That opening is nice--the piano and the guitar, wow! Eddie vocal is spot on. The RT sax fits right in with your guitar.

Very enjoyable blues, sad story but with a friend who doesn't complain. I like the piano and its nice chord inversions. The sax solo fits very well. Very good vocals. And everything is mixed in an ear pleasing way.

Really top notch blues on display here, doesn't get any better. You surprised me with the sax solo, was expecting guitar, but it fits the song perfectly.

Guitar sounds great, love the intro and fills with the wha, and Eddie does a fine job on the vocal.

Good to see you back with a new one ROG, you have been missed!

Many thanks, Dave, much appreciated.

Eddy's vox are right on time too. Nice work on the instruments as well, on your part.

Thanks for the listen and review, Herb.

Much appreciated, Marty. The blues is probably where I feel most comfortable.

There's a little sibilance on the vocal that could be addressed.
The hihat's a little loud but not aggressively so. The drums seem almost mono.
Your lead work is cool - I enjoyed the wah particularly.
A ballad for the bottle always reminds me of Tom Waites' classic quote "I'd rather a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy."

Hi Ray, thanks for looking in on this one.

Seriously Rog + Eddie = masterpiece!

I love the blues and you two knocked it out of the park. Eddie's vocal is perfect. That wah blues guitar is perfect and that sax lead was icing on the cake.

Outstanding mix.

Loved it.

Thanks Mario, you're very kind. Always value your opinion.

Thanks, Janne. Pleased that you liked the chords - I tried to get away from the traditional 12 bar.
