My initial reaction to this as the first song began playing was "good voice, nice and clear too". Then my hair stood on end at the mandolin playing which is a bit off. Then the lyrics were charming too; good writing. This is one guy and his mando. Pardon me for being a bit critical, but . . . GET A BAND. And if you can't clean up your timing on the mando then put it down and only sing. The songs are really strong, excellent writing. They range from self deprecating to quirky to straight up funny. You have to hear Fuck Donald Trump. The vocals are great. I regard this as a demo. Who wants to join this guy and back him up while he sings? He needs musicians, badly, ha ha. :)

Name your price on this is proper, as his timing on the mando is awful. I totally get it because it can be hard for many people to sing and play at the same time. It takes a lot of practice. This has the potential to be a great band if he gets competent players. Hope he doesn't hate me for my honesty. :)
