Yeah, now you’re talking!!
Just a killer job on this, Tom.
Love the vocal, the arrangement, and man, that guitar is smokin'!
Just about as good as it gets IMHO. Hey Tom, You smoking, man! Dave summed this up better than I ever could have. Love the guitar accents behind the vocals on the stops - great idea!. What a great sound on your axe and that harmonica is so gritty good. Excellent! How can a song this hot be so cool? Alan

Tom
Brilliant. A really nice Stevie Ray Vaughan sound. Loved the guitars, vocals and the overall write.
Superb blues played wonderfully.
Peter Thank you for the wonderful review Peter, Tom Wow, such a great rocking shuffle here... I like the sounds you create with the line "Since I met you you been on my mind"... Good writing, playing, & singing... I can see you had a lot of fun with one & I certainly enjoyed listening to the final product!
Jim, thanks for giving it a spin. I appreciate it, Tom

Loved how you described the song " “dragging by the seat of your pants shuffle”. This so describes the song. The backtrack was exceptional Tom. Your vocal was exceptional, but the guitar was just killer so much cool stuff been done. The fills around the vocal - wow.. Harmonica was very cool as well... Thanks for all those great comments,Tom

tommyad,
The opening is terrific, just pulls you right in from the start . . . and it just cranks from there on. Really good! And like the hook a lot—real nice line. Just some classic, killer blues. You nailed this one!
My humble regards,
Deej

Very nice blues track. I loved the guitar in this.
Thank you for sharing
Will
Thanks Will, Tom Wow! I’d call that a perfect illustration of just how to handle shuffle-type blues. Thought all the components were laid in there just right, especially liked how you used the harmonica and organ towards the end. And that line “since I met you”! —great use of the stops right there to add some punch. Great work! Thanks for coming by. I appreciate the listen and the fine review,Tom

Man, you nailed it - what a killer ! Although there's an amazing lot of great new songs on display this is my 'tune of the week'. I don't have to make any comments regarding vox, backing track, sound or whatever: Everything is just kicking [*****]. And I do love that sort of lyrics. Okay, I do have to mention that I was completely struck by that great guitar work.
All thumbs up (sorry I only got two of them).
All the best,
Stefan
Thank you for the generous words and very kind review, Tom

"One for the blues fans". Well, that would be me then.  A great track Tom, sloppy and dirty to boot. Love your playing as usual. Oh yes..... one more time...  John

Tom,
Wonderful slow shuffle blues!
I entirely agree with floyd.
Super guitar work on this! ALL the guitars work together. The Drums sound great. The organ has nice bite to it. The harmonica is a real standout, too - fit in nicely.
Good vocals, sitting "just right".
This is genuine blues.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

Dang Tom...there's always a bit of blues in your tunes but when you do straight out blues you GO ALL THE WAY!!!
Every aspect of this just oozes the blues. Your excellent guitar and vocal performances have just the right amount of grit to make this sound about as authentic as it gets. And the lyric? It could've been written by any of the great blues masters. Spot on with the theme and vocal delivery.
Then there's the cool arrangement, the signature Tommyad great mix and backing tracks...the harp and organ guys sound like they've been playing with the guitar man for years.
Outa sight!!!
J&B
A big thanks for the wonderful review, Tom Some GET DOWN BLUES!!! Great fell Tom!! Nice gritty number with some sweet vocals and tasty guitar on those Fender axes! Loved it!!! Take care. Greg Thank you Greg for the kind words and your ongoing support, Tom
