Definitely hear The “Money For Nothing” influence on the signature riff in this tune. Well done. Everything rocks! The playing, the vocal, mix - all tops. Really love it. Great work!

ROG,
This one was easy to "get lost in"... one of those where you stop thinking about how it was put together and just listen... and a terrific listen it is.
Cool guitar work all around. Excellent solo. Cool vocals (and effects).
Everything in the mix sit where it should.
This stick in your head well after it is over. Nice. A good "pop rock" write.
fj Hey ROG, I had the same thought Floyd did about just listening and not picking it apart - just kick back and enjoy the ride. Everything - everything - in this song is top shelf. It's a stunning listen. Gives me a desire to work harder on mjy productions. To be so talented! Best to you. ALan

Excellent Rog!! Your guitars drive this song so nicely! Kind of a cross between ZZ Top and Dire Straights thing going on here. Your DAW sounds as good as any other to me! Thanks, Torrey

The harmony on the minor passage that serves as the bridge sounds SO much like ELO!!! And the vocoder on the outro was "Mr Blue Skies" all the way!
Remember the settings you used on this guitar solo for an upcoming song I will be sending. Thanks for looking in, Eddie. ELO? Yeah, I can live with that! Got those settings bookmarked for when you're ready. Cheers, ROG.

We enjoyed: The backstory, The cool write, The lead and BGV's, The Fender guitars,  The arrangement, The mix, and The way it sounded on our sound system. We will throw out an over used but apt word EPIC! J&B PS We don't care where she went so long as she inspired this song! Hi there J&B, Always like to get your opinion. Many thanks for all the over-the-top comments. Much appreciated. Cheers, ROG.

Loved the guitar sounds (like Herb reminds me of Dire Straits) and the song is immediately accessible.
Very nice solo and bass playing.
A pro piece from start to finish.
Peter Hi Peter, Yes, I was trying not to get too close to "Money For Nothing" on this one Dire Straits has always been a favourite with me and so a big influence. Many thanks, ROG.

Rog you had me hooked before the first measure was completed! Your guitar and bass work was great through out this song. Your mix was perfect.
Ps- its not the DAW. It's the musician that makes the music and you are a musician's musician. Hi Mario, That's very kind of you. You produce some great music yourself, and I always value your opinions. Cheers, ROG.

Love it! great mix
another nice rocker from the Professor
it does sound like ELO on the bkgrnd vocals
sweet solo!
you listened to Money For Nothing in prep for this I bet
you get inside that Mark Knopfler sound and nail it- awesome!
very enjoyable
Kenny Hi Kenny, Yes indeed, I was very conscious of not getting too close to that track! Glad you enjoyed it and many thanks for the review. Cheers, ROG

Hello, ROG
What a great groove and riff!
The Rolling Stones and The Beatles mixed.
I agree with floyd.
Cool guitar work all around. Excellent solo. Cool vocals (and effects).
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi Hi Shigeki, Many thanks for the listen and all the nice comments. Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers, ROG

I also got Dire Straits and ELO vibes. Very powerful rocker with nice vocals, I like especially the solo part and its chording. The vocoder effect is also nice addition.
Janne Hi Janne, Thanks for the listen and the nice comparisons - I've always been a fan of both Dire Straits and ELO. Cheers, ROG.
