Great Classic style song!
Daddy Had a Still is a great throwback to those days when Southerners would sit around the front porch in the cool of the evenin' and pick and sang. It pays homage to the classic style of Lynyrd Skynyrd's Made in the Shade, Mississippi Kid and Four Walls of Raiford. Daddy Had a Still is one of the best tracks we have had a chance to review! Zap and the Wires continues to please with each new song! Keep it up guys!

My kind of music that sooths the soul, Great Louisiana Sound 'Raleigh Rock' Lacks a little punch in some places, need some extra compression especially on the bridge, needs to really punch the bridge, it will revitalise the whole song as it seems to pace all along at the same constant. The recording otherwise is great and the song is too! Good vibe all through and the Lyrics. Typical 'down & Out' southern Country Bluegrassy style song. All in all I really like it. Burton Trent .

I'm a sucker for a story song.
I don't want to oversell this but HOLY CRAP I liked this a lot! I loved the music, I loved the fiddle, I loved the understated background music that perfectly suits this vocal. This was not perfect by any means but the overall potential for a huge classic song like Hank Jr. is here. Maybe A country boy can survive meets Daddy won't sell the farm. My reviewing is terrible because I know there is something missing to make this song perfect but I'm not sure what it is. Maybe I'm too judgemental. Go ahead and love this.

Fabulous, folk-lorish and free of any and all additives! Purely written and delivered with intention. Lyrically it is practically perfect considering it was probably written under the influence of something. But that's why we do the things we do, so have a drink or two, smoke up johnny cause this one is an instant classic that is sure to make some Nashvillians jealous! Zap and his wires have yet to let me down so give them a try, you won't regret it...

Emotion vs Rules
Overall song is good. Some pointers to make it great. Back round vocals would have really lifted the choruses. Those extra voices really make a track pop and clearly define the verse from the chorus. Voice fluctuation with high energy makes the lyric more believable. Every good lyric needs the proper emotion to make it believable. As a producer this generally happens when a song has been over rehearsed. It loses a bit of the "heart" and becomes more of the "rules" . The musicians were spot on and there is a unique blend. Some drum fills would also add to the beat. The writer did a great job with lyrics and phrasing was OK. Keep working at it. I'm looking forward to hearing more. Good Luck.

Vibes!!!!
I like the originality of your work. Strong message and creativity is a big plus. Good production, I can hear some good vocals to this, good job on the final mix-down. I can tell you have your heart and soul into what you do. Keep on pushing and never give up or get distracted in pursuing the dream of making it. I like the instrumental blend of sounds with some vocals and the production on the track is good. Keep up the great work! Peace!!!

Different, great lyrics
This is different from your normal love songs and stuff, a story about a guy who goes to live in the woods instead of the average mans life. Where did freedom go? Some great instruments, I especially like the violin riffs.

Review of Daddy had a Still
Nice little tune great picking in this tune and smooth fiddle work! Vocals are framed by the fiddle and squeezes out every drop of the feeling a nice little tune that requires you to go back and listen again because there is so much in it you can’t catch it all in one pass ! I am thinking I might have heard a dobro and ifIdidn’tmaybeI should have lol really a nice lick my friends so had to go back and add a little more points? It grows on you! Nice job! Keep on sending us these nice tunes !

Daddy Had A Still
Overall good song. It has a catchy melody and the vocals is a good fit. The violin fades a little abruptly but otherwise has a good sound and placement. Daddy Had A Still is a good song and worth listening to again.

Daddy Had A Still review
This is a really nice flowing song. Very laid back with a cool 'sitting on the back porch' kind of feel. Nice fingerpicking guitar and fiddle give this song such an easy groove and sets up the stage for your vocals. The storyline is very interesting and blends well with the track to create that backhills kind of song. All in all, a really good song. Keep em coming!

Great song
I listen to this song it was a great production. I like to build up at the end and the vocals were absolutely terrific. I think you should send this song to play MPE for the reporting music stations program directors to here
