I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season. It’s good to hear Glynda is breaking out of the big house. I’m wishing her nothing but the best of health. Well, here’s little ditty, I’m working on for the Voodoo Smile, album. Frozen In Time I think I had the guitar mic’d and plugged in.  oops.

Nelson, I loved the way you begin this, just your voice and the guitar and the mood you create as you tell the story. Great vocal. Great story. Great performance. And you make that lead guitar bleed tears. What else is there to say? You've got a classic Nelson tune here.

NELSON--
YOU'RE SOUNDING GREAT IN THIS ONE--JUST MY THOUGHTS: MAYBE A LITTLE FASTER TEMPO, JUST A TAD--AN OPTION WOULD BE TO MAKE THE LAST PART OF THE VERSES INTO A BR1 AND BR2 (SHORTER VERSES WITH BR) AND LEAVE THE ICEY VOCAL CALCULATED BRITTLE AND COLD IN THE BR 1 AND BR2--JUST THINKING OUT LOUD--I LIKE THE IDEA BEHIND FROZEN IN TIME!
WRITE ON BRO'--LOVE YOUR SONGS--

Another wonderful Nelson tune. Smoothly delivered with an amazing amount of "believability" in that voice. I just the love the "feeling" you get into all your stuff.

Hey thank you much Calvin. I really appreciate your time and kind comments. Yeah pretty wicked huh. I love playing with words, just as you do in you songs. Care less about rhymming schemes and more about saying things. I try to any way.

It's got a kinda Dylan/The Band feel. I could hear a B3 or some killer harp on this. Love the vocals.

Dylan, Neil Young and now Tom waits have come out with new albums since I started this project. I was thinking where's my man Willie's new stuff? I did this version of the song in homage to Willie Nelson.

I've been working on this dang album since 09. So you can imagine the title and art work has changed many times but I'm in no hurry. I'm treating it as if it's the last thing I'll ever do.  I'm having a ball

This is beautiful. I honestly kind of enjoy the slower tempo. It's a good video montage song haha

Kurt beat me to it. As I was listening, I was thinking that this sounds like something Dylan would have done between Planet Waves and Blood on the Tracks.  Love the lyric and the way you sing it, Nelson. Totally believable. Slow waltz time gives it a great feel too.  Scott

I don't know why but the waltz timing seems to come so naturally when I'm writing. I just love it.

I was wondering why it sounded kind of "wavy" but i think you mentioning the guitar was recorded twice at the same time so that must be it.
Cool song with a good vibe. Not my personal favorite of yours but they cant all be! Still worthy of putting on your album for sure.
Nice job.
Ricky

Ricky Hey ricky Thanks for stopping by. Maybe you'll like the next arrangement of this one better. It's more piano and strings and I wrote a chorus for it.

Hi Nelson, This link is working for me so I can listen to both songs now. I'm listening to I want you now, it sounds great! I'm very impressed with this song, nothing sounds out of place at all to me. I'm just plain jealous! Listening to Frozen in time now, wow you did it again. You're very good at this songwriting thing. I'll be watching you.  Dottie
