Well, it may have been awhile since you posted but you came back strong. This is a good one and I enjoyed it a lot. I thought the fiddle worked well in the mix and the guitar tone was as sharp as ever.

Hi Eric,

I agree with Charlie. This is a terrific listen. You have a natural flair for this style and sound! I was fascinated by the country fiddle and how it melded so well with the smooth jazz backing. It was testimony to how important the backing is when it comes to highlighting musical character in a solo.

All the best,
Noel

Sweet tune!! Somewhere between latin and smooth jazz (Smoothlatin I guess!) Very interesting the way you integrated the fiddle into it-worked well from my perspective. Really loved it!! Take care. Greg

Eric, I finally figured out who you remind of. Hiram Bullock. Great tone and melodically this is one of your strongest posts. The mix sounds great and your playing and touch is really nice. Not sure about the ending though. Tom

I noticed a couple of RTs containing the words "smooth" and "cool". I think that pretty much describes this!! Very interesting the way the fiddle comes in-very unusual but it works beautifully. Very fluid and sweet guitar work!! Really enjoyed this! Take care. Greg

Greg nailed my thoughts on this. Loved your
signature playing and tone and, yup, the fiddle
worked amazingly well.

Great listen!
