Rob,

... very emotive music. There's no other genre that grabs a listener like blues. You've done a terrific job here on all fronts. Enjoyed it a lot.

Regards,
Noel

You have not yet responded to me about the dog. Is he yours? It's a general picture?

Hi Sergio. No the dog is a pic from Google.
I tried to find a pic that fit the mood of the music.
I love dogs but these days they are worse than kids. smile

Great blues song. You really got the best out of the band this time. Everyone is in the groove. Vocals and backing are top notch. Glad you are feeling better.

Hi Charlie. Unlike most bands they are moderate of habit.
Thanks for your comment.

My thoughts exactly!

I started to make other comparisons, but so many people have played the blues, it's pretty hard to narrow the comparison down to any one group... but the Elvis voice is distinctive enough to note!

Regarding what you personally add to the song: vocals are spot on.. your pitch is wonderful! And considering all the ways a 3 chord blues progression can be presented, I really liked your choice of instruments... especially the somewhat dark guitar.

I also like your lyrics... and I will compare them to Jim Morrison's style of lyric writing. A little bit cryptic, but elemental and very good at painting the black dog mood you're shooting for!

All in all a very engaging song... bluesy but not depressing. Good job!

Rob,

I think this is the best thing you've ever done.

A good write. Very well put together. Super vocal and harmony.

Good mix. It's got it all. Well done

Great to see you back Rob and what a return!

We love blues and the grittier the better. This has
it all.

One rarely sees this type of cool imagery in a
blues number. The write, the laid back vocal,
the guitar and the entire production is
top shelf.

Great!
