Wow Dave and Chris! It immediately grabs you. It's like all of the usual comments apply, just notched up AGAIN. I'm always impressed with your(pl) work.
I was NOT expecting that second background at "at least a hundred times." Eerily perfect! That thing that blows me away about it is, it legitimately sounds like a backup singer to me. Not an echo of what was just sung; but it's own supporting role. Loved it!
As you know, your guitars always speak to me. It's like listening to a phenomenal song; in a different language. You know exactly what is be said without knowing what those words are.
Nice clean mix as well.
Mark me down as impressed once again! Caaron, Thanks so much for taking the time to write such a great review, we really appreciate it  Time for a new one from you I think?

Dave and Chris,
Your tunes always inspire me. There are some stronger tunes & weaker ones, but there absolutely not a single song that you made that I did not like. I listened to this several times in past 2 days to come up with healthy critique. It is powerful, written, played and recorded very well. What I felt was missing is guitar "support" / talk back lines in some places in first half of the tune, for example 0:34 or 1:12. not even something elaborate, perhaps just couple of notes (or even single note tremolo). Sort of guitar saying: "I am here, listening".
Ok, I will shut up now.
Excellent teamwork! Congrats, and thank you for sharing.
Misha.

Dave & Chris ...
You guys are just so darn good! Your music is always radio ready to my old ears (turned 73 today- yikes!!!).
Chris' voice is pro and your guitar work puts the rest of us guitar pickers on notice. Such a great listen!
Wishing both of you the very best ...

Great recording. Great vocals and guitar playing. Good lyrics. Good song. Thanks for the listen and comment! Loved this. Was cool how Chris delivered the vocal. Cool phrasing. Dave yours guitar tracks were awesome. Well done Thanks very much, Scott. Loved your latest! Wow Dave and Chris, this is extremely tasty! Great vocal and as usual guitar chops!
You should be very proud of this fantastic blues. Thanks, Mario! Yes, I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out.

Hi Dave and Chris
Another totally professional sounding effort. Like Floyd said, you two always deliver.
Regards,
Leon Thanks, Leon! Dave / Chris
Wonderful singing and playing. Loved the solo - beautiful tone and phrasing.
Top notch all the way.
Peter Thanks, Peter! I used my homemade (Warmoth) strat on this one. Hi Dave & Chris,
Dave, not only the song title reminded me on "Still Got The Blues", but your wonderful playing also reminded me on how gary Moore played his axe on that song (this is an ultimate compliment BTW).
Great song, great lyrics, great arrangement and, Chris, very, very well-sung.
No doubt: You two still got the blues and I beg you to keep 'em coming !
Stay healthy,
Stefan Hi Stefan, Gary Moore was certainly a force of nature! Man, that guy could play. And "Still got the Blues" is probably as close to a perfect blues song that was ever written. I did a tribute to him shortly after he died called "Still got the midnight blues", an instrumental that combined his songs "Midnight Blues" and "Still got the Blues". If I could play 1/10 as good as he could I would be a happy guy! Thanks for your kind words, and you guys stay healthy over there too! Chris keeps me up to date on the situation over there.

Y'all are a a tag team bunch of musicians and writers. You just keep getting better.
Nice job.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Wow - I thoroughly enjoyed this one The arrangement is fantastic, and it flows tremendously well. Nicely catchy without being overbearing, and it sets a mood from the get go. Top notch vocals and lyrics too. I wouldn't change a thing - thanks for sharing! Thanks, Deryk! Your song writing ability is amazing, Dave. So much variation, and every one is quite special. Your guitar and Chris' voice REALLY bring them all to a higher level of amazing. Keep 'em coming. I really appreciate that, thanks, Marty! Hi Dave and Chris,
What cool Blues you both make together! Everything fits; the vocals, the leadguitar, the song itself! Your songs always give me a very relaxed feeling. I think I wrote it before: sipping a Rum and Coke (I don't like beer) in a pub and just enjoy listening your songs. To me you can play on forever, or till I'm brought to bed.
So, it's not so easy to say why this song is your best or not. They are all very good and well performed!
Oh yes, I must admit, one of your songs is still in my top 1; Valentines Way. But 'Still got this pain' could easily be number 2. Although... your other songs too!
Hans
I'm a rum fan too, although just over ice. But then I also like beer and wine, depends on my mood.  Most of the stores are shut down here as of yesterday except for essential services, but it turns out that liquor is deemed as being essential  Thanks, Hans!

Love the lyric. One of Chris' strongest of those I've heard. It's a winning mix, the drums in particular are so present. Love the breaks between verses and that "lean in" thing they produce in this listener. Your play is perfectly expressive in tone and licks. Top-notch, Dave. Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion. Not opposed to it, just juggling some major life challenges right now.

Excellent! It took a couple listens through before I decided any problems with the mix could be attributed to my allergies. And I enjoyed each and every listen.  Thanks for the listens, David, happy you enjoyed it! Another great one, you two have the magic touch musically. Very, very pro sounding in every way. Thanks! Three back to back listens...yeah, we like!
You know I'm a sucker for sparse mixes and this one delivers with just the right amount of open feel.
We also like the light swing feel that really works well.
Man, do those drums ever pop.
Now on to the vocal and guitar performances...Your guitar chops are always, what's the word? hmmm...how about classy. And this tune is a wonderful example of that. Chris's vocal has a laid back mellow feel but still with the right amount of edge -- if that makes sense. Meaning it well delivers the pain of the lyric.
You two are and always have been inspiring!
J&B
Thanks Janice and Bud, we always enjoy reading comments from you, we are both fans of your music. And about the sparse mix, I've always been a fan of the KISS method

Misha. Hi Misha, You are probably right. I'll revisit this song at some point, I always do, and almost always end up making changes. Thanks, I appreciate your comments! Dave & Chris ...

Alan Nice of you to say that, Alan, but I happen to know how good a player you are! You should consider posting some of your older songs at some point that featured your guitar work, I've heard a couple but would love to hear more and I'm sure I'm not alone in that. Y'all are a a tag team bunch of musicians and writers. You just keep getting better.
Nice job. Thanks, Herb. Love the lyric. One of Chris' strongest of those I've heard. It's a winning mix, the drums in particular are so present. Love the breaks between verses and that "lean in" thing they produce in this listener. Your play is perfectly expressive in tone and licks. Top-notch, Dave. Thanks. Happy you liked this one, Tang! Stay safe over there.

Very nice guitar riffs and the solo is especially likeable. Classic chording fits the 12/8 style and the band perfectly, although the mood feels bit too poppy when compared to the pain in the lyrics, but that's only my problem . Vocals are great and small backing parts add nice details. Janne

A good, solid song that got its hooks in me.
The slinky groove pulses and ambulates and moves me along, sweeping me up in its current.
Vocal and guitar are tops--again.
