RE: Steemit Open Mic Week 87 - "This City" (Steve Earle cover)
You sounded great! You got a really good tone of voice in this song and this tune really suited your voice. In fact, you sounded a bit like Scott Weiland from Stone Temple pilots. I hadn’t heard this song before nice to be introduced to new music. Thanks mate
Blissful blessings and smiles
in joy

I had to listen to it again to hear it and now I can't unhear it. That's gonna be interesting.
Well, I hope you took that as a compliment because it was meant to be, my friend.
I love stone temple pilots, but if you don’t then I really hope you unhear it soon.
Oh, no, I like them reasonably well and Scott was a great singer. I've just never really thought of them in the context of my own work. I was more of a Counting Crows/Natalie Merchant kind of a kid.
Fair enough, mate.
When someone compared my voice to Bon Jovi’s I was pretty insulted. I really didn’t like bon jovi as a kid. I was much more of a Lenny Kravitz/SoundGarden/INXS/Vince Jones (he is a Chet Baker-like Australian Jazz singer) kinda kid. (Heck! I’d have much preferred to have been compared to Scott than Jon. Lol. Even though Jon clearly has an incredible vocal range and ability. Our childhood gravitation holds much power over us)
So I get it. What’s worse was that I heard Bon Jovi comparison from a couple of different, unrelated people, so I had to find a way to either accept it and find the good in it, because that’s what people were hearing, or find a way to change it by changing my vocal technique.
Anyway, don’t get stuck on the little bit that mentioned Scott, even though that part was meant as a compliment.
The rest of it was clearly a lovely compliment to you.
Besides, now that you mention it, I can hear the counting crows influence.
