That was tasty in so many ways.
Nice mix. I like so may things about this..... guitar tone, selection of the instruments, simplicity of the lyrics, and that it's kind of a blues tune. Nice job on the vox too. Hi Herb, Thanks for looking in - always pleased to hear your thoughts. Many thanks for the positive comments. Cheers, ROG.

Rog
A really smooth sounding bluesy tune - excellent guitars and complimentary band. Nice vocal and overall production.
Peter Hi Peter, Many thanks for the review and the kind comments. Cheers, ROG.

Love that sweet guitar, super tone and chops.
I really liked everything about this one, the backing tracks, vocals, lyrics, mix etc.
You have raised the bar quite high with this one.
IMHO your best to date. Hi Mario, You're very kind with all the positive comments - I'd hoped this might be one which would appeal to you. The guitar was the Tele again and this was the first outing for my five-string fretless which is actually the only new guitar I've bought in the last forty years! Many thanks for the listen and review. Stay safe, ROG.

ROG & Eddie, the first thing that struck me was the big sound of the recording. The guitars sound great and the BGV are very cool. Eddie delivers a good blues lyric with conviction and smoothness. I love blues and I love this, Tom

This is an irresistibly listenable
song. If I were in my car driving somewhere I would search for it on the radio. The quality of the vocalist's voice reminds me of Elliot Lurie of the band 'Looking Glass' singing his 1972 monster hit , 'Brandy'.

Nice! I can hear the Robert Cray influence in there, I've listened to a lot of his music over the years, seen him a couple of times too.
Guitar is perfect, vocals sound great too.
Really well done, enjoyed! Hi Dave, Yes, I've been a Cray fan for years, but never been lucky enough see him live. Many thanks for looking in - much appreciated. Cheers, ROG.

That's a really good pop groove you've got happening in the verses Rog! The vocals and melody are catchy! That horn is an excellent choice! Guitars are beautiful! Top shelf work for sure! T Hi Torrey, Many thanks for all the positive comments. Cheers, ROG.

Your guitar parts drive this song. So good.
I like the minimalist lyrics and the all around vocal sound.

Really cool. personally I'd have preferred a longer guitar solo that the sax part but that's just pp.
The drum sounds a little distant - as in the next room.
Well done. Hi Ray, I love it when people ask for a longer guitar solo - I'm usually worried that I'll go on too long! Many thanks for the listen and review. Cheers, ROG.

Enjoyed the melancholy of the story.
Familiar sounding but tasty chord progression.
Good vocals and the backing vocals add a new dimension.
The sax is a great choice and together with the beautiful sounding guitars create very nice band.
Janne
Hi Janne, Eddie takes credit for the storyline and lead vocal, but the BVs are mine. Thanks for all the positive comments and I'm pleased that you enjoyed it. Cheers, ROG.

ROG & Eddie ...
This is a very sophisticated Blues with slight Pop and Latin elements. It has just enough Latin influence I could hear Santana taking a run on this one as he fronted Cray's band. Well conceived and mixed. Everything sits just right in the mix. This is such a cool tune! A tip of the hat to both of you. A wonderful collab!
Wishing both of you a wonderful 2021.
Alan & Di Hi Alan, I always like to hear your views old friend and many thanks for looking in on this one. Pleased you liked the mix because your mixes are always spot-on. "Sophisticated Blues" - that's very kind - I can easily live with that! The best to you and Di. Take care and stay safe. ROG.

We can definitely hear the JJ Cale and Robert Cray influence - nice. And from a couple of folks who have, indeed, listened to them at length. The smooth lead and background vocals nail the vibe! The guitars are simply standout and, man, that sax is tremendous. The laid back groove had Janice swaying in the chair ... always a sign of a great groove!  Ya'll done good! J&B Hi there J&B, You're very kind with all the nice comments. Always appreciate you looking in and listening. As Eddie mentioned, Janice swaying is more than we could ask for! Many thanks, you two. ROG.
