Tobacco Road (original song)

[TomMeirose]

Thank you for your very nice comment.

[happymealme]

absolutely wonderful, you should be proud.

[CurtisMateer]

Really good. I like the standard, especially Steve Young's version, but in order to get this many views with a famous name the song has to be good. Seen people consciously try to get hits with famous named originals and get stuff all. Your's was obviously not a planned effort and is all the better for it. I like your influences too. Heard you first on Ron's channel.

[TomMeirose]

@CurtisMateer

Thank you for your kind words.

No, not planned at all. After reading Caldwell's book, I didn't know what else to call it.

Ron, aside from being very talented, has always been a good friend.

[whoiskcwhat]

Very nice Tom enjoyed it , geweldig.

[Upritebass]

Good song! Certainly it would be well received in nashville! 

[TomMeirose]

@Upritebass

Thanks for your kind words. Yea, there's a little of that Nashville feel to most of my stuff, but this one is pure. LOL

[casiosdio]

nice, i like it

[TomMeirose]

@casiosdio Thanks, man.

[panoptikon58]

hi ! (scuse my language i'm french)

I love this video and this song, it feels so cool!

could you please publish the lyrics? I can't stop myself to hear this song in my head... and play it with my guitar!!

Please stay as cool as you're here! have fun ;)

[TomMeirose]

@panoptikon58

I've always wantesd to see France.

Thank you very much for your kind comments.

Sure, I'll stick the lyrics up there.

Take care.

[aztexthedj]

i must say, i'm not a huge fan of this type of music....but i'll have to make an exception, great playing an singing.

keep it up!

[TomMeirose]

Thanks, man. Coming from someone whose tastes lie elsewhere really means quite a bit to me.

[9timesnine]

Reminds me of Neil Young if his voice was deeper. Very nice. Im a young hipster myself. ha. Peace,

[TomMeirose]

Thanks. I'm a big Neil Young fan.

But you're right...whenever I play a Neil tune I've got to play it in a different key. I'm just not gettin' up there in this lifetime. lol

[shadowheart52]

@TomMeirose Well, better luck next life, then. We need more real music like this.

[TomMeirose]

@shadowheart52 Yea, ain't it the truth about that next life?

Thanks for stopping by.

[edwardhackney]

it's great, and so are you. I must say, you look like Gary Busey.

[TomMeirose]

Thanks so much for your kind words.

[darrieta87]

Ah, how easy it is to criticize . I am convinced all these negative, offensive comments come from very sad, angry people. Spread love, not insults. Peace.

[TomMeirose]

Thanks for your kind words.

May peace and love follow you through all your days.

[cwiley63]

merry x-mas tom and happy new year

[TomMeirose]

Merry Christmas, Wally.

[cattymanly]

To all the naysayers, I will say this fellow has done a good and creditable job. That there is so much rudeness and flaming on the Internet shows how rude public discourse has gotten. Tobacco Road has solidly intersected with the flaming sector of the Internet. If this man can't sing like Pavarotti or Mick Jagger, he needn't feel bad. He stepped up to the plate and gave it a sincere effort. The tune and words are actually pretty good. His guitar work is better than most current junk music.

[gary75418]

it makes me wanna vomit,i mean why ruin the name of a cool song ,this guy seems like the kind of guy who sings at pre schools

[collipower101]

I was expecting it to be terrible after reading the below comments but its actually alot better then some of the stuff on you tube. Nice job - its good!

[BaronVonRichthoffen]

I listened to about 20 seconds of you're display of bad talent. You suck...unless of course this is a joke.

[TomMeirose]

No joke, Ace.

But everyone gets an opinion...I'll leave you to yours.

[swham1]

I dig it man...I love the lyrics.

[AXZ300]

Get a job. You suck.

[davey4557]

sorry it aint a hit single

[Trane73535]

GOOD

[TomMeirose]

Thank you very much.

[DIGITOLLIS]

thanks, nice song  π

[TomMeirose]

Thanks for taking the time.

[colmenaresrc]

Bad, Very Bad

[T0m1471]

nice job dad

[TomMeirose]

Thanks, Tom.

You know, I know a good number of talented writers out here, and when they feel I've done a good job on something it means a great deal to me.

But on some level that has nothing to do with one's peers, having you think I did a nice job means a great deal more.

[IThinkWereParkedMan0]

good song man

[tbcass]

Nice song but maybe you should alter the name so there isn't confusion with the very well known song from the 60's by the same name.

[hilly1690]

respect from scotland

[cwiley63]

tom-still waiting for the g.pinaha blues

[TomMeirose]

I'm getting closer. I found the lyric for a tune called "The Victory Swing". Now I just have to remember how that chord pattern went. Soon, Wally...soon.

[cwiley63]

ok tom good luck in the future plans

[ianaj89]

nice job i like it

[TomMeirose]

Thanks for taking the time to give it a listen.

[sadsinger27]

I like this song. It's really cool how you spice up the chord sequence with those little picked interludes...deedle deedle dum...that's bound to stick in my head for the rest of the day. Which is nice :-)

[TomMeirose]

Thanks so much. Anytime a bit of tune sticks in someone's head, that has to be a good thing.

I just stopped by your channel. You've got some really good stuff going. Keep it up.

[nircheek]

i really enjoyed that song! could you send me the words and lyrics as well?

thanks.

[TomMeirose]

I'd be happy to, just as soon as I get through these Holiday blues.

It's a piece of cake, really.

[Jairzinski]

Any time is a good time honeeey :D

Any day is a good day :DD

loved it :DDD

[TomMeirose]

Thanks so much for taking the time to give it a listen. I'm glad you liked it.

[darckfaith]

[TomMeirose]

Columbia. Wow.

Thank you very much for your kind words, sir.

[garyredskinfan]

Hey Tom not bad good melody buddy!

[TomMeirose]

Thanks, my friend. Had a great time when we stopped up the house, btw.

I just might tag along with Dano and Iggy, and wind up in NC yet.

[Ianthebrute]

Great job man!! I totally love the lyrics!!

Could you like email me the lyrics and chords???

[TomMeirose]

Thanks for the nice comment.

I'd be happy to shoot you the words and chords. It's an easy little pattern, you'll have no trouble with it at all.

Take care.

[Ianthebrute]

Thank you very much.So you could like message me them that would be cool.

[cwiley63]

still waiting for the bridge house blues- good luck tom--chris-victory br.

[TomMeirose]

Mr. Wiley. How are you?

I actually did write a tune called "The Victory Swing." Unfortunately, I've temporarily misplaced it. But it may show up yet. LOL

[jimmymccombs]

LOVE THE SONG TOM NICE

[TomMeirose]

Thanks, Jimmy. It's always a pleasure to hear from you.

[QueenOfWannabe87]

Sounds very good Tom :-) Solid performence! peace&love, Queenie

[TomMeirose]

And the same to you, Queen Ann. Thank you very much.

[volleyballjones]

Lyrics and your Gibson Hummingbird sound great!

[TomMeirose]

Thanks so much. Love that white bass, BTW. :)

[cwiley63]

great job tom keep it going chris-victory bridge

[willienelsonpri]

good tempo. really moves. cool lyrics.

[rhopen]

This is just great Tom. You are a great writer. I hear a Guy Clark influence as well as a bit of John Pine in your performances. Keep 'em coming. -Ron

[TomMeirose]

Thanks, Guys. I'm a big Jonh Prine fan, too.

And thanks for giving it a second chance, Danny. You had me re-thinking the whole tune there for a minute or two. :-)

[dannyknapp]

IMHO this one just doesn't flow together, but let me give it a few more listens. I may just not get it. keep it up though, I always look forward to your next vid, Tom !

[dannyknapp]

it's starting to set in :) :) some of my favorites don't quite sink in until after several listens. I think that is the case with this one.

[bluesy13]

Nice Tune Man:)))))I Like That Vibe!!!!!Peace and Happiness my Friend!!!!!Live Free and Rock on!!!!!
