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

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!!

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.

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

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
