I want to come and see you perform sometime. This is a great song! You know I like your backing tracks with the excellent rhythm parts as much as I like your guitar and vocal work. Henry

It's the birthday boy. Love the feel in this track. Lovely momentum. Great vocals and the staccato (there's probably a better word) use of the bass is inspired. Organ is just right and the guitar is superb, although I like the way it's a little behind in the mix in the early stages. Love the build up in the late 2:40s and the increase in passion in the vocals. Wonderful work, birthday boy.

Hi Keph!!!! I'm sittin here listening to Way Down...loving it and getting some great vibes out of the music arrangement. Your vocals never sounded better...awesome track!!!

positive vibes. latin feel. guitar sings nicely. I like the organ, and the mix is really nice. vocals up front. very nice fat tone on the guitar. Great job! --Z

Sweet!....Very smooth and warm mix..Ya changed guitars on me. This is a very "feel good" sound for me. Like how the vocals are on top of the mix. REAL nice vocal work. Most enjoy your music man! Allways good vibes from it. Your a great artist. Thanks for the music. Keep doing what you do. Nice music. DACE>

Hey Richard, just stopped by to check out what's new on your site. And there it is: Down all around. Did I ever tell you how much I admire your vocal performances? All your songs you write seem to be 'taylored' for your voice. Down all around is no exception. I just love the beat and its latino vibe it creates. Wonderful, just wonderful. The ending leaves a great impression, for sure. Heinz.

Just beautiful. I love this vocals. Superb tune. Hans

WTC7, a 47 story building came down that same day. It was not hit by a plane. This fact has escaped many people. Research it folks. This is a great song for sure my man! Love the lyrics, the cascading backup singing, and stinging lead guitar work. Always love your bass lines/playing. The vocal line and details you've worked into this piece are superb Richard. VERY VERY solid....love it!!! ~Blake

Kephas! Man I always love hearing new stuff from you the level of musicianship is amazing.. the songs are always engaging and I find myself listening a few times to catch it all! and.... to listen to your guitar work!

The excitment that is present in all your toons is awsome to listen too...the musicianship ( arrangement is supurb). It's the vocal work that really stands out for me, i can hear the incredable work within the layers of harmonies..the level of excitment is matched perfectly. bravo Kephas bravo.

Beauty peice man. Wish my spanish was up to it. Love the arrangement and the mix. Well Done really moves well. Regards John

Some day We're gonna have a big party here at our home and I will play all of your songs... guaranteed.. some of the best feel good and party music on the planet!

Yes, it has that usual high quality sound that goes along with Kephas. Great feel and vibe! Good vocal and mix. Sweet!!!!!!!!

I'll take a key of gold my friend! Nice tune with a mix of harmonies. Always dig your tunes! Nice solo as well, great feeling tune. Nicely done. KB

nice groove in the intro and the super smooth vocals come in with some great music in the background. Man I like how you put the horns in the mix and your harmonies are placed perfectly. love this tune Richard!!! aaaaaah the solo in the middle... sweet. flowing really nice!!!!!!

Starts on a dime and carries a real nice rhythmic energy feel with strong changes. Committed strong raw vocals and nice phasing that fits the songs vibe very well. Good production too.. all the instruments are well represented and that themed lead guitar toward the end is icing on the cake. Early Santana comes to mind and that's good stuff in my book. Nice work!

Hey K! Sounding great man. You get such a full sound man. Great vocals and love the "whole band" harmony sound. Excellent indeed!

Love the timin elements going on in this one Kephas.... the breaks and dynamic's are comin across with honours here (playin it outragously loud) lol...the progressive of the bass playing...really highlights the guitar solo perfectly!! nice nice nice. b kool vocal delivery as always... enjoyed this very much

Nice work. Kind of a Genesis feel to it. Timing is excellent and the vocals are well placed and recorded. Regards John

:-D Thanks Mike! One can look at this one as either 5/4 or 10/8 (it's scored in 10/8) - depending on how much coffee you've had! :-D Thanks man!

Hi Richard... I've totally given up on trying to figure out your time signatures...but there's no doubt that you're comforatble with 'em. This song flowed along very nicely. Great vocals, lyrics, and percussion...as always. Nice organ pads. A full three minutes before that great guitar kicks in...you just keep showing your versatility. Great stuff here! YEAH! Hugs...Mike (NAV)

this has a huge sound. like a song on broadway or something. very upscale and high class. i heard the other song, 2093. wow. that was a smoker. the lyrics were perfect for a very fine song.

A vrry cool tune..played and mixed most fine...excellent..strat

Hi Richard... Another cool track. I definitely got some Lionel Ritchie flashes on this...and a little Miami Sound Machine, too...but you still shine through, as always. I loved the lyrics. Great stuff, bro. Hugs...Mike (NAV)

aaah I had to listen....calming after a long day at work. This track is just what I need, the perfect tempo and key and the smooth flow to your guitar....aaahhh...much better now! Thanks Richard!

Kephas!! Just awesome! You are one of my favorite artists here on the Mix. I love the emotion of your vocal on this song and your guitar work is amazing as always!

I love the bass line in this track, its there moving the song along....your singing in this one is brilliantly done as is your .. as Joe put it "patented powerful and passionate guitar solo"

Love the perussion,- that cool motion you have here makes me sway. Vibrant vocals cry out the lyrics of an important message. Good acoustic guitar & some kool keys in the backup. This cries out for descency in our chaotic world. The guitar shines so well coming in and out for awhile, then takes over the vocals to sizzle the message further from the soul, that shapes your vision. Good harmonies. A most superb TUNE. Fine bass thereby the way & that organ is a perfct addition in this atmosphere. Such a Great production, Kephas. -Your friend. -Vesa.

that is some nice atmosphere brother.. like your singing and harmonies alot here.. you know i love your axe work.. this is ambient soulful music at it's finest.. great lex poignant lyrics brother.. the kind i love.. great mix and lots of layers of detail to appreciate.. dig that running bass/guitar riff.. subtle understated.. and then your pateneted powerful passionate guitar solo.. my kind of duende.. my kind of cahones.. my kind of music.. thank you both.. :-)

Brilliant!

Nice Bud! Always enjoy your take on music! Another fine track from a fine musician! Consistancy is your strong point, appreciate the listen. Great job! KB

Very nice understated groove to this one Kephas. Soulful and expressed in an almost reggae feel to it, and I'm digging that Hammond-sound in there. Vocals are distinct and well-defined in the mix, but then again, the whole mastering job is great man. Definitely a great listen upon arising. Peace, Tsargoth

Hey Richard, that's another blast from the past in my SP days. LOVE this version! Excellent chord progression. Percussion is great, so is the bass! Love the vocals! The entire arrangement is simply amazing, my friend! Another addition for my show this weekend on 8/2!!! Cheers, Mike

This is a refreshing sound after listening to some others oldies, love the vocals Kephas, -fine lyrics...This a very expressive song, love the wholeness here, a great spiritual essence, uplifted by your seering guitar taking the message further, -great groove, a reggae fusion to me, so nice...Love the repetition of the title phrasing ever so cool. It stays wonderfuly in ones mind. Love the fine percussion and not to forget the keys. Great! EXCELLENT**** Love it. -Your friend. -Vesa.
