Good old ZZ Top blues-rocknroll, is it really possible to get that guitar sound out of BIAB smile Excellent raspy vocals and superb kicking mix.

Hi Gruverider,

one might think that all bluesrock songs must have been sung and played before - not this one, man: I LOVE IT.

And what will I have to drink and smoke to get a voice like yours? (Who would care what the doctor said...) - just stunning !!!!!

ZZ Top was my first thought also.

Great blues man! You have the perfect voice this genre.

I thoroughly enjoyed this.

Hello, Lawrence

Really nice groove!
As others say, you have the perfect voice for blues/rock!
Nice use of the guitars!
I agree with floyd.
The extra delay on the slide was a great touch - really brought it to life.
Needless to say, the vocal is top shelf.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Glad that you enjoyed it! A good place to start might be 20 years of whiskey and five years of vodka

Lawrence,

This is a really, really fine listen. I love the groove, your writing and playing are as strong as always, your arranging is excellent (again 'as always') and your vocals are top notch (once again!). When it comes to making music that sounds like it's radio ready and radio friendly, there's few who can match you on the forum. Your works inspire me.

All the best,
Noel
