New Winery Dogs song! Lots of A4s, B4s and E5s.

Yo BassSquared, I see you already got the notes from "Mad World" added, but you missed a pretty solid A2 in it!

Found some missing notes from his TRP2 thread:


Here he does Nuno Bettencourt's favorite trope, where he sings along with the notes he's playing on guitar. Starts out on a B2 and gets down to some A2s, then there are some spots where he plays down to E2 and it would imply that his voice is following along with it, but I don't think he actually makes it down to it. TRP2 had this listed as an E2 clip, but I'd probably call it a questionable note at best. It seems possible that he might get down to a G2 at 1:21, and then he sings up to some nice jazzy A4s shortly after, but 1:40 seems to make it pretty apparent that he's not making it all the way down to some of those bottom notes.


A guest appearance here with a really fantastic soulful performance by Richie. E3s and A4s in the talk-sung intro at 0:15, some great melody singing up to D5s on the verse at 0:33, C5s at 1:06, sounds like a short trill up to E♭5 at 2:39, a great sustained F5 at 3:20, D3 at 3:42, and an E♭3 at 3:58. 


C5s here and a bunch of A4s throughout.


Also I dunno if there's a reason why you have a live version of "War Paint" listed for all the notes from that, but just figured I'd point out that there's a studio version of that song as well. All the same notes that you have currently listed for the live version except for the D5, so I guess you can still list that from the live version. Other than that, there's a very breathy trill down to a short B2 at 0:21, but I would call that a questionable note.

Smith/Kotzen are back with a new single for the first time in three years! I wasn't sure if we were gonna get any more music from them, seeing how they had that burst of releases in 2021 and then just disappeared completely, but I guess they're still doing stuff after all.

Kotzen's part has lead vocal B4s, C♯5s, and an E5. Then there are backing vocals down to B2 at 1:59 and 3:38 that I'm optimistically counting as Adrian for the time being (cause lord knows his lows section could use it), but it seems a bit ambiguous. At first I thought it might be Kotzen because it's underneath a lead vocal that he's singing (so maybe he'd be more likely do his own backing vocals), but then I noticed that it's during a part where he and Adrian are trading off vocals, so it's possible that that could be one line where they sing together before alternating lines. Any thoughts on whether it sounds like Kotzen's tone?

The B2s sound like Kotzen to me, it has a similar vibe to other octave down backing vocals like that I've heard him do. Granted, I'm not all that familiar with Smith as a singer but it seems pretty in character for Kotzen to sing it and sounds like his tone to me.
