I like Both songs Ryan..
Definetly more of the Vintage sound and not over done
like some of the new wave of surf...

I guess on liking them both is there not over processed nor do
I catch a compressor limitor holding eveything down.

Sounds great Ryan! Are you using the tank I sold you? Glad to hear you're getting some good use out of it

Big Ryan, I gotta say, I dig 'em both as well. Nice job man.

Song #2 grabbed me .. very cool. Nice chord progression in that one.

Youre on the right track, keep at it. Writing your own stuff is such a labor of love.

I liked them both. I especially like the spaghetti western vibe on the "Ballad of the Sea Bison"

Killer job! I especially like the first, but I'm a sucker for all spaghetti surf.
