Your playing was excellent. but I must comment on the mix of this song. It just blew me away. Loved the groove. The drums and bass created such a cool pocket. Super vocal and harmonies. Loved the call back of the guitar on the right side.

Infectious rhythm here bloc-head.
I was thinking of Stevie Ray Vaughan's "Superstitions" as I listened.

Thanks Vic, I have a killer cover of "Superstition" in the can, but I dare not post it here (hiss).

I like the way the drums build in the intro. The vocals are well constructed; I think they would be even more dynamic if recorded with a live group backing . Interesting lyric/theme. Well done.

bloc-head,
This is great stuff!! That guitar in the intro is so captivating! Everything here is setting in the sweet spot in the mix! Your vocals are pro all the way! Loved the guitar solo! All the little background vocal touches are executed with precision! Very good music! Thanks, Torrey I'm flattered, and appreciative... Your music blows me away... For real.

Hi Bloc-head,
This is a very catchy, funky song. Swinging song and very well performed.
It reminded me of 'Superstitious' from Stevie Wonder, although you didn't use that electric piano and other stuff.
I agree with others about the missing of the lyrics and the BiaB instruments. Don't you have a copy on BiaB. All instruments used are there (except your own instruments of course).
But I'm impressed by the quality of this song. Well done!
Hans

Janice immediately said, "Santana!" Yeah.
No need to parse it all out ... fine vocals, solos, Biab choices and mix.
It's all there and everything is hittin' the note.
Enjoyed it!

Funky build of an intro. Vocals are good, vocoder-ish harmonies are cool.
Guitar licks are ear-catching, and you did an excellent job weaving of all those bits into a sonic tapestry.
I like this one a lot! Thank you for the good ears & words... you are kind & generous, and appreciated.

Yes, a live group backing, is preferred, but my cluttered little studio is to small for my current band... Hi Bloc-head,
This is a very catchy, funky song. Swinging song and very well performed.

Hans Thanks Hans... sorry for my lack of documentation, this is a pretty old production, and my memory is fading... Janice immediately said, "Santana!" Yeah.
No need to parse it all out ... fine vocals, solos, Biab choices and mix.

Enjoyed it!
J&B Wow, great complement, I'm a big fan of Carlos Santana... I love your music.
