Yep another lovely blues performance - with great all round performances.
As usual some wonderful guitar playing, excellent bass and Chris sound fantastic.
A great all round group production (even liked the organ player - whose name escaped me).
Peter
Thanks, Peter! Yes, there are a few really good BIAB B3 tracks to chose from, I get a lot of mileage out of them.

Hi Team,
Fabulous.
First up, I DO like Chris's voice and she's flying in this one.
Marty's bass is always exactly right for the style and mood of the song
and this line really underpins the arrangement SO well.
And Dave - man, you were obviously born to play the blues.
Loved the whole thing. Thanks, ROG, appreciate that! Some of your best guitar work, a more energetic Robert Cray to my ears. Liked the lyrics and your singer, of course, is gold. Well done! "more energetic Robert Cray", I'll take that!  I'm actually a fan of his, especially his older stuff. Thanks!

Very cool tune Dave and Chris. Martys bass line gave the song the old bar vibe. Took me back to my earlier years. Super vocal and as such a cool tone on your guitar. Smooth with a little touch of nasty. Well done.... “Smooth with a little touch of nasty”, I like that! Thanks, Scott

What a wild guitar playing, nice funky rhythm and great riffing. The whole band really works, funk always works for me  Nice contrast in the lyrics, being free and then down by the sea. High quality singing and mixing once again. Janne

"forget about the weather we are drifting, we are feathers we are rain and we are sunshine not matter what we'll find soon we'll be down we're on a high pass" Love that! This is great. The write and arrangement are tops. Chris's vocals are soul filled and have the perfect amount of edge to them. Dave's guitar is soaring...Clapton like. And, that bass guy got all funky on us! Cool. Janice was scat singing the bass line We most enjoyed it and the vid scenery was great. J&B I can hear Janice doing that scat thing in my head. Sound great! Thanks you two Hi Dave, Chris and Marty,
That's a cool Blues you made here! It's always a pleasure listening to your songs and this one is no exeption at all.
I thought you told us Chris will be on a vacation, so I had accepted that this would mean no songs from your hand for a long time...
But luckily that is not the case! This is a Blues mixed with soul I would say. I can agree with what J&B say about the 'soul filled' voice of Chris.
I liked that solo from the leadguitar. Very well done. Again!
Hans Hi Hans, Yes, she was gone for almost three weeks. But I had a few tracks backed up for her to listen to when she got back, doesn't take her long when she is on a roll, same with Marty. Thanks! Dave, your band sounds awesome! Everything here is really good! Your guitars are always at the top level tone and playing! Marty's bass sounds so good! I can never compliment Chris's vocals enough...they are always spot on! Great!! T Means a lot coming from you, thanks, Torrey!

Dave, I can't tell you how much fun it is to work on these with you and Chris. Man, her voice is soooo engaging, then your guitar comes in with its own sweet voice, eventually blending together in such great music. Your ability at the mixing board is outstanding, and I'm happy to be learning what I can. Thanks, and whatever you do don't fire the bass player.

The production on this one is a real stand-out - you guys keep raising the bar!
Excellent!
Bob Just having fun, Bob Thanks! Great track. Outstanding guitar playing. Loved the solo. Bass was in the groove. Great vocals and lyrics. The band was good too. Good one to everyone. Thanks jpt*3 What a wild guitar playing, nice funky rhythm and great riffing. The whole band really works, funk always works for me Nice contrast in the lyrics, being free and then down by the sea.

First of all, that is some butt-kicking guitar work!
Just bought some new speakers, and Marty's bass is shining through. Great work!
Of course, Chris's voice sounds most excellent.
This is one tight and grooving song! Enjoyed it immensely.

Hey Marty, It's been lots of fun having you onboard, the chance of you getting fired is slim

Reminds me of Maddy Bell on the Suicide Sal LP. Blues with some swing.
The organ was a fine choice for the band's augmentation.
The kick drum, well you know what I'd say..it only seems that way occasionally when it pokes out between the otehr instruments.
Stinging solo...bass is well funky!
Cheers

A really great listen,Tom \\ I agree with Tom. Everything that I was going to say already has been said so I will end with this, if you put a CD out with songs like this one it I will be the first in line to purchase it! Alligator Records don't have music this good!
OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?
