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 smile

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 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.

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.”

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.

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 smile


Awesome comments!

Thanks very much, Deryk! smile

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.

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 smile

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! smile
