Here is a smooth jazzy blues featuring Janice Merritt. This one came together really quickly as everything just seemed to drop into place. We hope you enjoy it. Comments/Suggestions encouraged as always. http://tommyadamsmusic.com/musichttp://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=12847551Style MIDI Instruments are : Fender Bass (34), Acoustic Piano (1), MIDI SuperTracks in song: 1886:Piano, Solo-Accompaniment Bluesy12-8John Sw 060 RealTracks in song: 565:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Blues Monday Sw 065 RealTracks in style: ~675:Organ, B3, Background Blues Monday Sw 065 RealTracks in song: ~970:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm CountrySwingCleanPedal Sw 085 RealDrums: RealDrums in Song: Nashville128^08-a:Snare, b:Ride Little Ol' Thing Called Love After all this time you still play hard to get Act as if you're leaving but it ain't happened yet Now that you're beside me I think I'll call your bluff Cause I'm bettin everything on this little ol thing called love It wouldn't really take too much to feel reassured Seem’s like you wouldn't want me to feel so insecure Someone's being selfish I'm not naming any names it's not in our best interest to play these kind of games It's the kind of competition I don't want to lose and get emotionally disconnected with a bad case of the blues The odds are in my favor if you believe that kind of stuff Cause I'm bettin everything on this little ol thing called love After all this time you still play hard to get Act as if you're leaving but it ain't happened yet Now that you're beside me I think I'll call your bluff Cause I'm bettin everything on this little ol thing called love ©2014 Thomas Adams/ Janice Merritt

SWEEEEEEET!! Tom's guitar playing is amazing. It hits me like a nice glass of Scotch whiskey, and when Janice's vocal comes in, it's time for a chaser! Really great stuff! Works on every level. I sure wish I could play guitar like that. Great job guys! Take care. Greg

This is about as real as it gets. Janice is certainly the right choice for the blues and I'll plus one all of Greg's comments.

Hi Janice and Tom, Magnificent music! I'm a real fan of a 12/8 time signature. I love the lilt it brings to the groove. I have to say that both of you have worked this time signature with expertise and aplomb. The song is as good as anything I've heard, ever: top class performances, shining production, incredibly well written. Yes indeed, magnificent music  All the best, Noel

Tom/Janice,
Perfect.
Not a single thing out of place. Beautiful lyrical guitar. A vocal that then TOPS it. A solid write. Excellent production. Excellent mix. Like the last one, this sounds like a well-oiled band captured at their best in the best of studios.
It doesn't get much better than this.
Perfect.

Hi Tom & Janice ...
Now, was that fabulous or what? We echo everything said by all the previous reviewers. Perfect voice and guitar for the style and the song is so well written. Dare we say "Musical masterpiece"? I think we'll take that dare ... "Musical Masterpiece"!
Super sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Janice and Tom,
This is a very cool song! Professional sound too.
The vocals and guitar are outstanding. We also noticed that very functional B3 organ!

Great song! If you were to produce a blues CD I would buy it for sure!
OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?
64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware
