What a tune! I'm picking up some Eagles influence here, which is never a bad thing. Love the groove, and the vocals knocked it out the park. It has a really nice vintage sound I enjoyed, and I thought the mix and production sounded really professional. You should be proud of this one - thanks for sharing 
Cheers,
Deryk

Smoking Hot!!!What would be for us a very, very difficult task? Picking 12 of y'all's songs for an album Killer sultry vocal and guitar to go with it. Folks that have a shadow of doubt about how good RD's can be need to listen to this. And those RD's are laying down the base of an outstanding selection of backing tracks. And the lyric is standout...one doesn't often hear that coolness in blues rock. Y'all set the piano on fire and exited the stage J&B

Hi Dave and Chris,
When hearing this, it wasn't the devil that got my soul, but a bunch of angels!
Very strong Blues. Liked it immediatly. The sologuitar did a very nice job.
And Chris was acting as one of the angels that take hold of my soul. Wonderful!
And after that song, another great bluessong of you started playing: Here's to you!
Great listening those songs after one another! Valentines Way has to compete more and more against excellent songs from you!
but it is still the winner, but close. Too close.
Very nice work from the two of you!
Hans
Hi Hans, Thanks very much! Maybe one day we will do a song that you like as much as Valentines Way

Dave & Chris,
Another good Blue Rock number.
All parts of the band sound good. Drums and bass are tight. Vocals sits in the mix well. The fills/solos really shine on this - great tone and playing.
Cool ending.
Y'all have had one heck of a year!!
fj Thanks, floyd! Yes, it has been a good year looking back at it. We both had extended vacations at different times this year, I think that helped; after not doing anything musically for a couple of weeks you tend to come back with fresh ideas. Still hoping to get one more done before the end of the year though, I'm almost finished building a bed to send over to Chris

Another strong blues number, devil seems to have quite many blues musicians' souls already Great selection of BIAB instruments mixed very well, I especially like the reverb on guitars. Vocals and solo guitar playing are on the highest level - yet sounding fresh and effortless. Janne

Dave / Chris
A professional sound, some excellent blues singing, loved the outro, and fluid, melodic, blues guitar fills and solo.
Another winner among many.
Great work.
Peter Yes, the outro is my favorite part too. Thanks, Peter! Yet another fantastic musical journey. This is very professional but not in a cold, clinical way.
Chris's sultry vocals and your (Dave's) smouldering lead guitar make this one hellishly hot track.
Love the lyrics too. A couple of standout examples: "sinners grin" and "the sky ain't fallin' but a fool will do".
Thanks for sharing this.
Cheers,
Mike Thanks for stopping by, Mike!

Great blues. You continue to be masterful at weaving your guitar around the vocal. The solo was on fire! I enjoyed this much.

The devil ain't down in Georgia, he's in Canada Excellent groove you have going on here. It reminded me of Witchy Woman. Great vocal and very tasty guitar all rolled up in a very professional mix. You two should be very proud of this on.

Hi Dave & Chris,
you really keep 'em coming ....!
That's a terrific blues number and there isn't a thing about it that I wouldn't like an awful lot.
Chris, you sure got the hang of singing the blues, no doubt about that. And, Dave, your tasteful guitar playing and choice of tone is always a special treat.
It sounds good, because it simply IS good.
Take care,
Stefan
Always enjoy hearing from you, thanks, Stefan!

Another excellent tune Dave! Really enjoyed your solo work before verse 3. You balanced the guitars very nicely with the rest of the music. Really like your choice on the electric piano, that fit the song perfectly. Of course the lyrics/vocal from Chris are spot on like usual. Keep 'em coming, I can't get enough! Cheers, Steve! Still waiting to hear a new one from you!

This is really great. Excellent blues, and the delivery is superb.
Instrumentation is perfect and fits in so well. I really like the breaks. Gives added dimension. Thanks very much, Trev!

Dave & Chris
Some serious soul infused blues track you made! Hot stuff! I do not believe I have heard a single mediocre tune from you. This is not exception. Love it! For some strange reason, I get the vibe of LV#9 by The Searchers from this.
Thank you for sharing!
Misha.

Dave & Chris,
Drum intro had me swaying and when Chris comes in I close my eyes and enjoy the sultry ride.
Another blues rocker knocked out of the park- very,very good!
Interesting to hear that el.piano sitting high in the mix-sounds so good with the guitar solo.
Long may you run Blue Attitude... you guys are proof that the line between home studio and professionally produced music has all but disappeared.
Robert Thanks very much, Robert! It's been a fun ride, that's for sure

Your non solo licks could use a little more level - they're cool & need to be heard.
the rest of the arrangement is cool - I wondered about the Rhodes up the middle at 1st but it doesn't get in the way so it well placed.
Vocals? She does this stuff really well. Hi Ray, Getting the guitar levels right, especially during the fills, is something I spend a lot of time on. If I'm not sure I err on the side of caution and turn them down a bit, the vocal always has to be the star. Thanks!
