The Rhythm Kings
Color Outside The Lines
TRKs not only color outside the lines, they think outside the box... and each week come up with a charming new idea. One of the things I like about this band is their skill in finding that perfect little riff to fill the right space.

So So
You don't often hear a song like this, it's filled with a soulfulness, a plaintive poignancy, a chant-like performance built around repeated chords. But at the same time Shey gives hints of the shallow nature of life, an almost teasing and irreverent vocal style. Very unusual style, hard to pin down.

Jilly's Song a Week Challenge
I don't want to go there (wk 6)
I had so much trouble deciding how to put my lyrics to music, I think I did 20 different versions but this was what I ended up with, kind of Country Rock with a topping of Folk and a really catch chorus.

Statue
Diversity indeed! A Rock song that's impossible to ignore both in lyrics and musical production - enough to blow Lady Liberty clean out of the water. The sound is really packed and punching just like the message. The vocal riff takes no prisoners but pounds upon the walls of perversity with it's relentless inflection of acerbity about the States of adversity in US today!

Welcome to the Challenge shey. This is an interesting lo-fi production with minimal lyrics but it finds a groove in the psyche after a while. Nice to have another participant from the UK. Looking forward to next weeks offering as after reading the bio I'm intrigued.

Oh Oh Oh
Wow! what a powerful, moving song to launch Stoneman's songwriting challenge. The start is kinda scary but it all falls into place when the actual song takes off. The "Oh, oh, oh" motif is key to the meaning of this important message. What an outro too !

The lyrics on Dave's latest s.a.w. entry are superb, so much observational philosophy and clever phrases. Think High Hopes (Rubber plant tree song) Comforting presentation, well worth a listen.

Two Tramps In Mudtime
I bet Robert Frost never imagined his writing would end up as a melodic, sensitive song like this. Good poetry is a great inspiration. Another week another song for this artist.

Drop The Hammer, Let's Roll
This one really speaks to a listener - a classic blues song lifted to new heights by the screaming guitar which undulates from way up there to deep down there in a grungy, attention seeking way that shows no mercy. The strong, steady vocal holds it all together with a dominant, hammering crack of Rockin' Rollin' lyrics

Jilly's Song a Week Challenge
It's just a book (s.a.w. 5)
I haven't done a controversial song like this for ages but it worries me that so many bad things are influenced and incited by and in the name of questionable documentation. I don't doubt that belief is a comfort and inspiration for some people but there are extremists who take old stories literally to justify evil acts

Bite Off The Hand (s.a.w. 4)
Quite a disturbing song, hard hitting vocal questioning with insets of choral harmony, a Blues beat with flutes trailing alongside. Rather Left field

Oh I really like this latest entry from The RKs - it's like a traditional Country swinger but it has a couple of killer notes that make it special.... also like the 5 note extended "here"

Reduced Circumstances (s.a.w. # 2)
The Week 2 song is lively musically but the subject matter is deep. There's a nod to the serious nature coming in the repeating "Oooooos" and the soaring strings.

Calling Out
A powerful start for Bruce's challenge with this deep and personal tale in recognition of a lost soul with challenges to be faced. There is a slow, pulsing rhythm (well this is The Rhythm Kings) Although it has the style of a 'voice crying in the wilderness' production it is more earnest, maybe wistful than sad or plaintive. The "Calling out" mantra is sung with such conviction. Not sure if they'll be another entry next week or next month but I look forward to it.

Weak Knees [s a w # 1]
Here we go then, the first song for the 2019 regular upload challenge. Quite an ambitious one to start off... there's a chance that the quality and length may deteriorate as the year goes on... or maybe not, maybe regular practice will up the game. Hoping to see more brave IMPers taking it on :)

I'm adding J D to the challenge as he's expressed an interest to do more song writing. Not sure if this (or any other recent upload) is new but I'll bend the rules for any prolific and good songwriter :)
