Enjoyed this from start to finish. This is a quality write, performance and production. The lead guitar and vocals are both top notch. I'm liking this song a lot.
Charlie Thanks so much, Charlie! Means a lot to read those comments

Nicely done.
Good ripping tone on the guitar. Herb, I've been using the Scuffham Amps S-Gear amp simulator for the last few months. I know you are not a fan of amp sims, but this one is a little different than the rest IMHO. He concentrates on getting great sounding amp tones instead of adding tons of FX like the other guys do, I've always been a guitar plugged direct into the amp kind of guy anyway, so a good fit. Anyway, I love it! Best $125 I ever spent. It was Tom Adams that turned me onto S-GEAR BTW, I saw in a post a few months ago that he uses it so I downloaded the demo and was instantly hooked.

"and the new day is dawning weak
and the hope is arising steep
they who dare, staying brave in me
are not dying"
Great lines!
Nice write and vocal/guitar (lead and rhythm) performances.
The word "classy" comes to mind.
Yep, we like it!
J&B Awesome comments, thanks guys!

Chris and Dave, I like blues and I sure like this. This song has that classic blues vibe with a great vocal that works with your leads very well. This song puts in mind of some of John Fogerty's early work with CCR (The first 2-3 albums) reminiscent of their version of "I put a spell on you". Man I love that stuff!! That music is where I learned to play. Great job and I know you are still tweaking it but it sounds great to me. Take care, Torrey. Thanks so much, Torrey! Yeah, I love that early CCR stuff too, classic! That music is also what started me playing lead guitar, that repeating riff in "Green River" is actually just the blues scale, descending. Once I had that figured out lots of other stuff started falling into place.

Great stuff - the new mix sounds good. Some lovely licks in the outro.
Top quality all round.

Really cool tune. Love the vibe and some great chops both vocally and with the lead riffs on guitar.
Nice and brooding. Well written and arranged.

Sandra Thanks for giving this a listen, Sandra! I'm a fan of your playing and your music, so nice to get feedback from you Interesting that you say 6/8, that shows that I am not a schooled musician I guess. I think of it as being 12/8, 12 beats in the bar. My songwriting partner Christiane on the other hand also calls it 6/8, so two against one
