What a great line. Very visual lyrics throughout - as always.
An this:

Cool tracks. Scott's guitar (lapsteel) compliments nicely.
Enjoyed it.

Really nice collaboration - some wonderful imagery and a nice complimentary backing.
Enjoyed the guitar parts and the vocals.
A really good song.

Cool.
Quicksilver Messenger Service vaguely countryish Psych.
Ceriatone make very cool amps.
Personally I'd like the vocals a little lower in the mix but that's personal taste.
Tasty additions on guitar & lapsteel.
Cheers

Lyrics are fabulous, so many great lines. Vocals sound good too.
And Scott is the king of coming up with catchy, melodic lines in my book, very effective and memorable (lap steel is cool too!)
Excellent work Robert and Scott, enjoyed the listen!

Great work on this Robert! I really enjoyed the overall progression and I found this very easy to listen to. Great work on the guitars and nice work on the vocals and use of EFX. Cool picture on soundcloud too!
Cheers,
Joe

Floyd, Thanks - it encourages me a great deal to hear that positive response to lyrics, though for once this song began with the chord changes. I think you`ll be hearing more of Scott`s new lap steel; he seems to be on a fast learning curve! Robert Robert & Scott

Now how could you know the original Quicksilver Messenger Service are my favourite band of the era? I`ll give the mix another listen re: vocal levels- definitely want that lapsteel to come through. Robert

Really loved this song the first time I heard the demo track. Was a little nervous putting in the lap steel as it is quite a different beast. Tom Adams is quite an accomplished pedal steel player and had me thinking of trying this instrument out. After listening to Graham's lap steel songs it knocked me off the fence. Has some very interesting sounds in it..

Yes, you guys are becoming quite a team!! I never tire of the trippy 60's/70's sound. It is a huge part of my musical identity. Very cool!! Great job by you both!! Take care. Greg

Your songs are a bit more "challenging" that most - but after a couple of listens, I got the hang of it. Nice, it grew on me.

I really enjoyed this one Robert  I love the slow progression here. Definitely a hint of psychedelia here, which is never a bad thing in my opinion! The tone of the tune is almost mystical, and there's some really nice guitar work - plus, your vocals match the pulse of the tune perfectly. Great work and thanks for sharing!
Cheers,
Deryk

Hi Robert,
Very dark and very profound. Lots of imagery here and lots to think about,
even long after the music has ended.
Some of the best lyrics I can remember seeing on the forum.
Nicely done.
ROG.

Excellent work Robert and Scott, enjoyed the listen! I blame BiaB for unleashing this kind of songwriting - wouldn`t have dreamed of writing these songs with no way to bring the backing to life... oh, and then I found this cool guitarist who had a use for my words! Many thanks for your positive comments. Robert Robert & Scott,
What a collab!
Scott's guitar sounds wonderful.
And such cool lyrics.
The vocals are great!

As I said on soundcloud this is spacey in a great way. Really enjoyed it. Great job you two! I love the title, Dead Letter Postman, wish I had thought of it! The lyrics are spectacular. And I didn't know Scott had a lap steel. Scott is that you??

And I didn't know Scott had a lap steel. Scott is that you?? Some very cool images in the lyrics. After listing to Graham’s lapsteel (furry) Thought I would pick one up. Lots of fun and a little easier on the hands.

Excellent work Robert and Scott, enjoyed the listen! Well, that hits on ALL of our the buttons We always think of you when Songtadr requests submissions of psychedelia. And yours are so very literate. We love it all AND by the way have been fans of the lap steel since the early Dave Lindley's time with Jackson Browne. Excellent! J&B
