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

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 ...

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 smile

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.

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 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 smile 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!

Thanks so much guys, awesome comments! smile

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.

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.

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.

Appreciate that, Rob, thanks!

Always great to read comments like that from a fellow guitarist, thanks, Peter! wink

Thanks so much, Tom!

Thanks jpt*3!

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!

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 smile

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.
