This song has got some serious attitude to it.  What more is there to say? Everything about this song is just *so* good. Great job, guys! Always nice when someone from pgmusic stops by, thanks Ember!

Dave
Some wonderful expressive playing and singing by Chris.Can you teach me the lick at 1.52?
Gary Moore would be proud of this one (bit of Jimmy Page near the end?).
Loved it!
Peter Thanks Peter, I thought you might like this! I would be more than happy to show you any licks I know. BUT! In return you would need to show me some of the cool things you have going on, that really fast thing you do for example P.S. Someone over on soundcloud mentioned the Jimmy Page thing too. He is not a player I studied, but I listened to lots of Zeppelin back in the day. Something slipped in by osmosis maybe?

Dave and Chris,  This really sizzles!!!!! The production is spectacular, the arrangement is magnificent, Dave's guitar work is inspired musical poetry and Chris's vocals are absolutely incredible. Whichever speaker I turned to, nothing but the very best quality music met me. It was a journey and half in stereo on steroids! Totally loved it. All the best, Noel P.S. I'm glad you've linked this to Soundcloud. It's great being able to leave a comment.

Man, the back and forth with the guitar and vocal is SOOOOOO cool. Just playing off each other and together. Authentic. I like this! A LOT!

Man I loved that. Very reminiscent of Since I been Loving You by Zep from the early days.
Well played... I heard a few licks that I really enjoyed, that stuck out to me as... "yeah man"....
Tone on the guitar was right where it needed to be on this.
Vocals were good too.

Back again for a SC listen...now we can add it to the playlist!
Gets better each listen..if that’s possible!
Janice mentioned how much she likes the open airy live sound....and threw down her highest compliment “she has a lot of soul and so does his playing.”

Love Chris's voice. First time I've heard you guys. Like your guitar work as well. You've done this before!  Yeah, once or twice Thanks, Steve! Looking forward to hearing something from you too.

Dave and Chris,
the very first thing that struck me as I clicked onto this was "Gary Moore would be smiling ear to ear if he were still with us." I'm a huge fan of his. Your tone and style remind me a lot of him.
I agree with Floyd's comment about Chris' voice - has a Janis Joplin aura to it.
Everything about this says "Smokin' Hot". What a great listen!!!! Best to both of you.
Alan Thanks very much, Alan! He was a great player indeed, one of a kind. I did a tribute to him a few years ago, shortly after he passed. It's up on reverbnation if you want to give it a spin, you might like it. Edit: Just remembered you are not allowed to post covers here so I removed the link.

It's all been said and I agree with it all.
This is how blues should be played!
I can definitely see this being played on the TV show NCIS New Orleans.
You took me to a smokey blues bar where when this is played live even the pool players stop to listen!
This is a keeper.

Wow - this is stunningly good! I would not bat an eyelash hearing this on the radio among the classics. The mix here is nearly perfect. Not a single sound comes across as too loud, or too quite, or incorrectly panned. Not to mention - those vocals! Oh my goodness, those vocals are tremendous. I was loving that intro and tapping my foot along, but when she started singing that sealed the deal. Great work here - you should be proud of this! Thanks so much for sharing Awesome comments! Thanks very much, Deryk!

Dave, That's what I'm talkin bout. The mix is outstanding, a leap forward. The guitar and vocals are outstanding. Love the over the top bends. Your best post to date. Smoldering Blues done the way they should be done. Fresh out of the oven and red hot, Tom Tom, you have no idea how much that means to me! I'm always trying to improve my production and mixing skills and it made my day to read that.

Dave,
Well that cut through the morning fog!
It takes quite something to get my eyes closing, goosebumps and hair standing up on blues tune... top shelf in all respects.
Robert Thanks, Robert, happy you liked it!

"just great! A blistering blues piece - Chris's voice is tremendous - she really hits this one in all the right places. Also, your guitar is excellent throughout." We'll also jump in with what Bob said. Deep simmering blues...make no mistakes...the real deal here. If you don't like this you don't have a blues note in your body. And you are leading an empty life Like Tom said "Fresh out of the oven and red hot..." Every aspect of the production is in the pocket. All of it. Our only regret is that we can't add it to our fav Soundcloud list! Smokin wonderful! J&B Thanks very much, Bud! I respect you immensely as a producer and as someone that knows what real blues music is, so comments like that make my day. For the soundcloud thing, I always upload there but usually wait for a few days after I upload to reverbnation, because I have a lot more followers there. Thanks again!
