Steemit Open Mic Week 67: Traffic Light Blues (An Original)

[byrongrant]

Hi Steemers

This is my first entry for the steemit open mic competition! This song was written while I was staying in Sydney last year and the lyrics came to me after a long evening walk through the suburb of Surry Hills. Hope you enjoy.

Thanks

Byron

Ey Byron! I'm really moved by this blues. Considering the history behind the blues genre, i'm very much attracted to and moved by the blues.. This was such an amazing rendition. I just resteemed this post Byron.

Sounds awesome man! Love that touch of reverb on your vocal, brings the performance right out! You sound like someone I can't quite put my finger on. I'm thinking 10cc maybe.

[byrongrant]

Hi @thesimpson, cheers for your comment. Yes the reverb really helps sustain the vocal part and adds a greater sense of space to the performance.
