Latest from us, back to the blues for this one. Audio link at the end of the post for those that don't like videos.

I played the lead guitar parts and used EZDrummer3 to program the drum track. Whisky and Tears (2025, Chris Spruit)V1
I 'm so damn lonely with the sun on my bed
Coffee gone cold still remember what you've said
Your coat still hanging on the back of the Chair
But Baby your love it ain't never been there
CHORUS
And it's hard so hard to breath
when you're not here near by me
so I pour that midnight Whisky
Right on top of my Tears
that burning Whisky
Right on top of my Tears
V2
you used to call me
your moon and your flame
Now I am just a shadow
whispering your Name
you danced me through fire
then left me in the smoke
a kiss like a promise a ring like a joke
CHORUS
And it's Cold so Cold out here
I drink that Burning Whisky
Right on top of my Tears
And it's Cold so Cold out here
I drink that Burning Whisky
to face all my fear
BRIDGE
I gave you my heart you gave me goodbye
you kissed me so sweet to cover the lie
But I ain't no fool
it took me time to see
you can't chain a man
who was born to run freeAudio only link (RevebNation): Whisky and Tears

Dave,
What an opening! Wow!
Chris sounds so amazing here - such a nuanced vocal. The combination of your guitar and her voice are incredible.
Awesome band, mix, solo and video. Marty sounds great as usual.
This is truly the whole musical package! Loved it!

This is good. Slow blues.
Chris sounds like Joan Baez in a few places. Folk singer singing the blues.
One thing.... right there at the start of V2, you have the organ playing a major chord and the guitar is playing in the minor. That should be fixed.
The guitar solo is nice. So satisfying as a guitar player listening.

Dave and Marty, you guys are really setting the vocalist up great, and Chris is BURNING DOWN the house. Super feel on this, and the mix is crystalline. Amazing tune!

You had me at the first measure.
Outstanding guitar, vocal, backing tracks, and mix.
Chris gave a killer vocal on this one.
This song is better than a lot of blues songs on Alligator records.
I loved this one

I'm embarrassed to say I've cultivated no appreciation for this musical style. But lately, the forum is helping me develop one. I love the call and response between the vocalist and the guitar in the verses. It's really cool. The guitar solos sound impressive to me. Thanks for the youtube alternative too.

Okay I can officially say now that something about replying to this forum is driving me a little buggy. I'm absolutely sure I hit the enter button yesterday but now I don't see anything insofar as a reply.
Hmmm.
Anyway I really love this. The entire song is smoking. I love the vocal and the guitar playing is just through the roof.
Y'all have an incredible sound.

Dave,
This is a spectacular listen. You, Chris and Marty sound awesome. The song's write and its arrangement are superb. In addition, Chris's vocals were so good that she had me hypnotised. And to cap it all off, your production was exquisite. I'm pretty sure that music can't get any more 'top notch' than this! I loved everything about it.

<-- I think you know how much I mean by that little icon. Imagine that smile to be as big as a 3-story mansion, and you'll have a fraction of how much fun it is to see how these songs devlope through yours and Chris's talents, and I get to had some bass. HUGE FUN.

Blue Attitude in all its glory!
Powerful tune. Ace playing by Dave & Marty! Super vocals by Chris. For some strange reason vocal performance, even when it's a completely different genre reminds me of a songs of Tanita Tikaram. Enjoyed my listen and thank you for sharing.

For me blues is the most important genre ever, it spawned both jazz and rock. Thanks for taking the time to give it a listen, very much appreciated!
