Slightly larger band? It sounds huge. Cool.  Hi David, I've always been a master of the under-statement! Many thanks for the listen. Cheers, ROG.

This song has such a classic feel to it. And I have to agree that it does sound like a rather large band! I think that the whole arrangement is pretty spot on for what you were trying to accomplish and sounds very professional. Great job, and can't wait for the next one! Hi Ember, Yes, sometimes I feel the need to surround myself with the big band! Many thanks for the listen and review - much appreciated. Glad you liked it. Cheers, ROG.

Rog,
This is terrific! There's nothing not to like about this one. Everything fits, and well written. Love the guitar, and the sax solos, and the vocals are just right.
Steve

ROG,
A B-I-G classic sound! Great music and lyric. You really shine on this. Love these older Blues numbers. The Sudden ending took me by surprise bit I loved it!
This song really smokes! Supper job - totally loved it! Wishing you well.
Alan Hi Alan, Always pleased to get a review from you. The ending was just work-in-progress, but then I got to like it and it stayed! Glad you liked my take on the old blues style. Many thanks, ROG.

Wow - what a tune! I absolutely love the groove and energy to this song. I'm definitely getting a classic 50's sort of vibe here. It's very reminiscent of BB King. It had my foot tapping in about 5 seconds. Great work, and thanks so much for sharing Hi Deryk, Many thanks for the kind comments. BB king was always a hero of mine - I grew up listening to his wonderful blues guitar style. Pleased you liked this one. Cheers, ROG.

 You know how much we love the blues and, man, does it every hit all the buttons. The write, arrangement, your vocal and your guitar simply nailed the sound. Like Eddie alluded to it reminded us of the period when BB always performed with that great horn section. Those guys nearly stole the show on occasion. Your performances on vocals, guitar and bass are really hittin' the note. Loving that guitar tone too! Great listen and look forward to more in our playlist. Kudos! J&B Hi J&B Hey, thanks you two. You know I love your own stuff and value your informed opinion, so very pleased that this one found favour with you. Cheers, ROG.

Yes BB would have loved this! I love the blues and this is a keeper as far as I am concerned.
Everything is perfect, your vocal, lyrics, backing tracks, mix and excellent guitar and bass chops.
There isn't a blues fan out there that wouldn't like this. They'd all love it.
This is a keeper.
OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?

Shigeki Adachi Hi Shigeki, Hey many thanks for looking in on this one - much appreciated. Good to know that "The Blues" goes down well in Japan too. Maybe it's a universal thing. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks again for the kind words. Cheers, ROG.
