Back to the blues for this one: Blue Guitar The Band:2733:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm BluesSlow128Mike Sw 065 2734:Organ, Rhythm BluesSlow128Mike Sw 065 Marty Straub: Bass Dave Bell: Guitars and Vocal I used EZDrummer2 for the drums Mixed in Reaper, mastered with Ozone9 Blue Guitar (2021, Dave Bell and Marty Straub)When you're feeling sad, oh so blue, and there's nothing, that you can do. It seems the walls, sometimes, are closing in on you. Here's what I'll do. I'll play a song for you, on my blue guitar.
When you lose your way, down and out And there's nothing, only doubt you need a hand to grab, to pull you through. Here's what I'll do ....
Music can show you the way It can lift you up when sky's seem gray no matter how you feel, music, it can heal Music can show you the way All comments welcome!Edit: A few people mentioned the vocal was too low so I bumped it up and uploaded a new mix. Of course Marty and Chris have been telling me all along that it should be louder It's very difficult for me to mix my own vocal, I'm very new to singing and I'm not used to hearing myself sing

That "blue guitar" sure played some tasty licks on that track.
Really nice work on guitar bass & vocals. A very enjoyable blues tune (liked the change in the bridge).
Excellent (no surprise there).

Great guitar opening.
This is one of the best and hottest guitar playing on your songs.
Vocal fits perfectly with the song.

Dave, this is another proof of your fine guitar abilities - very, very nice ! Your solo playing in this one sure reminds me a lot of Gary Moore. Great great tone, man ! IMO you could have brought your vox a bit to the front - don't be shy Marty, you seem to have become the universsal bass man on this forum. And you know what: You deserve it! I DO LIKE YOUR STYLE. Great collab, all the best guys, Stefan

Ah, Dave, you know I'm a big fan of the songs you write and the guitar you mastered, but your voice is really starting to shine a brighter spotlight on all the talent you share. I've said this before, but all of the songs YOU sing seem to play over and over again in my head long after listening to them. Thanks for letting me be a part of it.

xxx WARNING! Great compliments ahead xxx
Hi Dave and Marty,
A great Blues song! In every perspective! In all these posts above mine I read the same and no wonder. As with most of your songs this one has such a pleasant vibe that brings me in a very, very good mood (I don't go into details) while I listen to it over and over again. That is what this song does to me. But beside the fantasic ban, Marty and his bass and your beautiful leadguitar, I want to say one or two thing about your vocals; They are really very good. smokey, mysterious and nicely dark. You said you like my voice, well I like your too! I have a little hesitation about my second point, but I do say it; I wished them a bit louder in the mix. Especially at the start of the singing.
On a scale of 1 to 10, you and Marty earn at least 15 points, so hats off!
Hans

Super stuff Dave! That soft vocal is perfect for this minor chord based blues tune! This is masterfully put together! The searing tone of that axe is sweet! Marty is holding down the bottom is excellent fashion(again)! GREAT song! Thanks, Torrey

Hi Dave,
This is my kinda music:
Song - good - reminds me a little of "I'll Play The Blues For You"
Lead Guitar excellent - great tone and lovely playing.
Vocals - yes suitably growly tone but too low in the mix. I could barely make out any lyrics except in a few places. The vocalist is the key to any song - I would have the vocals at the same level as the lead guitar.
Mix and backing instruments - excellent.
I'd like to hear a remix (just a tweak in Reaper) and more of this type of music.
Best Regards Nigel

Hi Dave,
I just took a listen to the remix. Yes vocals are now at a much better level.
The first verse vocals are still a touch low but in Verse Two and the First Chorus they are now at a perfect level.
Excellent work - more Blues please.
Best Regards Nigel

Music is truly a healer, listening, playing or writing songs - works in many ways. This song delivers that message very well, in the lyrics, in the playing, in the vocals. Nice warm arrangement, clear mix and relaxed guitar playing. Enjoyed the mood.
