Yeah, I love this! Great song, great lyrics and awesome vocal.
But man, the production!! The way you bring in the B3 at just the right time for example ... very cool. And then when you bring in the entire band ... WOW!
And mix on this is killer, everything sounds perfect, would love to know your process.
Well done!!!

Lawrence,
An excellent write. I'd quote my favorite lines, but that would be the entire song.
Needless to say...excellent vocal.
As Dave said - this is one heck of a production. That acoustic is sweet! The build is exquisite.
The mix sounds terrific. Top-shelf stuff here...

Wow - I thoroughly enjoyed this! You can feel the raw sincerity in this tune for sure. It has a real edge to it. I also enjoyed the gradual build up on this one. How you introduced each new instrument in one at a time - it really made it engaging and fun to listen to. Great work, and thanks so much for sharing 
Cheers,
Deryk

Excellent song, vocals good and strong, the acoustic takes the rhythm and the backing track organ and lead guitar gives it that soul. Love it

Well done!!! Thank for the kind words Dave. I was a bit worried that I may have held off the drums for too many measures but in the end I did what came natural and didn't over think it. So I'm glad to hear that you liked it. As for the mix, I have been using a judicious amount of reverb and delay lately. In this mix I have two reverbs, a delay, a slap-back, and a plate, and although not every instance is on every track there is a good amount of stacking. Also, I treat each instance as though it were an instrument in the mix. That is to say I eq them, I pan them, I may compress them, I will usually sidechain compress to the vocal so that the decay gets squashed when the vocal attacks. One metaphor that I like is I think of the instruments as a fish and the reverb is the water.

Now this is the blues!
Everything about this is perfect. I loved the vocals and the lyrics. I really liked the way you handled the dynamics on this one. And that mix..... WOW!
This is a keeper for sure and FWIW I think this should be on the radio right now!
I just posted a selfie and all of the responses were get well soon!

Thoughts:
We love the blues. We love a shuffle blues all the more. We are big gruverider fans.
Having all this in one package is just over the top good.
We could loop this for 30 minutes and enjoy every second.
Man, this oughta be playing over the credits of an HBO series.
The vocal, write, arrangement and build have all been mentioned. As good as it gets.
You could play this for a room full of producers and not get a nit picked.
Outstanding!!!

Gruverider, you've done it again. Great song, love the blues!! Your song incorporates so many things I was just writing about today. A really good title with a spin on it. Interesting lyrics that show and paint pictures and not just tell. A good bluesy tune and great vocal delivery. Prosody in action!!!

Very cool blues tune. I love these tunes. Had a hint of the Lachy Doley group. Super vocal. The acoustic was very cool . Excellent guitar break..

Excellent Job Lawrence! The slow buildup of the song worked well! Your vocal, as usual, could not be any better! Your overall production of the song is very professionally done! Thanks, Torrey

Lawrence,
Outstanding! Everything about this song works tremendously well. You should write an entire album around it...
One of your best vocals as well.

fj Thank you Floyd. I just love working in this genre and BIAB does a super job with it. I feel like I could write a song for every version of the blues that they have a style for and never get board. Wow - I thoroughly enjoyed this! You can feel the raw sincerity in this tune for sure. It has a real edge to it. I also enjoyed the gradual build up on this one. How you introduced each new instrument in one at a time - it really made it engaging and fun to listen to. Great work, and thanks so much for sharing Deryk, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I've been trying different proximities to the mic and got closer than I usually do for this one. And that guitar is played so well I felt it needed the spotlight so I went with the slow build. Excellent song, vocals good and strong, the acoustic takes the rhythm and the backing track organ and lead guitar gives it that soul. Love it
Thank you Cliftond. I'm glad you liked it.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
