Great style! Captivating reggae groove which grabs the attention right away. Love that guitar work. There is something very uplifting about this kind of music - enjoyed it a lot!

The production hits you right off the bat - very nice. Jerry Garcia/Dead Head guitar vibe for me. The Fender Squier sounds great ($90 - sweet!). Great track Maestro & another cool side of the MD Dream Machine!

Nice Reggae tone and feel. I have to say those drums & bass caught my ear right away! When this tune came on I had to go look at the player to see who was playing on this one. Nice sound all the way through. Great sounds on the keys and the timing in spot on. That squire guitar sure is sounding sweet!

Oh yeah this is an island dream for sure. Great percussion, lovely swaying backbeat, full of brilliant details and that Squier sounds perfect. But it's the bass that makes this - big fat tone and played with a great touch. Reggae bass is often more about the notes you don't play rather than the ones you do, and this hits the spot. Cool lyrics too - yes I may well have a crack at this one ( if I can stay off the faux patois). Nice work MD :D

Absolutely brilliant, Michael. The organ melody is so nice and the caribbean percussion really makes you feel the sun ad let's you see people dancing on the beach. All you need is a pina colada and some "Lei"'s and the beach party is on! Very nice guitar solo also. Uplifting music that makes you smile!

Michael,
I heard this over at CC and was impressed immediately.
You really are quite a musician and you seem to have such a broad base of genres you cover which is a feat unto itself but you play it all so well. good luck in the challenge. So far I have heard some very good entries in the contest.

I see, you also like to play with a "Squier" like I often do....!!! :)
Marvelous caribbean feeling, fantastic drums/percussions, a joyful atmosphere here, much sun and blue sky jumping out the tune, the guitar lead melody is so sweet, I would have loved to hear your vocals over this base.... I am still impressed of your nice "La Bamba" Capitan!!!
Michael, my respect to you for your excellent attitude playing so much styles and genres in such a perfect way!! Great track!!

Like often here on SC, I really get a flash back of earlier times, back to the 70's when you had a lot of this kind of hits.
You only need sun, a beach, some palm trees and smiling people for getting this. Feeling so good. This is Summer!
By the way, your guitar reminded me a bit of Carlos Santana.
Really enjoyed it, very inspiring.
