RUSTY SIDE OF ME... Like the way he starts off the song.. good feel farm song.. me being a farm girl in Virginia brings back a lot of memories here for sure. Barbwire well thats all we had on the farm back home in Virginia for the Cows. Rusty Side Of Me can go in different directions... the train reminds me of my Uncle Fred talking about how he worked for the railroad for many years... he will talk you to death. The Barbwire also is a friend of mine's nickname Bob Jones my reining friend. Well the beat up Old truck is my husband's 1997 Dodge Dually looks like its got gun shot holes on the side of it... you cannot miss his truck in the parking lot... so dag gone UGLY... Good job on this song !!! U Got My Vote !

La voix est interprété avec beaucoup de clarté bien articuler ,et limpide tres belle mélodie passe bien dans ce contexte.les guitars son hawaïen il bien choisi le son on peut dire qu' ils du coeur dans tout ca .li mériterait une bonne radio à l écouté ,belle fraîcheur musicale je l aurais bien écouter plus long

Really enjoyed this song, very professional mix on the track it self very commercial feel, the vocal reminds me of Gary Allen just a little on the timid side it seems. Would like to have heard more projection in the lyrics, the music is very strong and the vocal needs to match it in strength, the vocalist is good so just push it out there. Overall I think the song would be a good one to pitch.

Like your song. The song is great , but your vocals do need a lot of vocal training. The words are great. Well done for getting your music onto radio. I tried for 30 years and still havent even got my music on radio station, only hospital radios. I been rejected too many years in my music. I am Pushing 50 now and waited very patiently too many years for my break. You been more lucky than I was. Good luck in your music. Happy new year. From nicole

TJ has an authentic country voice, with fabulous lyrics that tell a great story. The arrangement is tight and the steel guitar and piano are perfectly executed. The title is great, and really describes the lyrics.

I really appreciate the modern country feel you have! Your lyrics make me feel like I am having a beer with you. I like the barbed wire metaphor along with 'rusty side of me'. Great Work! Love this!

A great song. I can see how this song could be on the radio. Your singing is the standout part of the song. Perfect . The song writer is also a master song writer. Combine a great melody with a good story and a sing along chorus that gets the listener singing along equals a hit song every time. But is still comes down to the singer - making the song come to life. A song has to make you care and and your vocals do that.

Loving the intro to this track with the slide guitar pulling you into the song from the first note. Fine production with great energy. Nice lyrics. Good song. Personally, I would place TJ's voice a hair further back into the mix to allow it to merge a bit more with the instruments and become a part of the band. It is kinda floating above the tracks now, which might be intended as this is a matter of personal taste... Keep them coming, Mr Kelly!

Great production. Not surprised this is getting airplay. It is very genre oriented. Modern American Country. Not particularly my cup of tea but, not matter, the production and the talent are very evident. Tasteful guitar licks. Lyrics are good. Vocals are a good tone. Good length of song, not too long. I have no negatives. I don't see why any fan of country would not like it. Good work and good luck TJ.

TJ Kelly sings with an organic easy country sound that flows very nicely. This middle of the road country song sits on top of a solid bed of musicians playing well. The confidence in TJ's voice carries the vocal style on this one. Rusty Side Of Me refers to the rough edges in who he is. The voice has so much well earned texture from life that is suits this story and sound well. It's easy to like this song. Easy to relate to and easy to fin yourself singing along. I look forward to hearing more from this talented artist.

Hi Tj. What a beautiful song. Be proud. I love the lyrics. I just feel sorry for you guys as i am from South Africa. country is known here but it gotten stagnant, and it is only going to pick up from here. But there by you guys the competition is very strong. I hope you do extremely well with the song. You have a stunning voice as well.

TJ Kelly brings us Rusty side of me, a tale of life remembered in the vein of Jacob Dylan and The Wallflowers and Bruce Springsteen. From a listener's standpoint this is a classic americana based song. From a producer's perspective I have a great appreciation for the overall mix, but I felt the vocal could have stood a bit more processing to bring out the body of the vocal. Its got that classic Nashville studio sound that has become very popular with crossover artists in recent years. It could have taken the song just that much farther.

Hi Tj, Your song "Rusty side of me" is nicely sang, good music, nicely mixed. I really like the lyrics, great job writing this song. I can understand why you're getting airplay, it's totally a great song, I like it. Guy

This song hits me hard, while growing up making mistakes careless and free, The music is so suttle that it just takes you back to a more crazy time in life as a youngster. This is a well written and thought out song all about life.The guitar and all the instruments are perfectly inline with one another vocals are great, It makes you want to sing along with this song. The title is great. Songedge

Rusty Side Of Me...this is a great sounding country track. One of the best tracks I have heard on NumberOneMusic website. TJ Kelly has a great country voice and this really hits a sincerity note in his delivery. The production is of top notch quality. TJ has a cool raspiness in his voice that suits down home country. One thing that does stand out on this song besides a terrific vocal is how commercial this track is and would be under the right radio promotion. Great stuff TJ I would love to hear more.

Hi TJ Kelly, Fist, thanks to submit "Rusty side of me" at review on N1M. 1 / Production : The mix is well balanced, Good sound. 2 / Music : It's very clean, there are some good arrangements. It's nice. 3 / Vocals : I like the Sprinsteen's spirit. It's well executed 4 / Overall : It' s a nice song, but there is no surprise, it's not very original, too conventionnal for me. I listened, I liked but I'll forget tomorrow.. But good job, Nice song.

Love the voice in this one - powerful, lived in - a real treat to hear a singer who really opens up his voice to live the song he is singing.Title is really cool - a lot of folks will relate to this theme, I know that I do. tj Kelly has brought back the soul of country music which is really fantastic - better than all the same old same old stuff being churned out right now. thanks man - I enjoy your music, from one troubadour to another - I salute you buddy. Regards, Johnny Ramone of Angel International Management (UK)

T.J. Kelley is a good story teller and has a knack for making the lyrics of a song flow as smooth as gentle as a mountain stream. "The Rusty Side Of Me" is a song about a love life that still goes on in feeling even if it doesn't continue in reality. At least that's the way it struck me. It has a good melody sound and the instrument track is right for the song. The music execution by the band members is flawless. It's a song one can listen to a lot and not be able to refrain from singing along once the lyrics are learned. T.J. has a good voice but if there is one thing I would tell him is don't smother your vocal. To me the mix was a little heavy on the music side and covered the vocal in spots to the extent that the lyrics got lost a couple of times. Even so this is a good effort I and give it the full bolt of stars. For dancing, for listening or at a concert, this number is solid. My hat is off for this one.

TJ i listened to the tune and thought ..hmm I would like to sing this one. That is unusual because I am extremely critical about songs I sing. Usually only do ones I write. I would have changed--slightly-- a couple a parts and some phrasing..but That is the singer and song writer in me..Add you are probably the same way. As a song writer and singer you can just about hear any song and think.."why did he or she not write it or sing it this way?" Heck I do the same to my own songs after I hear them several years later and after I have advanced in my skill as a songwriter and a singer.Over all I thought it was a nice tune. Keep up the good work! email me at jayparrband AT gmail DOT com if you wish Jay

Really a great song, nice vocals too.Would like to hear more songs like this one. I hope you keep getting airplay on this song.Love the arrangement . Great title too. Wishing you the very best of luck in the music business.
