VERY cool - bass is in the pocket, guitars are ace, the vocals are SWEEET.
As you're using EZDrummer I'd suggest swapping kick samples or EQing the one you have to take a little more click away.
Lovely lead tone - as always.
Excellent band.
Cheers

Excellent team work!!! WOW! Such a powerful tune in such short time. Scary good. No shortcomings, everything and everyone sound amazing & BIG! Production is sweet. Dave, super catchy guitar solo. Congrats to you all! Enjoyed it a lot, and thank you for being here.
Misha. Thank you, Misha!  Another high quality production from the BA team. Superb work all round. (Really enjoying Chris' harmonies on the last couple of tracks.)
Regards,
Leon Thanks for stopping by, Leon! The three of you deliver the goods every time. Chris' voice just shines on everything she does. love listening to her! Great lyric!
Dave, you have such a "feel" for your guitar. Your work always make me say, "Damn ... wish I could play like that!"
And Marty plays such a sweet bass. He's always spot on.
That was a terrific listen. Loved the opening ... so cool. I always look forward to your new releases ... such a pleasure to listen to. Wishing all of you the very best. Be safe ...
Alan For me guitar has always been about "feel". The guys I like the most, mainly the old blues guys, didn't have much in the way of technique, but they knew how to make each note count. Thanks, Alan, I appreciate it

BA
Bad [*****].
Begs Attention.
Best Around.
Blue Attitude!!!
Sweet opening guitar. Gorgeous tone, melodic.
Chris' vocal comes it at JUST the right level. Loud and Proud. Beautiful.
Great choice for the acoustic. And really nicely EQ'd!!! (so often overlooked)
And, once again, whatever it is you do to your organ track...makes it shine...
And, Man! Marty's bass is laid in there PERFECTLY. Both the playing and the mixing.
Killer solo. So musical. Pro.
Chris seems to be "out-doing herself" at every turn. The writing just keeps getting better and better. This is awesome Rock writing. Her vocals - and harmonies - are reaching amazing heights. Real Wow factor.
Top-shelf mix.
Y'all are killin' it.
Blue.
Attitude.
fj YEP!!!! Floyd said it all so well. A complete CLASS A production all the way!! Take care. Greg

Your guitar licks are always organic to the song. I especially like the introduction.
The mood of the music fits the mood of the lyrics.
I had to listen to this more than once!

Great write. We liked in particular: "Half of my heart, your part fallen and torn apart from you" Great guitar. We liked in particular: All of it. Great Vocal. We liked in particular: Every note. Killer drums and organ and whoever that bass guy is nailed it. And the B&W images in the video worked excellently. Throw in the "Dave mix" and y'all have another great pro level production. Y'all's consistency in creating outstanding productions is quite remarkable! J&B Thanks so much guys, awesome comments!

Ooh. Ooh. Brilliant break before the solo. Worth the price of admission. Wonderful opening too. Chris sounds more and more like Stevie to me. Marty hits all the right licks and notes to move this forward. The BIAB organ is wonderfully coherent. That doesn't always happen automatically with keys. The solo, though, is what lifts this up over the horizon. Really enjoyed this head-hanger. Thanks, Tangmo! That particular B3 realtrack is a good one, I've used it before. Very cool intro Dave. Loved this song. Chris's vocal was awesome. Boy does Marty leave a nice touch on the song. Some very cool runs. Your guitar was perfect for the song. Very creative solo. Well done Yes, Marty is the real deal for sure. Thanks, Scott! I see you have a new one up, I'll be along shortly to give it a spin. Hi guys. Very well done on this.
Love the emotion that the vocal evokes.
This could easily be playing on the radio.
Well done on the production.
The lead guitar work is also a stand out.
Regards Rob4580 Appreciate that, Rob, thanks!

Blue Attitude,
Nailed it! Some excellent reviews I like floyd's, and some stunning playing, singing and writing.
A superior production and overall a truly excellent song.
(As you know I'm a sucker for a good guitar solo and that was a good one!)
Peter Always great to read comments like that from a fellow guitarist, thanks, Peter!  Dave, Chris, Marty, this is really really good. The opening guitar with the unusual note choices captures the listener’s attention. The bass adds a lot and the vocals keep getting better and better. I love everything about it and it no doubt is one of your best. You three are on a big time roll, Tom Thanks so much, Tom! Great job everyone. Outstanding vocals. Real emotion. Excellent electric guitar. You can't beat the sound of an electric guitar played with a blue attitude like that [pun sort of intended as the name fits your playing perfectly]. Thanks jpt*3!

Hi Dave,
Another fabulous song from the team.
The Hammond RT is just amazing - what a good sound for this track.
Wonderful guitar work - very soulful and expressive. Super bass from Marty.
Chris seems to be able to change her voice to suit each song, just like
professional session singers do. Last time I said she sounded like Grace Slick and
this time she sounds exactly like Christine McVie, or Christine Perfect as we used to
know her in the days of Chicken Shack.
Excellent all round.
Cheers,
ROG. Thanks very much, ROG! Agree about the vocal, she reminds me of Christine McVie on this one also. Chicken Shack was a pretty good band back in the day! I always think about what I can tell somebody to get to the next level but you guys are already performing at such a high level. Don't know what to tell you except keep doing things the way you've been doing them. Great work here as always. Thanks for the support, very much appreciated VERY cool - bass is in the pocket, guitars are ace, the vocals are SWEEET.
As you're using EZDrummer I'd suggest swapping kick samples or EQing the one you have to take a little more click away.
Lovely lead tone - as always.
Excellent band. Thanks, Ray! I do pay special attention to the "click" at around 3K ever since you mentioned it to me a while back, even though I can't hear it myself unless I solo the kick and room into that region. And usually add a 6db cut there. Might have forgot on this one, I've made a note in my project file to check it when it's time to remix, thanks for pointing it out

Man ... What can I say that hasn't been said.
Nice guitar tone. Marty is quite the bass player too.
Yes.... Everything about this is excellent.
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.
