Dave
Some stellar melodic playing on this and Marty & your Rhythm guitars propel the song forward in sync with the lyric.
Nicely done all round and the mix sounds good.
Catchy chorus.
Peter Thanks, Peter! Y'all can really cook in minor. I approve of your choices.  Great fun listens. Minor keys always call to me, much more so than major. Exception is blues, I like major and minor equally well for I-IV-V stuff. Thanks, Tangmo! Excellent tune Dave. Super vocal and guitar work was awesome. Loved Marty's bass lines. Really liked the way you mixed this tune. Separation of the instruments was really cool. Just pumped my monitors. Thanks, Scott!

This cut captures the broad presence of rock; meaning, no matter where you got off the ship anywhere in the world at any time, you'd likely hear this song, playing away.

Nice stereo imaging! Good groove, easygoing vocal. Bass moves things along. Mellow mix - smooth! Cool solo, subtle harmony at the end. Well done! Good ears picking out that harmony  Thanks, David! A great driving beat welcomes this song to our ears.
Nice job on all parts. A lot of team work was obviously involved.
Great job, team. Thanks for stopping by, Trev, I appreciate it! Hi BlueAttitude,
It is a very beautiful composition that you offer us on this site. The singer's deep voice goes wonderfully well with the musical arrangement. It is very well done and very pleasant.
Kindly regard
Derochette

We like to head out riding county dirt roads and trying to get lost (gotta not look at google maps ) So this tune had Janice immediately saying the whole vibe made her want us to hit the road. So here goes the redundant stuff: the vocal/bass/guitar performances are perfecto for the write and as good ole Gregg used to say, "everybody is hittin' the note!" Good work with the organ. Sounds like something you'd hear with Joe. Hard to get that vibe from those RT's but you did it well with using both variations. We enjoyed the listens! Excellent mix. J&B For me Reese with Joe, and before with Stevie, is the ultimate B3 player. I've seen him perform with both those guys. Bass, Drums, B3, Guitar ... perfect band! Thanks, guys! Dave & Marty
Sounds to me like L.Cohen on serious steroids. Fun theme and great drive. Vocals A+! Spectacular guitar lines. Bass is perfect.
I did not hear prior version, but mix is excellent to my ears. Really like this one. Thank you for sharing.
Misha.
Mix is pretty similar, mostly brought the drums up a hair. Thanks for the comment on the vocal, singing is very new to me and I don't have much confidence. "L.Cohen on serious steroids", LOL! Another good one, guys. Nice vocal, Dave and great playing by you and Marty. The organ is a really nice touch.
Regards,
Leon Thanks, Leon! If this wasn't classic blues rock I reckon the main riff'd be ace for power pop. Nice tweaking of the organ. I can hear the Cohenness...song wise it'd fit his I'm Your Man album tone wise it's another beautiful best. The vocal phrasing and chords remind me of a great power pop band you'd not have encountered: https://youtu.be/FRazvQ8Pai0EXCELLENT! Thanks very much, Ray! You are right, never heard of that band but I like them, good energy. And yes, similar song, just more pop.

Love that vocal, Dave. I remember when you were JUST (ha) a guitar player. Very moving song, man. Thanks for letting me be a part of it. I thoroughly enjoy gassing up this buggy and groovin' along the happy highway. Whoa! Lonely Nights started right after this one. Dang, you were NEVER "just a guitar player". That opening phrase is outstanding.

Let's roll!!!
A rock'n toe tapper with some excellent guitar work.
Nice work everyone.
moto Thanks, Captain! Dave & Marty,
A great groove you have going here- love those twin rhythm guitars and the strong bass line- it really puts me in the mood to get out there.
Vocals are relaxed and sitting nicely in the mix.
Excellent travelling music!
Robert Thanks, Robert! I see you have a new one up, heading over shortly to give it a spin. That's a sweet song. Nice....
Loved the groove and really tasty solo and great tone. Always nice to get comments like that from a guitarist I respect, thanks, Herb! Nice y'all! Some strong rockin' blues. Well played, well sung and well mixed! Thanks, David, great to see you back! Another BA winner! Good stuff, gentleman! Thanks for the listen/comments TM! This cut captures the broad presence of rock; meaning, no matter where you got off the ship anywhere in the world at any time, you'd likely hear this song, playing away. Well, I can pretty much guarantee that you would never hear *this* song no matter where you got off the ship Would be nice though! Thanks, Ed. Hi Dave and Marty,
Rock-on boys, this is fabulous.
Great song and stellar performances all round.
You do this stuff SO well.
ROG. Appreciate that, thanks ROG! Great track. Well recorded. Good driving (pun intended) rhythm. Good job everyone. Thanks jpt*3! Love that vocal, Dave. I remember when you were JUST (ha) a guitar player. Very moving song, man. Thanks for letting me be a part of it. I thoroughly enjoy gassing up this buggy and groovin' along the happy highway. Whoa! Lonely Nights started right after this one. Dang, you were NEVER "just a guitar player". That opening phrase is outstanding. Marty, for me it's about both the music and the friendship, and I thank you for both

Hi Dave and Marty,  Guys, this is outstanding, however I look at it. Marty, I can hear the bass so easily and clearly but it never overshadows the mix. This is exactly the sort of sound that I chase but never manage to achieve in my own mixes. Awesome stuff! Dave, your guitar playing is first-first-class and your vocals fit this genre really, really comfortably. As always, the minute I heard your mix starting to play, my skin turned an envy-green color. You get SUCH a good sound with everything you do. All the best, Noel

The guitar work really stands out, both the rhythm and the lead. The rhythm guitar moves the song with a simmering energy complemented by Marty's pulsing bass. That lead solo was pro all the way. Loved it.

Noel Thanks very much, Noel, I really appreciate that! As far as the mixes go I think you are being too hard on yourself, your mixes always sound good to me The guitar work really stands out, both the rhythm and the lead. The rhythm guitar moves the song with a simmering energy complemented by Marty's pulsing bass. That lead solo was pro all the way. Loved it. I'm always happy when I can come up with a cool, song specific rhythm part instead of just generic strumming, so thanks for picking up on that! Hi David and Marty great job love the guitar work!! and the bass great grove Marty sweet drums makes me want to get ezdrummer perfect mix well done thanks Eric EZDrummer is a great tool, I love it. Wait for it to go on sale though. Thanks, Eric! I like all of your stuff and this track is no exception.

First of all, what a great hook/title. Makes me think of my two fav cars I owned long ago and far away. And how much I used to enjoy driving them. Sweet guitar and the mix sounds good on my speakers. Josie
