HA! I like it.

The song was surprisingly upbeat sounding (for a Blues number). The horns are cool. Nice guitar work. A strong vocal.

It seem to go by quickly. So I cued it up again...

I think Floyd's right.....quite an upbeat blues tune.....not feeling so bad about feeling bad! Fun and catchy number!! Some sweet guitar licks from Peter!! Nice stuff guys! Take care. Greg


Thanks Greg.

Peter & Leon,

Very Pop!
I like your blues songs.
But I also like your song like this that hasn't blue notes or blues progressions.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Peter and Leon ...

I always love it when a set of RTs appear to be an odd mix but a listen proves they're a great combination. Those kind of surprises put a smile on my face ... I'm always messing around with blended-genre tracks. Nicely done! Leon's vocals are spot on and peter never disappoints when he has six strings with which to work a little bit of his magic.

Wishing you both well and please be safe.

Great lines (of many).

And nicely delivered by Leon and that guy who
sings a little.

Like Dave we found the outro to be cool and creative (I’m pretty sure we’ve heard that guitar guy before and we do like his dueling playing).

It's all capped off with a great band (love the horns) and a mix that makes it all
sound like it was happening in the same room. Love the soundstage.

Another fine collab y’all!

Too kind, appreciate all the comments, and look forward to our next collaboration.

Vocal clear and strong.

Hi Peter,

It's so 'optimistic to make that statement 'everyone can get the blues''.
Sadly enough it is as true as a cow (that's what we say in my country).
You made a very nice and also fun song on that topic.
The trumpets in your song gave me an association with the Beatles, Sergeant Pepper.

Well done. It was an enjoyable listen!
