Ha! laugh

Blues is a favorite, and you're expressive and fun singer to listen to.

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

Hi Marty,

This Blues is a very nice one! I loved that baseline in it. I saw others wrote about it as well.
Your vocals also were as if you enjoyed every word of these lyrics. They really passed this feeling on to me.
I could see it started with my right toe going up and down. Then both feet followed, so it was a bit overwhelming...
I haven't heard disturbing sibilance, but that could be my ears.

All summarized; a very enjoyable song!

Nicely done - I liked the bluesy vibe on it, and thought your vocals did justice to the instrumentation. Nicely catchy, and the guitar solo fit nicely in there as well. Overall a solid tune - thanks for sharing!


Cheers,
Deryk

I am digging you lyrics, especially this line" "I'm busy takin' out this plank in my eye."

Convincing vocal performance. Love the addition of the harmonica.

Slinky groove.

Hello BabuMusic,

Beautiful atmosphere of blues. All the ingredients are there and your voice lends itself wonderfully. The guitar solo and the harmonica are excellent.Sympathetic the outro. Well done.

My best to you,

Thanks, Deej. Solos are the hardest part with BiaB. Sometimes they come out amazingly perfect, but usually I have to spend hours getting them ok.

Thanks, jpt3!!!

It's not all the time either - just sometimes. I get the feeling you may have attenuated some of them already or used a de-esser but some escaped.
The Sea of Blues is green with envy.


Hey, old man! I was hoping you'd notice I cleaned up some of the sibilance using many methods I learned from you. There are sssso many Ss in the Sea Of Blues. Thanks for noticing. I think that would mean your ears are really really good like a young man's would be.

Everything more than just cool with this blues song. Your vocal fits it like a glove. Enjoyed it so much...

Take care,

Thanks you, Stefan. Wish my videos could be one one hundredth as good as yours. You are a master, sir. Take care!!

This morning a Sinatra tune "Learning the Blues" came on...
Put me in the mind of your song...
Definitely, the guitars sound right out of that era.
Your vocals sound just as cool...

Thanks for posting, I enjoyed the listen!


Stuck in the 50s. haha Could be worse. Thanks, Bawb. Man, that's the first time anyone ever suggested a connection to me at the King of the Rat Pack. Stuck in the 50s could be a good song title.


Enjoy whatever happens!

We would not change a thing. The bridge does what a bridge is supposed to do.
Nothing wrong with an upfront vocal in the blues. This ain't heavy rock smile
And when the vocal, like this one, is soulful and passionate all the more reason to let
it sit where it does.

We love the lyric, the aforementioned vocal and your bass. And we are shuffle nuts!

Gotta mention that you made great use of that solo RT -- sounds like y'all have played
together for a while.

The vid was a cool addition. Where do you find such wonderful stock photos? smile smile

Most enjoyable!

Thanks, Ezekiel. You noticed the bible reference. Don't try to take out the splinter from your friend's eye until you remove the plank for your own, right? Yeah, this guy's drowning.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Thanks, Dero! Took me awhile to find that old clip I had of waves crashing and a seagull squealing, but I like it there, too.

A toe-tapper!!! I love the Blues, and this is skilfully done, so it doesn't sound just like "yet another Blues", haha. Your voice is even Elvis-y in parts, and - as someone said above - you certainly had fun singing this! Wonderfully, deliberately self-indulgent in the sadness of the Blues ... love it! Nice "sea effect" at the end, too - made me smile :-)

Thanks, Greg! Yeah those solos are the hardest to coax out of the program. I often spend more time with them than the whole rest of the tune. Wish I could get Dave to do them all. hehe
