I posted this song four years ago and always wanted to do a wry video to go with it. Well, I finally got around to it!
I took the opportunity to remix and remaster the audio track as well.
Being four years older the lyrics are even more applicable, sad to say! frown

BIAB RealStyles (all changed to 85bpm climbing to 88bpm)
_TBLZSLB.STY TexBlz12-8 (L and R Rhythm guitars, bass and drums used)
_BLZ_MNH.STY Laid Back Blues (Soloist 571 Harmonica track only)
_TBLZSHP.STY TexBlzRockShuffle w Piano (BBPiano 1591 track only)

I provided the rhythm guitar (centre), lead guitar (thank you Albert...) and vocal.
Lyrics here.
As usual, the video may load at 1080HD or you may need to select that.

What a tune! Wonderful playing here. There is so much character and smokiness here, you captured that old school blues vibe perfectly. Not to mention - that groove is infectious! Got my toe tapping within about 10 seconds. Plus, those visuals in the video are top notch smile

Great work, thanks for sharing!

John,

An excellent (and very clever) Blues write.

A pro production and mix.

A super Blues vocal!

Killer video. Obviously a LOT of work went into that. I assume you are "lip-syncing" the leads that you recorded earlier? It is VERY impressive.

EVERYTING about this is....Excellent.

John,

It's great to see you visiting again. This is spectacular!

Your composing, your singing and your arrangement and everything about its presentation is super! From beginning to end, I found this incredibly engaging. The video was a masterpiece! I cannot imagine how long it must take to put something together like that.

For me, this was total entertainment!

All the best,
Noel
