Awesome opening Fred. The Band popped into my head as soon as it started. Heard a little Dire Straits there as well. Well done. Awesome guitar work.

"After careful contemplation
I’ve settled on this bottle of wine
It was put or shut up
As she told me for the very last time"

Nice.

Excellent band - well mixed. The solos work nicely.

Your voice (and vocal styling) work well in this kind of "rock".

This is good.

Great feel Fred!! Sounds like a Clapton tune. I think it would have been nice to begin and end the chorus with "saying don't..." and have something else between. Wow, you're closing in on the 52 weeks, and going strong! Nice one! Take care. Greg

Fred,

All that Torrey said + 1... this rocks along nicely and the lyrics are cool.
Reminds me of Gerry Rafferty as well as Clapton.

Thanks, Robert. I LOVE Rafferty and have all his albums. I have gotten a lot of Clapton comparisons over the years, both musically and physically. We looked like brothers during his early 90s Unplugged stage. I got a chance to meet Elton John in 93--he immediately saw the resemblance but said I was much taller.

Hi Fred,

What Greg said - very Claptonesque. Can also hear some Rafferty as Robert mentioned.

Cool rocking song with a solid backing and top notch vocals.
Also loooovved both solos - smokin hot!

Excellent write,
Jez

This rocks - I can also here the Dire straits here too.
A very catchy hook in the chorus and the guitar solo is slick.

I really enjoyed this, thanks for sharing. Sounds to me like you were channeling some awesome JJ Cale there.

Thanks, Tim. Clapton took a lot from Cale, so I can see where you are coming from.

Yes, Clapton AND J.J. Clapton's J.J. Tribute album is great.

Cool that you mentioned Tony Joe. His latest projects are outstanding...as is this one.

Tight, well written, well sung with everything "hittin' the note!"

We much enjoyed the spin.
