Excellent guitar player and super tone. Incredible vocal and harmonies. Piano and backtrack were super. Tempo change was very cool. Well done.

Nigel,
Nice bluesy start with some tasty guitar!
You vocalist has done an excellent job here, especially with the background parts!
Clever use of ambient background noise during the transition to the uptempo part!
Overall, you have done a very good job with your mix and final production giving the listener a professional sounding experience!
Thanks. Torrey

Wow, excellent piano and, man, you surround yourself with equal talent, Nigel. Outstanding mix and I live the song. Yeah, let them talk --they can only say amazing things about this. You, Mike and Susan really give them something to talk about for sure.

Great blues guitar, great vocalist, gospel choir, and then country picking guitar. (Not to ignore the piano, of course). Tasty stuff! What's not to like? Yea!

Was that a real choir you recorded? Loved it.

WOW what a fantastic song.
Great blues and gospel music both done in an outstanding mix with some outstanding musicians.
Loved it.

Man, at the energy. MOVIN' And those pipes. My goodness, this lady can wail.
Great band with that full on gospely thing going. Loved the choir and arrangement. The ending kinda fizzled a bit...a long, slow fade might be in order.
I'm well on board with the lyric, too. Hugely enjoyed.

Hi Torrey,
Thanks for all your wonderful comments.
The BV's are done by a real choir and that choir also does all the background talking and hand claps etc.

Great lyrics, vocals and instruments. So well mixed that at times I couldn't tell whether I was listening to a recording or hearing it a live setting.
My music may not set the world on fire but if it causes a glow in just one person's heart, it has all been worthwhile
