I’ve had this title sitting around for a while now. The time came to do something about it. So here’s a little rhumba blues… RealDrums in song: BluesRockSlowEv^4-a:Snare , b:Snare, HiHat RealDrums in song: BossaBrushesPerc^2-a,b:Congas, No Kit Royalty Free Loops Recorded in Logic Pro X Plug Ins : Nectar 2, Neutron 2, Ozone 8, Tonal Balance, Waves LinMB, Waves, L3-LL Multi Limiter, Scuffam Amps S-Gear, Waves Vocal Rider, Waves Bass Rider Vocals, Electric Guitar, Tom Adams https://soundcloud.com/tommyad/cold-front
https://tommyadamsmusic.com/track/2435619/cold-front Cold Front It seems a little cool in here And I know that look There’s no mystery to it anymore I can read you like a book Don’t you go and cry to me Don’t sing me your sad song better grab another blanket baby There’s a cold front coming on You haven’t said a word all day Itching for a fight Then off to bed without a word Or a kiss goodnight Made sure the house was closed up tight Then all the sudden you’re gone better grab another blanket baby There’s a cold front coming on ©2020 Thomas Adams

Hey Tommy. What a powerful tune. Sounds a touch like the Eagles.
I really enjoyed this. Rob4580

Another good one

Tom ...
You always post some of the best cuts on the forum.
Sounds like you and I knew the same woman some years ago! Think I might have dated her when I lived in San Antonio! I agree with the previous comments about the eagles and Santana. I get the feel of Glenn Fry sat in with Carlos Santana's band. I'd pay to see that concert! And I'd pay to hear you in concert, too!
This song is so cool but yet hot - at the same time. Love your Tele licks and the raw passion and power in your vocal. Yeah ... sweet!
Best to you. Take care ...
Alan

I really enjoyed this. Rob4580 Thanks much Rob! It’s interesting to me to hear what influences people hear in these songs. They are almost always unintentional but subconsciously show up in the final product. There is little doubt that I am a huge fan of the Eagles, Tom

Perfect execution of the style, and a fine performance, too!
Really liked the "grab a blanket" and "cold front" imagery!
Great work!

Hi tommyad,
The lead guitar is well done and the sound is excellent. The tone of the voice is excellent. I also appreciated the arrangement with the ozone products. I know less about waves products but which give very good results on your voice. Well done.
Kindly regards
Take care of yourself

Tom,
I like the edge your lyrics, vocal and especially lead guitar gives to the latin beat.
Very good!

GREAT SONG! I got the Santana vibe also. Super chops man. Loved the vocal, mix, and groove.
The bumper sticker said "I'm a veterinarian, therefore I can drive like an animal".
Suddenly I realized how many proctologists are on the road.

Cap’n, I have always liked the feel of the rhumba groove. Electric blues has a history of using this beat. Thanks for the nice comments,Tom

Hi, Tommy. Does is seem like your guitar plays itself when you wrap your fingers around its neck? You have trained it so well. Man, you have great tone and taste. The vocal is top-notch also. I like the sultry feel of this, and you present it so well. I have pages of titles of songs not yet written.

Tom...
WHOA! LOVE that opening!! Hot playing...
Great sound throughout. Very cool organ! An infectious rhythm in those guitars. Hot solo.
Good write.
"You haven’t said a word all day
Itching for a fight
Then off to bed without a word
Or a kiss goodnight"
...excellent.
Great mix (as always). A great listen. Hot.

Hi, Tommy !
One of your absolute best
for sure ! Wonderful playing
and singing exactly as I
knew it would before listening !
The cold front is here now
and I don´t mind because
I need to burn some branches
from trees taken down last summer !
...and as my barn is snowclad
the fire won´t burn it down when
you do it during high winter !
I enjoyed this tune truly much !
Stay Safe and Take Care, Tom !
Cheers
Dani
