Re: Rate The Song Above You II

Their first single released in 1967. Not bad but not my style. Pleasant song though. 7/10

Cuby and the Blizzards-Crying Tears 1968

I love it when somebody does something different and interesting with 12 bar blues, which by definition is a slightly limiting musical format, and this oldie from 1968 is an example of what I mean, I like the feel of this and the way they play around with and stretch the possibilities here, nice guitar sound, give it an 8/10

Rate this great protest song, from the same era, one of my all time favourite bands...

Re: Rate The Song Above You II


Sure, I'll do it EF....as long as you rate my track and get me involved in the mix!

I'm not a huge metal fan these days but I know enough about the genre historically to be able to pass comment.... the opening riff actually reminded me of 'Space Station #5' by Montrose, then we have a very Bruce Dickinson-esque/Iron Maiden vocal, so it's a bit derivative of a lot of other stuff (which is always my main problem with metal) but I quite liked it by the 2nd time I played it, especially through my headphones as everyone else in the house is still asleep in bed!! So I'll give Running Wild/Soulless 7/10.

Well, what to say about CCR's Fortunate Son. If someone hasn't heard this song they have been living in a cave!! Swamp/blues/rock one calls it?? Intense lyrics and music. 9/10.
