For Heavens Sake (2020, Christiane Spruit)
In my tunes in my tunes blue nights come crawling back home to me now and then in those times in those times I am holding myself upright for me to stay safe for heaven's sake
Bringing the blue into my room laying my heart down next to you your picture in the frame looks as if it's going to say all broken hearts must cry
Hurting you did hurt me too caught our love by the blade, instead avoiding the pain Like a cut like a cut that opens up again now and then grace for heaven’s sake
The first thing that struck me is how Chris's voice is developing with each successive song. So professional in her phrasing and the amount of emotion she pours into the lyrics.
Fabulous guitar work here as well - some of your very best, Dave. And Marty, doing exactly what a great bass player should do - always sympathetic to the track, always underpinning the excellent backing.
And the arrangement - so accomplished, so well thought out, maintaining interest from start to interrupted finish.
A very long and totally convincing intro shows you guys really are at the top of the game. I agree with ROG- Chris raises the bar on her vocals here; there`s more presence and emotion than ever. Nice layers on those guitars and that outro:whoa!! Its going to be unavoidable... you`ll be hearing "your best yet" many times.
Loved this Dave. Chris’s vocal was perfect. Loved your guitar work. Tone was so bright and crisp. I must add to Rogs comments on Marty’s bass lines. When I am looking for things to add to a song I mute all the tracks except the bass and drums. He has a great feel. This is a very cool song.

Did I say I liked it?

Thanks for mentioning the arrangement, that is something we spent quite a bit of time with. And thanks for mentioning the guitar too of course And yeah, Marty always delivers the perfect part for the song.
Dark and beautiful. The drum pulse is like a heartbeat that underpins the whole thing. The guitars are stunning. The vocals beautiful. The writing sublime. All of it so professionally done. Congratulations!
That is some solid modern blues at it's best. Great breaks and drum fills. The guitar swells on the first verse fills were inspired. Solid as a rock bass lines and I agree that the vocal may be the best yet from Chris. I thought the guitar volume levels were on the money and the overall mix sounded great. You three are on a tear. Great stuff and these observations come from a lifelong lover of the blues, Tom
Boy, that is some fine, fine stuff!!! The band just gels so well, and Chris' voice gets better and better.......tons of emotion in this vocal!! And Dave's soaring lead over Marty's sweet bass rounds out a great production!! Great work by all!! Take care. Greg
Really liked this a lot, all the attention to detail paid off. Terrific synergy. More than 'kept my attention,' this kept me thrilled throughout. Great work!

The dynamics really create the drama to support the narrative. Holes and parred down parts that create anticipation. There's the occasional touch of Chris Issacs guitar to go with the soaring lead licks. Nothing to not enjoy...the package is excellent.

Blue A. Cool intro! Guitar(s) is/are an ear opener. Very emotional, intimate vocals, almost gypsy music influenced. Very balance between achieving perfection and yet not being uptight. Liked it a lot!
Nothing not to like here! Good job folks. The guitar solo starting at 3:34 was especially tasty.
Appreciate that, Dan, thanks!

Hey Scott, I thought that tone worked well for the intro. Went back to my normal blues/rock tone for the solo though. Thanks for the listen/comments!
