Hi BlueAttitude, wowzers! Fantastic selection of instruments here and very soothing to hear. Very captivating lyrics. Looking forward to hear more! Thanks for stopping by, Joe! And we have another 40 songs or so up on reverbnation and soundcloud if you want to hear more  Very nice track, esp. liked the second guitar pass, kicking it! Yeah, I had fun with that outro solo. Happy you liked it! Dave & Chris,
Fantastic intro & the percussion throughout is as good as it gets ( love the congas).
The big,layered vocal sound really suits the song -which sounds more upbeat & radio friendly than your other work I`m familiar with. Then there`s the signature guitar ...
now that is the icing.
Very good!
Robert We have done a few upbeat tunes, but you are right, mostly we do slow minor key stuff. I have another upbeat one in the works, but next up will be a slow ballad that Chris wrote. Thanks for the listen and comments, Robert, appreciated!

 Hey y'all, this is over the top good. The funky groove, the write, the fabulous slinky vocal, the killer guitar, the cool arrangment and the mix...everything is slap down in the pocket for us. This is one of the tunes where we'd rather just listen more than to parse things out. For us it ALL works. We listen to music like this (and related to this) daily and this is as good as the best we hear. And we mean that with all the sincerity we can muster! J&B PS Yeah I use CLA bass and the bass rider but haven't nailed the clarity that you get. As in the way it cuts through the mix but steps on nothing. Nice. PPS Glad you added it to SC so we can add it to our playlist PPPS Grace slick leaves psychedelia and joins a funk blues band
Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more. If interested search on Janice Merritt. Thanks! Our Videos

Dave / Christiane,
I love the sound and feel of this song. The mix is tremendous!
Awesome vocals and some exceptional guitar parts...
Great, great stuff!
Bob Thanks, Bob! Dave & Chris, Nice to see that Duo is shedding old skin and re-growing new, colorful one for the summer This has very different feel than most of the tunes I have heard by Blue Attitude. Got this gospel hint of spice in this. Very positive! Vocals, guitar, production is at expert level. Dave, sweet solo! Thank you for sharing! Misha. Hi Misha, Well, the new, colorful skin is not going to last all summer I'm afraid, next one up will be a minor key ballad Thanks for your positive comments, it is appreciated!

Fonky! The rhythm section is solid and Chris is right there with it. Backing vocals strong as well. I'd nitpick over a lyric choice here and there, but the writer sings and that's the song. Loved the false ending and the kick back into the solo. Tone and play on the money. One of the best, if not up there at the top, I think....though I haven't heard them all. I'll listen again at SoundCloud. A few too many buffering "breaks" and likely not where you intended them. "Fonky"! I like that! Glad you liked the false ending, that was a last minute addition. Dave & Chris
Expertly done. Some wonderful musical moments, lovely vocal and an strong overall write.
Damn that last solo was good!
Peter Hi Peter, yeah, I had fun with the last solo. Always nice to get comments like that from a fellow guitarist!

Hi Dave and Chris,
This is a very good performance. Sounds very professional to me!
Heard another song of you as well (Bitten twice). Also very well done.
I can not be recorded in a ordinary 'home studio', I think.
Hans Berkhout
Hi Hans, Thanks for the listen and comments, and thanks for listening to the other song also! All of the songs we do are just in a home studio with no outboard equipment, just the soundcard into the PC. I do have quite a collection of plug-in effects from both waves and iZotope though which really helps.

Love the intro, nice funky and blues guitar riffs. Great vocals and harmonies. Solo guitar really kicks hard. Hot stuff, definitely works here while already suffering/enjoying the local heat wave Janne Thanks, Janne!

Really great use of RealTracks! Thanks for sharing. Hi Ember, I'm happy you liked the realtracks  Perfect timing and perfect song to introduce summer. Such a cool vocal from Chris. Your guitar work was excellent. Such a cool tone. Just jumps out and grabs you. Well done.. Thanks, Scott! We had fun with this one.

Impressive harmonies really iced the funk vibe cake for me with the sexy smooth lead vocal and the bass opening was a great choice for catchy retro flavor. Great job.

Love it! Funky, great percussion, excellent vocals. The guitars weren't bad, either.  Fake ending caught me by surprise. Fantastic mix, fun listen! The fake ending was an afterthought, never done that before in a song, but I thought it turned out pretty good. Thanks for the listen and comments, I appreciate it! Not sure I welcome Summer (hot where I live) BUT I sure welcome this song!! Really catchy.....grabs ya! Delicious guitar playing and Chris just seems to get better and better!! This is some GREAT stuff!!! Take care. Greg Man, we really need summer to arrive here! With the exception of a couple of nice days it's been much colder and wetter than normal for this time of year. Thanks for the support, Greg!

As usual with Blue Attitude productions, the standard is very high.
I could listen to Dave's guitar all night. Love the tone, love the notes.
Chris's singing is beautiful. Listen to the change in her voice when she sings 'and butterflies' in the first verse. Sublime.
Thanks for sharing.

Dave,
I missed this one!
The backing is out-of-this-world outstanding.
I absolutely love this arrangement, Your playing is super and along with Chris's lyrics and vocals, the two of your take this presentation to a level of professionalism that I strive to achieve but have yet to attain. This is as radio-friendly as anything I've ever heard anywhere!
In a word... BRILLIANT!
All the best,
Noel
