Peter,
I really enjoyed this. It has a very cool Al Stewart "Year Of The Cat" vibe. Good mix on the vocals and tracks as well.
Excellent!
Bob

Peter/Leon,
Terrific energy to this. Quite Knopfler-esque - the cadence of the lyric, the rhythm of the backing and (especially) the leads (love those leads!)... A very solid sound (good mix of the instruments for a cohesive sound)
Really enjoyed the listen (several, actually).

Hi Peter.
What a great song!
Super backing and vocal, but what made it for me was the lead guitar work.
I can see where Floyd is coming from with "Knopfler-esque", but for me that guitar had the feel of Hendrix, both the sound and the playing. I'm thinking "Hey Joe" or "All Along the watchtower".
Fabulous stuff and definitely one of your best to date.
ROG.

Man, does this ever grab you from the get-go! Yet another fine production from a very fine team. And regarding the lyric..."ain't it the truth!" And Peter, you well know how much we love those soaring leads. We can see Clapton bending back and raising a foot This is one you don't need to say a lot about...just listen again and enjoy... Great collab you two! J&B

This had me rocking right from the intro.
(You won’t find answers in that bottle Drunk or sober she will still be gone You’ve got to pull yourself together Dry your tears and try to carry on)
Great lyrics and upbeat tune. Love it. Rob

What a tune! Within about 2 seconds I knew I was going to be enjoying this - it’s got an addictive groove with a great riff, right from the get go. This whole tune just sound very well written, and professionally arranged. I wouldn’t bat an eyelash hearing this on the radio alongside the classics. Thanks so much for sharing, Peter
Cheers, Deryk

Peter, Plus 1 to the kudos here - this has an irrisistable drive (I can hear the influences, but fogot them as soon as you start playing those fills!). Strong lyrics and vocal too...one of your best.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
