1. BENEATH THE SOUTHERN SKY - full demo (ballad) - \"Driving down the road I saw a southbound train headed for the Mason-Dixon line. From somewhere far away I heard a sad refrain calling through that lonesome whine. It carried me back along that track to another place...\"
Wow, this is definitely one of, if not my actual favorite of yours, Allan. It’s a top notch song. I really, really enjoyed it. Very well done all the way around. Congratulations.
This is a really solid song. It seems like it wouldn’t be out of place having been done by someone like JD Souther or even The Eagles somewhere along the line. It really has that Laurel Canyon vibe from the late ’60s and early ’70s that appeals to me no end.
I especially like the melodic choices on the vocal melody. Very nicely done. – Tommy
