What can I say?
The Blue Attitude team continues to set the bar very high. Marty's delivery is exceptional.
This is no exception either. Real Blues, with feeling. Superb.
Appreciate that, thanks, Trev!

Mmm, mmm, good. Mmm, mmm, good. This collaboration is mmm, mmm, good! Song to the tune of that soup commercial from yesteryear.
You all hit this out of the park---Mark McGuire, Sammy Sosa, and Barry Bonds on steroids.
Top to bottom left to right, this performance is primo, this performance is hot, hot, hot. One of the best from you guys.

This is such a well-written song, Dave. The guitars sound perfect, as always, and Chris' voice is a breath of beautiful blues. Man, you guys are fun. Thanks for letting play along, and thanks everyone for the kind words. Hey Marty, My pleasure! It was great having you along for the ride, and we will hopefully do it again soon

Dave,Chris & Marty,
Wow, BlueAttitude has a new bassist- and you three sound like you were playing blues from the cradle!
There`s a spontaneity about this that`s a little different to my way of hearing- more than a jam, but relaxed enough to be a rehearsal. I agree with Floyd there`s something about the vocal quality that got my attention;a little further back, more reverb??
Very, very good.
Robert
I may have a little more reverb on the vocal than I normally use, not sure. But the signal chain is pretty much the same as I’ve used for the last year or so. Thanks, Robert!

A lovely blues production, all parts work well separately and together.
Dave - some stellar playing
Chris - excellent vocal

Great work all round.

What's not to like? Both you and Chris really stretch out on this one, Dave and it's great to hear Marty joining the party. Tasty indeed.

Hi Dave, Chris and Marty,
What a strong song you made here!!!
Not only Marty hits the park here, but Chris did as well with an even more powerfull voice now!
And let's not forget you, Dave. You managed to create a wonderfull Blues (again).
It's a pity it is to early here when listening to your song. Otherwise I would be lying on my sofa with some booze enjoying this song, and a lot of others from your hand, Dave. Or maybe just with a glass of red wine...
Have a nice day at home again, all of you,
Hans

Hi Guys,
Raw, basic, aggressive and wonderful.
All the elements which go to make up a classic, slow blues, are in there
and done to perfection.
A powerful backing track, supporting a terrific vocal delivery and in a great blues key - pretty much
my favourite key for playing blues lead.
Loved it.
ROG.
Yes, 'G' is my favorite also for blues, followed by 'C'. But we pick keys for vocals reasons, I just happened to get lucky on this one Thanks, ROG!

So BlueAttitude tilts a bit more toward the blues side of blues rock for this one! Man, that's some passionate playing and singing. Oozing soul.... Chris' voice, always excellent, really soars on this one as it seems more up front in a good way. And Marty's bass part sits in so nicely. Just the right note choice and nothing over the top for the arrangement and feel. Makes me wish I'd stayed with electric a bit longer when venturing out from the bass fiddle And an excellent blues lyric. It sets the mood with relatively few words as we feel the style should. Standout! J&B Thanks Janice and Bud And never too late to get into playing electric bass, Bud! I’ll bet after playing that standup you would find it pretty easy to get into playing electric.

Basic blues that packed a good wallop. I had that "feel comfortable" quality about it, but breathed smoke in the vocals and leads. I like Marty's half-step movement throughout...a bit unusual and outside and entertaining in it's own right for that. Good one, guys. Yeah, I liked that bass part too for the same reason. Thanks, Tang!

This is blues at its finest!
I am a big blues fan and you three knocked this one out of park. Great backing tracks, guitars (as usual), and a vocal that just couldn't be any better!
You three might want to contact Alligator records. They only produce blues CDs and this is better than many of their current recording artists.
Outstanding song. Hi Mario, I'm not sure about the Alligator comment, they have some pretty big names in blues on that label. But heck, I'll take it! Thanks very much, I appreciate it

Cleverly done, cleverly sung, clever production and it is a basic bold blues with a good three piece .
Thanks Thanks for the listen and comment!

What I enjoy so much about this forum is the unquestioned excellence in music here that should have a much wider audience. This is a perfect example of what I'm talking about.
Everything is what and where it should be. When it comes to the execution of recording technicalities and such, I am little more than an frustrated rookie. But my ears know perfection they hear it. I just heard it.
Chris, Dave & Marty ... this song could not have been conceived, arranged and performed more brilliantly than you folks managed to do. As someone mentioned earlier, whether we realize it or not, we have immediate expectations when we hear/read certain names. I always anticipate a fabulous listen when i click onto a Blue Attitude song. I'm never disappointed. And this one exceeds even my highest expectations.
A tip of the hat and an amazed WOW! to all three of you.
Take car and be safe ...
Alan Wonderful review, thanks very much Alan!
