I think this was the first song I posted here. Around 2013.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have us another blues tune!

Gruve, my friend, good to hear from you again! I was surely here when you posted this in 2013, but it sounds new all over again. I just love the way you belt out your vocals! You have such a distinctive voice. And a great voice it is.

You know its hard to review your songs, because as soon as they finish, another one starts and I get sucked into THAT song, over and over until I never get back to the original song. SO here I sit, four songs in. I remember I really liked the first one. And the second one. And the third one. Dang, I like 'em all. Something in all of your songs that speaks to me.

Knock it off, I got stuff to do. I can't sit here all day listening to music.

But you make me want to.

Well, thanks for reposting, Gruverider. Love that slide. Good feeling blues shuffle, and well sung.


Enjoy whatever happens!

I'm a blues guy at heart.

This one fits nicely into that nitche.

Never heard it first time around but this time it sounds great.

A bit of SRV in that voice.

Nice one!

Gruverider,

I wasn’t on the board in 2013, so this is a first listen for me. And this is a mighty fine blues number; fine mix and production from first to last. Totally smoking guitars—both of them—working so well together. Great vocal as well. Really slick stuff!

My best to you,

Deej

Pat, generosity should be your middle name. I've always appreciated your comments. You make a man want to dig deeper and try harder.

Thank you for that!

It's 12 bar blues - with a slide guitar! And singing!

The lyrics include the words "woman" and "whiskey".

Excellent. laugh

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

Laurence ...

Man, so great to hear you again. It's been a while!
-
I didn't hear this when you first posted it, to best of my severely-impaired memory. Sure am glad I clicked onto it this time.

And that is one rowdy, high-powered Blues! You have the perfect voice for it. The b/g tracks are busy and boisterous but, somehow, don't intrude on everything else. That's some real fine mixing and track choices. What a treat! Totally enjoyed it!!!

Best to you. Take care ...

Alan

Thank you to everyone for taking time to listen and for the generous comments!


Robertkc, I looked up the RTs and they are actually from September 2012. That would make them from the 2011 BIAB! Wow!
