Really great song Dave & Chris,
Sultry and moody as a sultry, moody thing. And the girls in the video are too distracting, lost my focus on several occasions....or perhaps that was your intention!!
But a great song for all the right reasons. Kind regards. Appreciate the listen and comments KW! I started here in April 2019, so this is new to me. BA has been working at a very high level for quite some time, so a best of seems a natural to me. How do you choose? That's gonna me a tough job. I liked this tune very much, I like that it was subtle regarding the subject matter. Playing excellent as always. Vocals were superb. Ten years, that's quite a legacy. Congratulations! Yes, choosing is very difficult. As Chris says these songs are our babies, hard to leave some of them out. Thanks for all the support, Bob!

Hey, man, what a tasty track! Perfect mix and production. Each section has the right focus and keeps the listener completely engaged. Bass, vocals, lead guitar, all share the stage in a cohesive and oh so professional way. Way to go!!

Slithery and cool. Ya'll CRUSHED this. Top shelf vocals and guitar work. Crisp, laid back backing band--love that BiaB bass. Super song performed superlatively. Fantastic work, Dave and Chris! Appreciate all of that, Ron! Dave & Chris. Nicely done! Well played and well sung! Great feel. Thanks for posting. Cheers, Paul! Great vibe to this song. Outstanding production and performance. Truly enjoyed it.

This definitely deserves to be on a "Best of..." The remixing and remastering sound great. Clever lyrics.

Dave, you have done a masterful job with this arrangement! It definitely has a Santana vibe which is always a good thing! Your guitar fills and lead parts are as always, top shelf! I'm assuming you are using a Strat here and it sounds wonderful! Chris has such a beautiful voice that is the very definition of pro!!
Enjoyed it!
Take care, TB Thanks very much, Torrey! Yes, guitar is a strat. As I wrote on YT, "VERY smooth throughout. Not what I expected! Excellent song". You and Chris make a a really great partnership. We have fun together working on these songs, even more fun now that Marty is involved, and that's the main thing I guess. Thanks, Chay! Hey, man, what a tasty track! Perfect mix and production.

“while the dogs are sleeping
one eye open wide
in the heat and in the gleaming
lonely cats come alive”
Too cool!
We loved this song in 2018 and we love it now.
There’s no doubt that this should be on the “best of” album.
You both hit it out of the park.
We really dig that great rhumba beat.
Your guitar and her voice are such a great match.
That outro vamp is great.
And what a mix and mastering.
Everything “pops,” and is crystal clear.
Great soundstage on the Kalis.
Soul to the max.
Loved it!

Hi, Dave and Chris.
What they said: slinky, sung and played with attitude.
This just oozes with groove.
I love that tappity-tappity sidestick too.
As J&B noted, the mix is outstanding.

Hello Dave and Chris,
I saw Noell's post, but couldn't find my comments on the song back then. It must have been very positive (to make an understatement), because it's a 'delicious' and lovely Blues. Some days ago, on YT I had given my review too. But I will do it again; Chris has a great voice and makes very good lyrics! Dave, as usual, is the master on the lead. That sound... wow.
And normally Marty is included as the one and only bass player you use in the band. But now I saw you used a real track from Biab. Why did you do that? Still, a great song!
Hans

Thanks very much Janice and Bud and David for your kind review! Hello Dave and Chris,
I saw Noell's post, but couldn't find my comments on the song back then. It must have been very positive (to make an understatement), because it's a 'delicious' and lovely Blues. Some days ago, on YT I had given my review too. But I will do it again; Chris has a great voice and makes very good lyrics! Dave, as usual, is the master on the lead. That sound... wow.

Hans Thanks, Hans! To answer your question: Chris and I have been working together for more than 10 years, the early songs all have BIAB bass players because Marty was not around back then. Having said that, Marty will be on some of the remakes we are doing, replacing the original BIAB part.
