Fun track! I loved the lyrics and the delivery. Hi David. Many thanks for looking in and the review. Pleased you got some fun out of it. That's what I was hoping for. Love that groove! great sound, enjoyed.
Kenny Hi Kenny. Many thanks. Always looking for a groove! Definitely your finest tune since I have been on the forum. Very cool beat and your mix is right where you need to be. Your vocals are haunting and the instruments really come together for an enjoyable listen. Great job!
Sonny Hi Sonny. Hey, thanks very much for all the nice comments. Always value your opinion. ROG.

ROG,
At the first listen I heard the Stones and saw you strutting the stage a la Mick then he turned into ROG!
excellent as usual
Alyn Hi Alyn. Funny you should say that - The "I Can't Get No" line at the end was meant to be a jibe at Mick! Many thanks for the listen. Hey Professor,
I don't comment on a lot of songs (mea culpa), because my online computer is hooked up to a surround system, and everything sounds strange on it. I Audacitied(?) this one to listen in the studio, and I'm glad I did!
Loved the scatting in there, vocals, mix, arrangement - everything about this I dig.
This is some fat blues, brother. Enjoyed it thoroughly.
Regards,
Bob HI Bob. I really appreciate that you went to those lengths just to listen to my humble song! The blues is where I feel most comfortable - glad you liked it. Many thanks for the kind review. We are listening over coffee and Janice's first remark was "sounds like George Harrison meets Dire Straits!" (and this was before we read the comments and saw that others had mentioned the Straits). And when she heard the harmony she said "sounds like the Traveling Wilburys." And all that is a very cool combo...assuming you don't dislike comparisons  The RD and samples worked together most excellently. Yep, the sax sounded like a member of your long time band. And Janice said, "why does he worry about his vocals. They sound fine." And Bud said, "killer BIG sound with the production." And you may correctly conclude that we both love it! J&B Hey J&B, I have no problem at all with those comparisons - all people I love and respect. Janice - I'll always worry about my vocals, but it's a real confidence boost when someone who sings like you do makes a nice comment. Many thanks to you both for the listen and review. ROG.

Oh yes, another great one! The vocal almost sounds like Tom Petty here, of which I'm a big fan. A very, very cool blend of instruments.
Top-notch!
Rob Thanks, Rob. I'm a big fan of Tom Petty too, so that comment sits well with me. Glad you liked it. Rog
Well written - loved the chorus vocals - really nice. Hi Peter. Thanks for the listen and the kind comments. He Rob, bravo, une vrai "ambiance" dans cette chanson.
Pascal Salut Pascal et merci bien. Je suis content qu'il y a plus des chansons de france sur le forum ces jours. C'est bon que le forum devient plus international. ROG,
Great song! I particularly like horns.
SD Hi SD. Pleased that you liked it. The horns are a mix of Coyote Forte and Edirol Orchestral. ROG.

ROG, Love this one. The vocals are outstanding. Super mix. Pro job throughout. Absolute excellence! Tom Hi Tom. Many thanks for the listen and review. Glad you approved - you know I always value your opinion. KILLER KILLER SONG!!! Just a great listen in every sense. Definitely felt the Money for Nothin vibe, and I really like the unlikely musical change with the smooth, richly harmonic part. Caught me by surprise but was a very pleasant one. EVERYTHING sounds great! My favorite of yours so far (among a lot of great ones)!! Take care. Greg Hi Greg. Thanks for all the nice comments. Pleased it made favourite! Hi, ROG !
Great blues rock professionally
performed, mixed and produced !
Admirable !!!
Cheers
Dani Hi Dani. Always welcome your reviews. Pleased you liked it - many thanks.

Killer! And that second verse, '...instant win, instant lose' love it!
You have an undeniable style and you mix into it. The songs you present in the showcase are always memorable. This is no exception.
Take a bow.

Hi Josie. I always like to get a review from you, so it's much appreciated. Many thanks and glad you enjoyed it. Rog, you kicked off the new year with a bang!

This is a keeper! Hi Mario. thanks for the listen and all the kind words. Killer! And that second verse, '...instant win, instant lose' love it!

Take a bow. Hi Olemon. Pleased that you picked up on "instant lose" which the advertising copy writers turned into "instant win". My wife used to write advertising copy and says - "Which would you rather buy, a brand new fragrance, or a different smell?" Never underestimate the power of words! Thanks for all the nice things you said. ROG.

First time I think I've heard your work Rog. Agree with the comments on George Harrison / Dire Straits.
Love some of those background synth parts too.
Thanks for sharing.
