It's a nice change to hear some acoustic artistry. Lovely feeling here. Very heartfelt music. Love this piece. Excellent. -Vesa.

Great Henry! Take no prisoners with this lyric, lol. Nice, wide strummed sound and I can really hear the S. Stills influence in this vocal. Well done! Farrell

Henry :) I am suprised I had not reviewed this,I know it so well Must be the radio stations? Well anyways,ths is yet another solid gold Henry classic. No BS,your voice mate is a winner. Has that touch o grit,and bag full of realness that I love. You are without doubt a songwriter,and they becme harder to find as time goes bye... Star is the vocal of course,but IMHO the songwriting is superb. Excellent work Henry. Nigel.

You've got troubadours and Troubadours ! I'm familiar with ya music via Soundclick ! Your a great Bard Henry....Powerfull unpolished performance ! Amongst the best I've heard from ya ! Strong voice ! A perfect imperfection lad ! Wim

Superb acoustic and vocal in this minimalistic presentation Henry....just fanstastic. Totally enjoyable! ~Blake

Henry....Here to listen..I will hit a few tracks to be fair to your music. Nice guitars sound here, clean and smooth. Very nice vocal work..REAL NICE lyrics. Nother in this to get in the way of what your saying..Like that!...I like the sound of your voice . DACE>

On a one-way ride singing with the wind....very nice vocal delivery and all around performance.....when I go out and play I like all the glitter....but when I'm listening...I'd rather be in a room of singer/songwriters.....good story....I'll have to listen to some more..

sweet touch on that acoustic guitar--fabulous vocal performance!!big fan of yours as i told you recently--this only reinforces that--love your music !! mark

Wow...the only thing that was missing was the applause. It had such a wonderful live feel to it that I was really expecting to hear the crowd go wild. There's something about a voice and a guitar.....and when you play guitar this well and have such a compelling voice it's even more special. Wonderful piece of songwriting/storytelling.....performed exquisitely. Congrats.

Exceptional guitar work and vocals. bri-an mentioned one of my favourite story tellers, Steve Earle, and I can hear why.

Worth waiting for Troob-- I knew this would be good. Just love the way you tell a story, play an acoustic, and I'm hooked on your vocal sound. Crosby, Nash and Young? Perhaps, yeah. But I think I'd like to hear Henry Harrington and moi! (I did alot of CSN when I played live). Dynamite. Gina

very nice!! great lyrics and love the vocals T. acoustic sounds great and excellent playing!

Great! I love acoustic tunings that are played well and you do it here fantastically! All you need is Crosby, Nash, and Young behind you and you'd have CSN&Y's complete sound. Excellent entry! Farrell

This is a terrific tune you got here. Very well done.

Oh, yeah -- an acoustic to die for. Very well captured tones. Nice clarity. And the vocals fit it so well. I've listened through most of the entries, I think, and I think tghis is the one that really grabbed me the most. They're all good -- but there's something about the starkness of the acoustic and your vocal that does it for me. Well doen!!!! paul

SUPERB, HENRY!! I love this chord progression.............sounds so nice. Very gutsy performance all around. Pretty heavy story......whew! Chilling.......GREAT TRACK!!! Rob

ohhh, gorgeous guitar....Beautiful....Oh yes...!!!....Lovely vocal...Great tone...Story teller...Very enjoyable..:-) Peace n Love Mags xx :-))

Yeah, unplugged ... showing off the excellent vocals and allowing the lyric to take front and center. Very emotional delivery that comes through ... selling the song!!

T222 hands down my favorite. something about your style..and delivery. The inner melodies within this simple performance are mezmerizing (IMO) Maybe..because of my love of Steve Earl's style..or just the down to earth basics...that are so appealing...what ever the case..this IS wild good. great listen! great entry!

Great lyric and performance. I love hearing acoustical storytelling. Well done.

Cracking number, really solid delivery well done

awesome to get such an emotional unplugged version of the contest song.. I really like your guitar on this and a very expressive vocal and lyric.. man americana style is so beautiful to hear.. another vote.. cheers..

Hi Henry ! love the mood this gives me ! like the clean arrangement!! a strong and emotional performence both on the guitar and vocals. Really great Christer

Whoa! Heavy, really heavy. The well-told story and the stark cold guitar worked well together. Good job!

Okay-- who are you and what have you done with Henry? An experiment, perhaps? Thank Christ I'm half-deaf. Troub, the words are the coolest-- but I gotta go now. I'm having a hard time breathing. lol Love yeh, man. I'll stick with the folk/acoustic stuff. Geeeezzzzus!

(Avantgarde)...Yes....Very much so. Theres alot to be said about trying things in another way. WHY NOT??? I ask...SO many think there is only ONE way to do music..I tell them, LISTEN to this...:) You can do whatever you like with music! Thanks for doing just that! DACE>

One way to really describe this, unique. Dunno about being way out there. I think this one is on it's way back. Nice one

I'm still confused (lol). Certainly got me thinking.

was hopin you'd return the contest song review favor but with an avante garde genre here you can't stop me form checking this one out too.. hey henry i really dug the song of yours the other night on nexus.. much better than this one i must say.. lol.. I dig the off the wall aspect totally but don't know why it had to sound so chessy.. i dig the part where you play double stops on the box.. if you wanted to grate on thears and get on the nerves this is a masterpiece.. I love your lyrics.. i think this sound will put off the very people who need to relate to it.. lol.. the longer it goes on the more i dig it.. given the dadaesque nihlistic aspects of it.. revolution brother.. I stand behind it.. as a former avante garde chamber music composer.. I salute you.. cheers..

I don't think I've ever experienced the likes of this one before. Avantgarde just doesn't cover it.

Man, that lyric would be so very groovy - black turtleneck - cig holder, open mic - beat-night . I snap my fingers for you. it's way out there man, but it worked for me.

since i haven't reviewed this one yet i've been missing something.. lovely strumming and a nice phat jumbo box sound.. an aged dreadnaught? awesome brother henry.. love your vox on this too.. and great lyrics is what i always expect from you.. yes on this one too.. my kind of western tough guy cowboy song.. high noon.. a showdown.. with mankind.. we deserve to get shot down for what we do to our planet.. great shot marshall.. much obliged.. :-)

Yes...Great lyrics..Nice singing and playing. Henry, its been good listening, I will be back to you. Thanks you for the nice words man! Its great we get to share our music with each other..ALOT of people here have a prob with that..Its a shame. ENJOYED HENRY! Have a day full of wonderment and Music. DACE>

wow Henry....sorry I missed you all this time. Your brand of acoustic and voice here is just dynamite. Wonderfully written, both music and words, this song sticks out as a real statement in several ways. Musically, your great playing and acoustic sound mate so well with the strong and confident vocals. Vocal line well conceived and your voice qualities are really top notch. The statement is confidence. Lyrically, you are a poet...this is just fine stuff. Not only do I agree with your outlook but this is superb and uncontrived wording. The statement is clear and the sentiment unwasted on your listeners. Wonderful and all ways Henry...LOVE IT! Thanks for the DL! ~Blake

Captivating performance. Great power in the message of this song. Passionate performance both vocally and instrumentally gets this powerful message across perfectly. Love the lyrics....beautifully crafted with a real hook in that chorus section. Sensational voice. Great piece of work. Cheers Brian

A most solid and expressive performance! Your songwriting skills shine through in this fine tune in the finger-pointing tradition. It all works here, the crisp guitar, the sharp vocals, and the even sharper lyrics. You've created a keeper, for sure.

Hi Henry Harrington! This a great song man. You have that acoustic sounding so full, crisp, and powerful that all I can say is "it's perfect". In fact the whole song is powerful from the vocal quality, lyric content, to production. It's hard to pull off this kind of sound with just a dude and his guitar but you've done it. Bravo! This takes me back to Stephen Stills' solo days. Farrell

You sound a lot like Harry Chapin. Don't worry, I liked Chapin's voice! I'm enjoying this piece Harry. It displays your passion quite well. Imagine, only in this absurd world of the Independent scene of music would a composer like myself who deals with serialism checks out a composer like yourself whose passion is acoustic guitar and vocals... The absurdity of it all Henry... I truly enjoyed your work Mr. Harrington!

Henry,welcome... It is a pleasure to fin you here in this more adult setting :) Beautiful acoustic piece. Thing is witha song like this where you have guitar and voice,you get nowhere to hide,you have got to get it all on the money. The acoustic has a beautiful tone to,but the star is your vocals and lyrics. If we were live,I would give you a standing ovation,as is,I will simply say excellent and a smiley :) GREATLY enjoyed,and welcome once again mate. Nigel.

Right from the start, the acoustic sounds great....real wide. Then the vocals come in and WOW this is a great song. Hey...Welcome to iMS!

HENRY!!! WELCOME to IMS!! It's GREAT to see Good Friends coming here. I've always enjoyed your music and interaction. This is a SUPER Track. Great vox, great lyrics, and the acoutic sounds powerful and clean. EXCELLENT Song, My Friend! Rob

Henry...Very nice tune...you know me and how I like those open tunings. Songs like this make me want to pick up my guitar and play along. That doesn't happen a whole lot. Good job!

Now I see why Mike K is gonna feature you on his show on Saturday night...Sounding like Bert Janch but better, easier to understand...This is such an incredibly beautiful song...You could easily be famous with music of this quality...Whenever I hear folk music, it makes me feel homesick for England...Superb listen, thanks..:-) Peace n love Mags :-)

ahhhh-- that's better. How can you beat this, really? Henry this is excellent music. I love the way you play the acoustic, and I really dig your voice. I've said it before-- you're one helluva songwriter, my good man. tamborine touch is the cats! Gina

love the title henry.. and the song embodies it perfectly.. storm brewing.. desert storm?.. love the bass kicking in.. starting to thunder.. has a real rainy day raga feel to it.. love minor keys.. all i need.. that acoustic is powerfully lovely.. like the tympany like accents.. thunder indeed.. great jam.. thank you man.. :-)

Absolutely sensational track. Your acoustic playing always complements your voice perfectly and this is no exception. The use of the electric lead in the background is inspired and really adds to the texture. Love the way this track builds up and there is just a wonderful momentum by the time the bass and percussion and harmonies are all in the picture. Magnificent piece of music, beautifully performed. Added to favs. Cheers and congrats Brian

Henry, I just finished listening to several of your songs and am commenting here because this is the last one I listened to. I am blown away by the quality and variety of your instrumental skills and songwriting!!!! The acoustic guitar tone is wonderful and the bass line adds a graeat "background" topped by meaningful lyrics and impressive vocals. I am indeed a fan!!! Thanks for sharing your music. Jeff

Straight away I feel in love with the tone of that acoustic... Man that sounds so.....perfect. Then you sing,and the whole package is comlete,really need say no more. But,there are some very nice touches going on with that electric in the mid distance. Then we have the rhythms and that infectious bassline... Choir floating so serenly. I really should be able to walk into any music store and pick up your music. I can say this much,for my ears,this is pure bliss. Do you sell your albums anywhere mate? Genuine enquiry. Wonderful song once again. Nigel.

Wow...great package here 222! What a nice surprise! SO well done... i just have this cranked to the "take notes..this guys got her down mode" Just love the separation you have achieved with this fine piece of audio artistry. excellent execution. instant -FAN -ka-ching!

Wow, fantastic tune here, brought back memories of the Marshall Tucker Band to me. I love the story and the color added by the electric guitar works beautifully. Harmonies add a nice sentimental touch. This is music I would keep in my own stock!

Man!! I LOVE the power of your acoustic guitar. Great vox, super harmonies.....The occaisional choir type background is AWESOME!! SUPER PRODUCTION! Enter the tympanis..(Spelling??...oh well?!?!?).WHEW!! GREAT TRACK, Henry! Rob

Excellent tuning, tone, and playing Henry. The dry vocal works well at letting the grit in your voice come through without any masking. Also I like the lyric here. Good one! Farrell

Hi Henry, man I never realised what a great acoustic player you are, killer tone and soulful vocals, crystal clear. Some beautiful home cookin, a lyrical masterpiece and of course a great performance. ..a must listen..

Again just a fantastic acoustic journey, with some brillent playing. This is music for the campfire which there just isn't enough of. I would have liked to have heard a smokey Mountain violin backing in there. Great work,Henry.

fantastic guitar sound!! absolutely stunning. this is a great piece. very clean recording and fantastic vocals.

Hey Henry...I always liked this track too. It's exciting to see you here. Your guitar work is so powerful, clean, and tastefu. Super pickin', I must say. Rob

Oh Yeah...The Happy Pill...Doesn't seem to do a good job as the suicide statistics show...I have an old magazine from 1923...The ads in it for drugs that would cure just about anything are hilarious...If I need to feel better I listen to music...I'll be back to get my prescription filled

Much of what was good about the 60s and been nearly lost is distilled in this fine song. Strains of Dylan, Guthrie (both) and CSNY all intertwined in a fine example of meaningful songwriting. AND a banjo!

henry,i heard this on nexus last week and was completely blown away--i absolutely love this stuff--gonna get my vote as one of tops of 2008 nexus best--no doubt--so soulful and the picking is fabulous!! my guitar teacher from many years ago(dana klipp) turned me on to this stuff--you and him would get along great--he was elizabeth cottons sideman for some years before she died!! anyways------- killer stuff!!! mark

classic! guitar playing reminds me of some of early CSN. beautiful. I wonder what this would sound like with some harmonies like CSN used to do. Awesome tune.

I agree. The lyrics is the heart of this song. Nice story though. Cool banjo arrangement and awesome sound all in all. Keep it up!

The real secret of this tune is the words... how true. Another great job of song writting here. The banjo stays far enough in the background to accent your playing. Defenitly a fan!

This is a FAVE of mine from you! LOVE that Banjo!! Man!! HENRY!! I'm SO EXCITED to see ya here. :-) ALWAYS LOVED your lyrics Rob

thought i might find some remedy here for what ails me.. thank you harry.. margot thanks you too.. I like the minor funk blues groove you are stroking so sensually.. I like the harmony singing a whole lot.. love that combination of falsetto and full voice.. the dream nature of the lyrics is just what i needed.. love that old style overdrive tone on the tasty lead man.. nice strong acoustic based jam.. cheers..

Intro reminded me of the "Tusk" vibe then the tune settles into a fine example of "hand made" music. Nice harmonies and a "left field" solo (excuse the pun!)

cool primative feel with the hand percussion - against the outstanding acoustic guitar.

I like the bass line on this one. very nice. good tune. I did not like the panning on the solo. That probably is because I have headphones on and it is panned hard left. Another great track!

This one is eating at the same table as some of Neil Youngs latest work (a very good thing to me). Your acoustic work is just a pleasure to listen to. The subtle harmonies were well recorded and really make this a professional take. Cannot deney the the lead solo was just what the song ordered.

hey Henry, needed to here your acoustic playing again..never a disapointment. That progression you do on this is really quite cool, your guitar always sounds good to. Again, soulful lyrics and an undenyable performance. ..a true solo artist you are.

Appreciate the man and guitar sound.... its refreshing and genuine... a certain purity and simplicity of space to enjoy the song. Nicely done!
