And just when I thought it would be impossible for you to top yourself........well, you did it again!! Loved the "audience in the box"- really lent itself well to the whole feel. Track selection and integration has never been better to my ears. Guitar and vocal were amazing! Write was true blues. Never heard anything better on the forum. Loved it!! Take care. Greg

Tommy,
Outstanding write and recording!
The crowd sound effects sold me on the idea that you had recorded "I Thought You Ought To Know" live at a club even though I knew better from reading your notes prior to listening. The illusion worked until the end of the sax solo. The crowd noise begins and ends too abruptly after the solo.
Jim, I am so glad that you mentioned about the crowd after the solo. This proves to me that you were listening very closely and I appreciate that. You are 100% correct and I struggled with that part. You would not believe how hard it is to find free crowd samples. I got tired of looking and left it in. In hindsight I should have made the extra effort to get it right. Thanks for pointing out what was wrong and I know now that it is better to fix the mix than to try and slide one by. Tom This one is packed full of tommyad good stuff
- strong vocal - great guitar playing
- cool write - excellent use of sound effects - very effective use of RT's - a mix to aspire to - an inventive arrangement
We probably missed a few...just a real pleasure to kick back and listen to
J&B
J&B, Thanks for your wonderful comments. Tom Blues! Tommy, this is great - loved it!
Bob Bob, I am glad you liked it. Tom 'Bout as good as it get.
Dang cool intro. Just the right touch of everything. Should be a BIAB commercial... "Is it real.. or is it RealTracks?..."
Excellent write. A blues song with a story....Nice.
Good vocal. This fits you well.. I really like that reverb on ya...
Guitar = Tasty, tasty, tasty. Dripping with feel... maybe my favorite of your leads... S W E E E E E T!!!
The mix is IMPECCABLE.
'Bout as good as it get. I thought you ought to know....
floyd Tommy, I think Floyd pretty much summed it up for me as well! You really achieved that live club feel. Just Outstanding! Greg Greg, Very nice of you to say that. Tom

Hi Tom, Can't add much to the great comments on your blues. Star of the show to me are the vocals. And the way you make me believe you're really performing live at the club... Where did you get the audience sound? A great song alltheway ☺ Fred

Greg Greg, I always look forward to what you have to say. I tried not to get too cheesy with the audience, and I hoped I pulled it off. Thanks, your reviews are always appreciated. Tom Excellent tune. Vocal was superb. Guitar was awesome as well. Well done Scott, I am glad you liked it. Thank you, Tom

Bob Now that is a strong reaction. Thanks Bob, Drink Up! Hi Tom, Can't add much to the great comments on your blues. Star of the show to me are the vocals. And the way you make me believe you're really performing live at the club... Where did you get the audience sound? A great song alltheway ☺ Fred Thanks Fred, Those club sounds were something that I downloaded off a royalty free loop sight a couple of years ago. I tried to find some better ones but was not willing to pay for them. Very hard to find free samples. Tom

I was complaining to my son one day about how I had come to despise the blues... he replied that it's probably because you hear so much of it that just isn't played well; But when you hear somebody get it right, you can't help but get captivated by it and want to play along. Ever since he said that, I've found it to be true... you can't judge a genre by the worst it has to offer, you have to seek the best.
Since coming to this forum, I've really fallen in love with the blues all over again. And Tommy, your songs are part of that renewal. This song is a good example of the blues done well. All of the parts you chose for this song are spot on... soulfully played, nothing contrived or automated sounding about it at all.
The crowd noises are a very nice finishing touch, but IMO, the song stands firm even without that.
As I write this review, I've let the player keep playing your other songs, and I'm struck by the sincerity and down-to-earth quality of all your songs. To my way of thinking, you are the real deal, Tommy. I appreciate all the musical thoughts and opinions you shared during my visit. When I finally get around to posting something, it will probably be blues, inspired by the one and only .. Tommy Adams!

Tommy,
There's nothing I could say about this song that hasn't been said before... Killer track, killer vocal tone and feel, nice guitar tone going on and a great arrangement! I'm always into a great blues tune and this one certainly did not disappoint. Enjoyed the track from start to finish and the solos sounded really tasty!
Well done!
David
