Hi Jim this is such a Cool groovy song..............superb production ........ The style is so Unique and I love that. best regards Jay From The Autumnleaf

Hey Jim Excellent track !...I really like the tone of your voice and your phrasing !...and the there's Mark Cloutier!!!...Two great talents together ! Well Done Henry

Love the darkness, power and mesmerizing heavy rhythm. The spoken vox and guitar fills fit perfectly. And the approach to the blues... well, actually this is not a blues, this is not even a blues on steroids - this is maybe what a blues will sound like in the 23rd century if the stars align right and if the right musicians are born. Great work, gentlemen!

Oh man,that's another Coolio!!Words are hittin' like the bullets from the gun.Some thousands B.E.G. (before the Electric Guitar) you'd be the Prophet/Shaman.You have such incredible authority/Power in every woird you say...it's amazin'....

Just hear it again. And the song deserves to be heard a number of times. Oh man I love your rocking style and that distinctive voice!!! Jim its reall GREAT!!! Erik

This could be a film track...it's a brooding mooding feel; can see the motorbikes comein after you on the highway...with you having a half hour lead. Take her with you. Cool vocals as always. Wailing guitar makes this a darker haunting appeal, two good guitars...yeah kinda bluesy alright, well told story, fine synth, nifty strings, sweeping sounds... and like the percussion. Unique piece...Mark is great at following any type of genre...this is your own...no need to pin you to anything; just plain Great!! Your friend. -Vesa. Fine chemistry.

Wonderfully dark and brooding piece of music. You've done a great job with the backing track, Jim. It's tight but still has a sense of looseness about it, if that makes sense. Just the right instrumentation to get the mood across. Love the laid-back but yet theatrical nature of the vocals. Mark's playing some lovely lead lines too that fit in really well with the mood of the track. Excellent balance on the mix and quality production. Great stuff. Cheers Brian

Yes, there are Pink Floyd influences in the lead guitar but you have your own style and I like it! The sound is really good and your voice too. Great song, thanks! :) Laurent

now this is a cool piece of music. Jim really digs in here with the instrumentation.. keeping it on the edge of raw but still powerfull and huge! The spoken word against this ultra cool groove is certainly fitting for this tune. At times Pink FLoyd comes creeping thru. but its still JIM!! great stuff man.. you know i am a fan!!

Hi Jim and Mark. This has a cool lose nature about it, feels comfortable. Dig the big heavy hits with Mark riffin around them. Great bluesy style vocal Jim, "Workin for the Man" fits so well. Yep, liked the downtempo feel of this, good job guys..

Great collab guys: lots of power on this one. Performances are just awesome! Production is so nice. Great guitar work by Mark. Excellent vocals... GREAT work!!!! *****

Mark has established himself as a blues guitarist of the first order. Here, he slows it down enough for older ears to catch every note and leaves enough space for your vocals to breathe a whole new dimension into the song. Excellent work by both of you gentlemen!

Jim --- This is the most non-standard blues I have ever heard, and I love it. I love it when someone says, "Oh, I don't like the blues. It all sounds the same." Ha! They need to hear this. No 12-bar anything here. The tempo, delivery, etc., is way outside the box, but it still drips "blues." The lyrics do tell it all with a raw-nerve edge and honesty. Great collab, on a most unique song. Good job. Paul

Jim and MarkC, Workin' For The Man (Mark Cloutier On Lead Guitar) is a blues song that gets down to the nitty gritty through your lyrics, voice, instrumental backing and Mark's guitar leads. I enjoy the way that even for a slower tempo, this rocks...quite a good flavour and feel. Nice to hear another great collaboration of talented musicians bringing out the best in each other. Cheers, ZEST

Well... I can hear something from John Lennon's "Rock'n Roll" here... ..Such a thick and warm sound... Kinda hypnotizing feeling... Cool song... I do like this one !

you got a few here i haven't heard jim.. with markC i had to hear another one from you.. soundin real nice guys.. heavy and slow.. my kind of flow.. I'm along time fan of you both as you both know.. thanks for the show..

It's been too long since I heard you voice Jim!! This has got a real brooding feel to it that just pulls you along. It's not just the tone of your voice that works so well, it's your timing as well - absolutely spot on. Mark's guitar is Claptonesque in places (reminds me of Clapton on Roger Water's Pros & Cons of Hitchiking)- just the right guitar fills, fitting in in all the right places. Paul

Yeah,cool collab guys. Had me thinking of Robin Trower,Twice Removed era... Excellent lyrics as always. Mark,well what is left for me to say about Mark that I haven't already said. He always brings a lead to the piece,unique,and fresh. Yep,very powerful and brooding song Jim. Nigel.

just gonna sit back a listen to this exceptional song! Ahhhh Jim, Mark....Awesome!

JEEEEEEEEEEEEEZZZEEEEE! JIM!!! YOU are NEVER ENDING!!! I saw BLUES!! and yep! I gotta new style of Blues....A Jim - Mark Special....VERY VERY COOL!!!! I ABSOLUTELY was SURPRISED and LOVE IT!!!! Spoken is GREAT and Mark SHINES as always :-) GREAT COLLAB, GUYS!!! Rob

jimbo--an absolute pleasure to play on this--so freaking cool--seems to have a robin trower meets jim rustemeyer thing about it!! great to hear this again!! mark

YEAH cool, cool, cool! JIms distinctive voice and that unique guitar sound of Mark. You play what I need to hear sooo groovy. My friends that outstanding. Erik

Hey Jim, this has a neat atmosphere that is unique to the 'Leo Kottke' style of playing; love it...this is so pleasant and you're doing it your special way with some added cool touches/sounds. SUPERB pickin' -into my fave roots. You're very versatile Jim...wonderful to hear this. The soft synth overlapping adds more warmth; clever idea. Love that unexpected tempo change - neat arrangement-like a horse bolting out of a gate. A bit country fast playing. Well performed. EXCELLENT. A fave it is. Thanks good friend. -Vesa

The main guitar theme is beautiful and well executed. Peaceful sounding and heart-warming. Glad to have heard this. Clever, quick ending to the song. jk

Great song, beautifull guitar picking. I especially like the way U blend the "effects" on the background. Very good mastering. Poetry....

Wonderful picking Jim. You have a great feel for the acoustic. Lovely melody, the tune keeps going round in my head.

Oh, yes, this is exactly how I play (until someone jars me out of my reverie state with a piercing yell of "Wake up, Fumble Frets!")! EXCELLENT playing, Mr. Fretwell, and most enjoyable listening. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent playing...such a sweet progression. Great production. Man...that guitar just sounds so beautiful! Awesome track!

Jim Rustemeyer, WIP For Rob Grant is a beautiful and meaningful instrumental for a great man in Rob Grant. I remember reading what happened to Rob, and the scary time he was going through. I'm certain that Rob must have recovered a lot faster because of this piece. The guitar playing is wonderful !!!! I imagine the softness of it all brought a sense of ease and peace when Rob and family gathered around to listen to this. You have the gift of healing through the resonance of your music and personality. Worth listening to many, many times because there's so many nuances that can't be garnered with just one listen. I like the details and inflections throughout this track. AWESOME !!!! Cheers, ZEST

Hi Jim... Wow...this is just beautiful stuff. Great playing...loved the occasional synth pads. Crisp and clean...and the fact that you did it for Rob makes it all the better! Thanks for this one. Hugs...Mike (NAV)

hi jim i have listened to this track many times now and the more i play it the more i like it you have some great guitar work going on and your playing is !wow! sue

OUTSTANDING fingerpicking!!!!! Jeff

You make a very technical [and hard guitar] part sound so fluid and simple. I appreciate it is not. Only something which comes from the heart flows like this. I did not even suspect the change coming in at the ending. Wow that's good.

JimDad!!! Ya syumped me with this.......I LOVED THIS THEME!!! I found it VERY CHILLING......it was a little eerie and a bit cheery......I just couldn't imagine who it was. The thing I really liked was the change from acoustic to an almost ambient feel. When I finally got my list in order, I was ROCKED!!! I have been wanting to tell you, but not quite as fast as I wanted.......Your acoustic path is AWESOME and the way you mixed the electronic is SO YOU.....you STILL maintain my name for you...MR. CREATIVITY !! AWESOME IDEAS and EXCELLENT JOB, DAD!!! Rob

Niiiice, Jim. This is a really light-hearted and relaxing tune-- and a great display of your guitar-pickin' talent. It will definitely bring a big smile to Rob's face. Very nice, bruth. Gina

Hi Jim, thanks so much for your support - and we hope you enjoyed a wonderful Easter day :-) Wonderful feeling in your play, including all the heartfelt wishes for a friend. Plus ambient moments adding a "special atmosphere" to this intimate session, especially in the end section with that increased swing.

boy the acoustic sounds absolutely beautiful! Downloaded for my Nexus Show!

damn man you can pick that thing jim---you arent fooling anyone--you a darn good guitar man--lol!!! heartfelt piece for rob!! gotta whole album and then some from artists here--this is one for n album--a beauty!! mark

Great picking and the sound that comes in just creates a nice mood on it. Excellent!! Christer

Another style another gem by JIM. Poetical, fragile and glamorous. WONDERFUL tune - send you all my compliments JIm. Erik

Very nicely done and quite tastefully played. Rob will love all of these songs, I am sure. KB

That's some excellent playing and composition Jim. Love the tone of the guitar as well.

Hey..Jim, Excellent guitar work......sweet !!. Rob will enjoy this fer sure. I loved the change towards the end. Beautiful tune,with the right vibe........the chord changes were excellent.... great job !!!! Larry

Love it....I can say enough about this track...I would love to watch you play...musical poetry in motion I say.......:)Bud

Jim, this is some beautiful picking...great control of those fingers and a superb chord progression...man i love it just the way it is!

Some very god picking on this one Jim. Really like it better with just the guitar, the other part seems to detract from the impact of the guitar. Good work man. Peace, Tsargoth

love that guitar picking jim.. man that is just lovely and lively.. american guitar playing brother.. rob is this beautiful or what brother?.. jimbo.. this is just a perfect gift.. one of the sexiest and sweetest I've heard.. really straight ahead great pickin with an powerful joyful vibe.. thanks jim.. really love this one man.. thanks for the DL.. cheers..

Hey Jim. Really tasty guitar playing...when the background wash comes in just sets this soaring...like the change near the end...Enjoyed this, as i think Rob will too. Cheers!

JIM!!! HOW YOU MAN??? WOW!! THIS IS WONDERFUL BUDDY...:) ROB WILL LOVE IT..:) SOOO NICE MAN!....! Great sounds.................Most wonderful flow. SUPER! What a nice list of tunes we have for Rob..:).... allmost 20 now..:) JIM...Very nice tune bud! DACE>

What an interesting production on this one, Jim! Love the drums, and the guitar with slick slapback on it is just so sparkling and fresh! Love the energy and open feel to the song. The rather sinister voiceover gives the piece a dark overall tone to mostly joyous explosions of guitar mayhem. Fun and foreboding, at the same time! Loverly! SFAM / NG

Lovely Picture to start with, Superb playing, Great mix But Guitars is excellent. and Vocals very distinct and superb mixing and product .That makes great Music. A very Entertaining kind of music as one would be looking to hear what next every second. Great musicianship regards Jay

I was intimidated by the song picture here and had to listen! Great vocals on this one, great guitar riff at 1:10, nice use of tremolo bar at different points. Original tune ! +10 great job !

That's what I call a Future....Jim.Flabber-bloody-ghasting.Really luv it.

Oh man Jim - you come out of the gate screaming!!!! Yeah: this runs over you...you're putting it down. The guitar work is awesome - but the mode you're setting - yeah... My privledge has been to experience your exquisite wit and humour during chats...it's so great to hear that expressed in your music!!!! EXCELLENT!!!!! :)

Missed this one-never too late...Always dig your spoken word. Nifty cool guitar playing. Feels like late at night down a big city street,cool efx. with a few punks on the corner; police cruisin'. Like the change here; rockin' great! Nice variance...really rocks well fro me. Like them keys and love the guitar tone changes. Jim you'd make great TV show soundtracks. 'CSI Tulsa'. Alright yeahhhhhhhhh-love it. Great rockin tonite. Superb Jim. -Vesa

haha this is great. i love the "i don't care" kind of attitude that comes with the song. great guitar work, your chord work is awesome too.

W>I>P Yeah right Jim. This sounds pretty much tagged bagged and ready to rumble I bet Marlon is freaking twiddling the buttons and sliders on this. Sweet manic guitar phrases Sly

this is just FLAT OUT FREAKIN COOL!... the intro is just bubblin with energy and the sounds that follow are genius. I like the spoken word bits that drift thru... but the DRILL just makes this song feel real. The guitar and bass is PURE JIM!!!! great song crafting here and some awsome tones

Couldn't leave Jim without checking that icon..lol, that girl? made me nervous and sweaty. ya!! heavy duty, I've heard this one before, not sure if you did a remix, its sounding great. Some top notch git riffin going on here to and that big heavy change really stomps. More of your imaginative and conceptual writing, you really have a knack of using your vox style to tell short stories..I enjoy them, more great work and this one is groovin good.

you are whailing away on this jim--some cool feedback underneathe!! cant say it enough--you have the cool thing down man--you cant learn cool--you just are it! great whammy use!! loving it!!

Now that's getting creative! The pix looks like a singer I once had back in the 70's. The guys thought he was a she. LOL. Gotta love the creativity in the song as well. Love the attitude of the song. There were many unexpected things popping up keeping me intrigued. Great mix along with some fine musicianship.

love that pic.. that you jim?.. lol.. man this track got that kind of muscle though.. in spades.. love the texture of the layering and the screaming guitars.. you and me are back on the axe with a vengence eh? must have been IMS got us goin.. that middle 1/2 time feel just stomps.. what an awesome tone and riffs.. don't really know how i missed this one before but i'm glad i got it now.. holy cow.. this goes on my faves list pronto.. another really excellent outing jim.. love the bassline and all the changes.. the progressions are varied and perfectly placed in musical space.. a cook? man you are the CHEF.. chief composer of witty meaningful lyrics and naration.. or shoudl we call this jim rap?.. love it big style brother.. honto.. :-)

Jim Rustemeyer, Kickin' and Screamin' really shows your ability to construct a song that really punctuates your songwriting, performance and arraingement talents. The guitars are smoking...probably the cause of the fire engine sirens...:) Interesting use of the "megaphone" style vocals. Gives the overall sound a streetscape feel. Being that I'm from the city, you have captured one element of what it's all about, Kickin' and Screamin'!!!! Thank you for bringing your music to us all. Food for thought, and an enjoyable trip !!!! Peace, ZEST

yeah,that's how I'm goin. love this jam... Will

A fun ride- hot jammin. Police car guitars. Politician singer- Guitar slinger- -cool --!!!

Love the changes in this song Jm. Thick guitar and a nice texture behind. Great composition, so imaginative. Sweet stuff!

Bag of attitude and a wall of sound. Some of the best guitar I have heard you play Jim. The narration is excellent LOL..... This really is a rock number,witha twist. It's sound is classic rock,but the writing is taking it off at right angles... It could so easily have been justa rock number,butit grew into something far more exotic. Some nice bass work as well Jim. Humour,power and just a touch of darkness. Excellent. Nigel

I think the extra 15 minutes was just right. Added a nice crispiness to the mix but kept the mouth watering taste.

Great groove. Powerful and dark feel. Would make a great, edgy soundtrack. Nicely played and recorded. You look good in the photo. Very fit! What do you have for breakfast! Cheers Richard

You're creativity is amazing. This is just one hell of a song. Superb changes ,all working with great taste and musicianship.!!! I totally enjoyed the listen,,,,,what can I say !! Larry T.....

You're a damn ggod cook Jim and it shows in this tasty entre of a track. Theres some dynamic changes going on...classic JR. Man that guitar is flame broiled in some of those solos and other parts its just simmering adding to the flavor.

Cool futuristic piece!You're breakin' new ground.Very catchy,not a dull moment.Likey!

Yeah...Sly and Jim - two top-notch artist, together, offering an excellent track for us mortals! :) Yeah...this is deep...why do you do this Jim? You "make" us think...yeah. Thx man...you make us think. I love your music: allied to Sly here, it expresses reality in a logarithmic way...yeah: I know - stupid way of saying it...:-D Love it...LOVE IT!!! WTG guys - GREAT track!!!!

Jim, Steve - Congratulations on this fine song. The prodcution is top-notch and every minute of this tune is a pleasure to listen to. From the very beginning it captures the listener. What a great collaboration! Cheers Heinz.

Fine intro here nice sound palette ! The beat has a cool laid back groove ! Sly Puppy brings in a nice Peter Godwin vibe...Lovely dreamy atmosphere ! The vague guitar sound is like I never heard before....original...as is the chord sequence ! The mix is fine !This tune is best described as a little exquisit candy box ! 5 stars....no less !

It's not easy trying to pick out what I like best about this song ... the instruments that come in, drift out, and slip in again ... the silky vocals ... that understated and stately guitar playing. I'll take the safe path and go with the atmosphere this tune creates. Most enjoyable listening!

This has such a great rhythm, with a nifty percussion..Like the droning synth sound eminating from the background and coming forward. Kool vocals, gentle sound. Love the neat guitar tone. Great sound efx. like an industrial fusion of ambient, a diacotomy of sorts. Fine lyrics. Really enjoy the guitar sound and progression. Wonderful atmospheric pulsation. Excellent.

Jim these ideas must come from off world .. they are soo fresh and so NOT cookie cutter. I like the treatment you give your music. This song really brings out the level of competence you have achieved with your music. Simple yet incredibly effective music JIM with those patented low notes... Thats what makes an AE tune.. freakin awsome

Jim Rustemeyer and Steve Page, In Every Corner (With Emocion)is a song that combines the talents of 2 great musical artists bringing the listener great sounds and feel. I like the key you have chosen for this song, kind of deep and dark...yet, upligting at the same time. There's sounds in this that really tickle the ears. There are a lot of great details you two have put together here. The transitions really take me to different places...including..the corner of my mind.... Great collaboration !!!! Peace, ZEST

"and every corner of my heart is filled with thoughts of you" Jim I never even realised you'd posted this here mate. A huge thankyou to everyone for the positive remarks here and of course to Jimbus for letting me try to sing on his song. Too all the musicians and friends here You make my shine brighter. Sly
