i also want to make an elctric blues version of this one. https://soundcloud.com/mojo-mike/new-found-strangerNew Found Stranger you've become a stranger to my heart cold and lonely as the dark your eyes don't meet mine anymore your silence chills me to the core you've become a stranger to my love shadowed by storms that rage above the lightnin' flash the thunder rolls the tears that rain they flood my soul i wonder who you are as i sense the danger i've become a victim of a new found stranger i used to know you like the back of my hand now somethin's changed i don't understand where's the love where's the girl i once knew don't turn away tell me what can i do you've become a stranger to my name a broken heart you won't explain so be my guest do what you will mark me down as one more kill i wonder who you are as i sense the danger i've become a victim of a new found stranger

Hey Michael,
Very cool laid back vibe on this. I can hear this tune on Dylan's Infidels album, which had some killer tunes like Jokerman and Sweetheart Like You with Mark Knopfler playing some great licks. Really nice write. It just moves along really well.

Got that mojo working on this one, my friend What’s that groove? Basonova? Works really well with the lyrics. Got a Lyle Lovett vibe to the vocals and the solo is cool as hell and sits nicely in the overall groove. All topped off with another excellent write. Love the concept. PS. I didn’t understand this line, ”you've become a stranger to my name”, so for S & G, how about this... All I know now -- is your name. You broke my heart but won't explain So take the shot and end this deal. just a metaphor another mark-- another kill  Ahh…………Well…………..MayBe Not  U Rock

Hey, MLB...
You've got a good sense of the music. And a great sense of the lyrics. So I guess I'm just waiting for that super-creative streak I know you have to take us somewhere we've never been before.

Hi Mike ...
Love the groove ... Country Blues With a touch of Chicago Blues on the resonator guitar. You're clicking on all cylinders.
We also liked the chord structure. Your vocal delivery is perfect for this ...more nice stuff!

Mike, got it now. And what a groove! I love that slinky guitar intro. You have come a long ways on that BIAB. It's really opened up your musical palette. I like the classic blues lyric. A man with woman trouble giving her a piece of his mind. It all works for me.

Nice write Mike.
You might try re recording the vocal in this part though:
i wonder who you are as i sense the danger
i've become a victim of a new found stranger
Seems to go off a bit there.

Super write and a perfect fit for your voice. Like the resonator guitar a lot. Isn't BIAB a great tool?
nice stuff!

hey Vic,if you're referring to,there is no musical space between the 2nd verse and chorus but there is some musical space between the 3rd verse and chorus,yeah i planned that.Prob broke a rule doing it but it was planned.I just used the same music break i have between verse 1 and verse 2 then used it between v3 and the chorus.Does it sound to bad like that?Mike

Mike,
On the "bridge-like" part that Vic was referring to, I'd just use it ONCE like a conventional bridge, but one verse later as there really isn't a chorus here--(which is fine). I like several small music breaks with bluesy stuff for sure. As I think what Vic was implying, or at least I am--tweak the melody at that juncture and experiment with it's delivery there. It might be a great place to build and stop abruptly, then moving on to the last verse. (That effect sometimes dramatizes the last verse which helps a song especially that's not "chorus driven." (JMO)
Great start, here like the vibe a lot!
steady-eddie.
