The lyrics on this are good - makes this non-jazzy guy curious about other versions.
Janice`s vocals are so right.
A fine,fine collaboration.

Thank you Robert. There are hundreds of versions of this and it seems they all have different lyrics!

Excellent.

Thanks Scott appreciate the comments on the guitar playing it's a nice progression to play over.

After the instrumental at the end to finish, would also love to hear you record your own backing vocals to accompany your lead vocals.

Again all round Fantastic.

Thanks

Made me sweat. Janice sounds wonderful twisting the blues. "Let's roll" indeed, right back into that tasty guitar we'd had just a nibble off before. What a way to take it out.

Peter, guitar playing is great and you got some signature tube sound, which I initially thought was a bit dry, but when solo came in I totally got the texture you were after. Production is top tier. Congrats to you all and thank you for sharing!

Misha.


Thanks a lot Misha, appreciate the comments on the guitar tone.

Thank you Scott. Bud and I have listened to many versions of this over the years and it was a pleasant surprise when Peter suggested it for a collab.

I didn't expect the guitar solo - icing on top of an already scrumptious cake.


Very much appreciated David.

the mix is top notch

Peter, I've never noticed before but I heard some ec (eric) influence in those solos

fine playing

I've been watching Peaky Blinders (early 1900s English crime drama)

and this song would fit in beautifully.

btw, I've played this one before, years ago in a club band.

I was just the quiet bass player in the background.


Kenny

Appreciate all those positive comments.
EC - Janice / Bud often comment on my Clapton influences, been listening to him for a long time.

This version is as good as or better than most of the commercial versions that I have heard.

You all should be very proud of this one.


Mario thanks for those very nice comments.
