Nice moody blues with the classic harp and guitar interaction clever bass and drum foundation with good phrasing together also main and backing vocals work well together with a excellent hook running throughout. Would love to use the format of main and backing vocals in a similar way in some of my songs. Excellent !

Nice Bleusey Feel Noticing some good blues guitar,and after noticing the power of the lyrics,and mildly suggest vocals almost screaming in pain to match.When ever I hear death as a subject I like the production to match the pain that the lyrics portray. Smooth vocal dont'be afraid to scream the pain.

I love the opening guitar feedback and drum track. Vocals remind me a bit of early Alice In Chains... not perfect but still captivating. Guitar is raw and interesting, though it seems to run out of steam half way through. I prob would not buy it, but I would pay attention if I heard it!

Gabrielle Crow's tune "Hollow Victory" is a catchy groove, despite the demo-quality recording; that doesn't interfere with the solid, bass-heavy, hypnotic track's appeal. The vocals are reminiscent of Bob Dylan, and tell a story. Tune in...

It's a nice tune, but needs a bit of work. The guitar is good as are the lyrics. However, starting with a drum machine, that is very obviously a drum machine is a bit off putting. Perhaps the intro of the song should be a really strong bass line where the drums come in and a groove is established. I would also suggest either finding another singer or transposing the song into a key that will showcase the vocalist in a better light. Production-wise the track reminds me of stuff from the 1980's when rock started experimenting with technology... but technology has come a long way since. A little more wood-shedding and this song will get it.

Not really sure if I would classify this as blues so much as rock. This would be so much better with a drummer. It needs a tighter intro start with guitar lick. It needs an ending not an abrupt stop of the tape. The arrangement allows the lead guitar too much freedom at the end without going anywhere musically. (Check out allman brothers for ideas on ending song with a lead as an example). Weakest part of song is vocals. They needs eq, compressor, and reverb, and singer needs to pull tone out of nasal cavity and get more chest and throat in tone.

As soon as I heard the start of the song I liked it very unique I like the guitar and your voice is unique and crisp this song really stand's out stay creative and keep on making great music I hope this been helpful I would like to hear more of your music soon have a great day and enjoy your week and God bless you in all your endeavors.

The purpose of the drum machine is to drive the song forward and this does it well. I like the sparse production and the guitars are well done. The fills around the vocals complement the track nicely. The lyrics are somewhat trite and could use some review. In fortunately for the melody the vocal track doesn't get it done. The vocalist sings off key in some spots and now attention should be paid to this most important part of any track. Off pitch so,gong can be corrected in this day and age so there is no excuse for it. The guitars are well done.

Your guitar gently cry all time and it make me feel very very good!!! An old sound between blues of the 60/70's and the movie Back to the future. I really like it. Hope you'll keep on doing sounds like this! I subscribe!

It is a bit hard to review this song without knowing why this child was killed and put in the ground. I suspect that she had a highly contagious sexual disease that "the men" caught from her and later died from. Their annoyance was probably understandable. The singer's acquaintance with this young girl is also troubling. I do not know the law in North Carolina but paedophilia is a criminal offence in most civilised countries. It all sounds very dodgy and reminds me of Jerry Lee Lewis and his unfortunate short-lived tour to England. Maybe the death saved the singer from possible prosecution. Every cloud..., as they say. I hope this helps.

Gabrielle crow propose des sonorités qui nous raméne vers deep purple, les dors et Roy bucanan, jolie voyage, lol. Il manque juste un peu d'ampleur à la voix qui paraît un peu faible. Les solos de guitare sont approximatif , mais toute la bas rythmique compense pour avoir une malgré tout agréable. Á découvrir , sans plus. La qualité de l'enregistrement est bonne

I really like the song but in my personal opinion it is unfinished. The main track with the beat and groove is very cool. It has me going into a nice hypnotic blues funky beat. The lyrics are cool. The leads add a lot and are tasty. The main lead might need a little more phrasing to stand out from the fills and licks although nicely done....so it does sound like a longer fill or a bunch stuck together. Pouring more emotion into the vocals would help the story you are trying to tell and would get the listener more on board with the composition in its entirety. I personally am working to improve my vocals and I know some of the challenges involved....most of my postings are instrumental! Singing live versus recording a vocal can be two totally different things. Pretend you are singing to a crowd and you want them to dig your story when you record....just a suggestion. Overall I would like to say nice job. Definitely keep at it. A musician fan.

The song itself shows promise, the words fit,.. the lead guitar is very interesting. Voice doesn't fit, maybe with a capo on 1st or 2nd fret your voice would come up just a tad. Other than that, I can tell you are using a drum machine, I get criticized for my demos using them,,,

My review today is on Hollow victory by Gabrielle Crow. This is a swampy sounding song very guitar oriented, kind of bar music. Vocals sound, delivery and recording let the song down, not enough time spent on getting a good vocal track, i guess Gabrielle was going for a Lou Reed type of delivery but it ends up sounding like a demo, done either at home without a producer, or in a hurry. Basic track sounds pretty good but also lacks a bit of clarity. A bit more time spent on overall production would help track. The song 'Hollow Victory' seems like a good track, but due to lack of clarity is hard to tell what the song is about. Playing is good and i do like the guitar tone, but sounds like it might be a drum machine (which i am not a big fan of), and i would like to hear more of Gabrielle's music, because with a bit of work this track could be rather catchy.

What a deep underground nature!!! Everything is absolutely coinсides - one to another. I mean parts played by different instruments - on one side - guitar, on another - drums; on one - bass, on another - vocal. And all of them are working horsies - moving the piece to the audience. And cortege very picturesque ! Raw guitar licks accompanies a lonely vocalizing - an the reason of spoken words catching up the music for its tale...stagecoach keep on going..

I listend to a lot of pieces who are making for a review, and that one is the one who took me in the most. I guess it has a Neil Young touch with a pretty good guitar solo, i like that and the voice the most in this song, the voice it self could bear little more consciousness about getting the right tones. But congratulations about the solo, its really nice !

Gabrielle Crow delivers his blues with confidence and conviction. The bass and drums are solid and together they lay a strong rhythmic foundation for Gabrielle's voice. This time out, the subject matter suggests the pretty girl that sparks the story is gone. He is now in a state of misery so the blues are the only way to explain it. The guitar is free form improvisational throughout and it seems to follow the vocals well. My complaint would be the the vocals should be better produced so it has more polish. But even with that said, Gabrielle has done a good job of pulling it all together organically so that the story does not suffer. I look forward to hearing more from this talented artist.

The lyrics on this cut are really gripping. The story is well exposed in the framework of a popular flavor of the 12 Bar Blues structure. I gave the song a 3 and 1/2 ONLY because of the pitch problems in the vocal and the lackluster production of the backing tracks. These issues are EASILY fixable and I strongly encourage you to do so as I would dearly love to hear a remake!!

Cabrielle Crow brings us "Hollow Victory" - The drums, bass and groove of this tune caught me quick, a classic blues feel that i love. The production need some work, guitar licks are cool, bass is rock solid - this could be awesome but needs work. Perhaps better mics for the instruments, the tracks are a bit muddy. Where it falls short is the vocals - they're, well just not good, the singer needs work. I like the lyrics and would love to hear this with an experienced vocalist singing it. Keep at it folks, I'm not trying to down ya, just help ya!

I'm hearing a pleasant blend of J.J. Cale and modern blues rock. As aatter of fact I would like to cover this song with all sincerity and seriousness. Great stuff here!! I'm looking forward to your answer and hopefully your blessing to allow me to try and do justice to Hollow Victory.
