I'm not a blues expert but there is something uniquely different in a good way about your chord progression on this one.
Keep the creativity going !


There are lots of things you can do to a standard I-IV-V chord progression to make it a little more interesting but still blues. Not that there is anything wrong with sticking to the basic three chords mind you wink

Thanks for the listen!

Solid blues, good message.

The pedantic in me can't help but mention that the "eye of the storm" is the place in the storm where the winds are relatively calm - not howling. wink

Good stuff! laugh


Yes, I suppose that's true. eek

Thanks, David! wink

Very strong and timely released tune. Good message and Ace vocals by Christiane. I like how vocals are mixed in too. Marty A+ bass, fits like a glove. Amazing guitar solo! Good package all around. Neat video, especially the magnifying glass part. Two spins, easy listen. Enjoyed it and thank you for sharing.

Appreciate that, thanks, Misha!

Dave's guitar - delicious. Bluesy.

A close-your-eyes-and-enjoy thing.
Again and again.

Excellent.

Lyrically this has a very powerful grip, really holding on in the eye of the storm. Musically, has "I Put A Spell On You" vibe and Christiane sounds quite like Annie Lennox. I enjoyed the bluesy guitar work and Marty's bass is at home here. Very good clear mix. Guaranteed high-quality collaboration.

Hey, Dave. I played this song for a bunch of friends at a jam the other night. The reactions were worth mentioning.

"Hoy $%&*! That is outstanding."
"Man, what a special voice."
"Yeah, she is incredible. I love the feeling she puts into it."
"Damn, he can play. Think you can get him to come to one of our jams?"

I proudly said, "And I got to play bass."

Response: "Hmmm. Didn't hear it. Play it again"

I did. He still didn't notice it. But that's what a good sideman does, right?

I love this song from idea to the final sustain.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Hi Dave, Christiane and Marty,

It's always a great joy to hear Chris singing. What a voice!!!
And Blues never gets bored no matter how many times you play the familiar theme.
But the way you all played it, is like honey. Not on my ears of course...

I enjoyed it a lot, Dave
Can't wait for another one

Dave, Christiane and Marty,
You guys are simply great together;seems like a while since we heard Christiane`s amazing voice here, and the song is a good vehicle for the feeling she brings; relaxed but intense at he same time.
Marty: we forumers can hear your bass and how it underpins the band; your friends will get it later,I`m sure.
Dave: spine-tingling good guitar.
Loved everything about this!

Robert

Meeting first Chris and then you are two of the best things that ever happened to me, for the music of course, but also the friendship wink

Your conversational guitar is, as always, top tier.

Chris' vocal is superb. Overall, a darn good song and production.

Cool tune Dave. Just about missed this one. Been catching most of your tunes on Facebook. Guitar and vocal so full of emotion. Marty's bass lines really hold the groove together. Well done.

Man do you guys Gel together well. Excellent sound. I knew this was a Dave and Marty tune right from the very first notes - you guys have a special sound together. Then I got the "full attitude" when Chris started singing - simply fantastic. Great write and excellent mix. You guys pushed this one right over the top!
