Good job! I like it. Christiane's voice sounds amazing and the guitar solos are top notch. Love the punch this song packs and delivers, both in the writing and the performance of it - well done!!! Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate it!

Very cool Dave Boy the song takes me back to the 70’s. Your guitar work was just excellent. Chris’s vocal was so good. The piano was nice touch. Well done

Great bluesy song with strong story. The reverb matches exactly the night mood of the lyrics and Chris's emotional voice. Enjoyable chording, has some Gary Moore and some modern Dave  Your guitar playing is fantastic, I could listen to it all day and night. The band works, I especially like that right-panned rhythm guitar, gives the song even more edge. Janne Always nice to be mentioned in the same sentence as Gary Moore! Thanks very much, Janne, I appreciate it!

Hey Dave! Really enjoyed this with the Virtual Guitarist parts added. The start of the song reminded me of Witchy Woman from the Eagles. Between your guitars and the virtual ones they all mixed together real well. Still love Chris's voice on everything I hear too. Great work to you both, loved it! Hey Steve, thanks, man! Yeah, that VSTi is great, lots of potential. Price was right too! Although for sure I’ll buy at least one of their other offerings, which is why these companies give stuff away I guess, good marketing strategy. About time you uploaded a new song I think, it’s been a while!

About time you uploaded a new song I think, it’s been a while! Yeah, that first one I had was the Joanne challenge for "Paradox of You" in January 2018. I am actually working on a 2nd song now and hope to have it done in a few months. 1 song every 2 years? Sounds like me.... I'm still younger and not quite retired. I use the "I work too much" excuse for not getting songs done! Thanks for asking!

Man Dave and Wow Chris, this may be my new favorite of your excellent catalogue. Stellar sound, great vocal and write, excellent guitar work. This hit the high water mark on all aspects. Very pro and definitely in my wheelhouse. I have always loved minor blues. A superb listen, Tom

Dave & Chris
That was some track. Loved the vocal, lyric and overall feel, a really nice blues all round.
Some stellar playing (great tone) and interesting production touches.
All the elements of the song work and it was a great listen.
Peter Thanks for the listen and comments, Peter, happy you enjoyed it!

Great song, lyrics are much better than the typical blues. "All I've got left to lose is you," I'm gonna remember that line! Good ax work as always. Thanks for stopping by, TuneMonger!

Hi Dave
Wonderful song. Immaculate guitar work, great lyrics and excellent vocal. No need for comparisons with a voice like hers, but Chris reminds me a little of Margot Timmins in spots on this track. I agree with Floyd that this sounds totally professional.
Regards,
Leon Hi Leon, Thanks very much, I appreciate it!

Engaging sound out of the gate—Petty like to me—which immediately pulls at the ear . . . and then that lovely vocal kicks in, and the song goes to a whole new level Love the guitar work throughout, both the rhythm and lead. Nice harmonies as well. Lovely production—stitched together artfully. Killer stuff!
My best to you,
Deej Hi Deej, Thanks for your generous comments, I appreciate it!

Super smooth! Man that kick drum really thumps! The vocals and harmonies are superb! And I could have listened to the lead guitar for another ten minutes!
Well Done!

Hi Dave & Chris,
this is really great stuff, wow.
A very good write, perfectly arranged and what you can do as a team is amazing: Fantastic vocals (remind me a bit (but just a bit!) on the early Christine Perfect (later Christine McVie)and when the intro started I thought: 'Yeah, finally someone remembers the Zombies.
Chris, you sure know how to express yurself in a Blues song (and write one, too) and Dave - you know that I really love your stylish playing. And for someone who never got the tone out of his guitars that really satisfied him (me, unfortunately) I'm always stunned by yours.
Simply marvellous!
Cheers,
Stefan

This rides with BB King's feel to Garry Moore's tone.
The breathy vocals are spot on as is the narrative.
I'm not 100% on the accent guitar's distortion as it's a bit fizzy.
Excellent stuff.
Hi Ray, I'll revisit that guitar if we ever decide to do more with this song, easy enough to dial back the distortion a bit. Thanks for the listen and comments!

Hi Dave and Chris, You made a very, very nice Blues together. The whole time I felt some sort of 'withheld tension' in the melody and the singing of Chris. I expected her to go 'out of the roof' at the end, or subtle revenge because of that villain, but none of that happened  But never the less, I really like this song, the sologuitar and -of course- the singing of Chris. Very well done! Hans Hi Hans, Sorry the end disappointed you, but happy you liked the rest of it!
