Boy when you take the lead do you give me a Chris Rea vibe. He is one of my favorite artists. Excellent lyric. Loved the melody in the guitar break. Marty's bass glued the song together. Well done... Cool video

Nice groove and mix! Cool back track and guitar work!
Brad Thanks for stopping by, Brad! Dave
Some really lovely melodic playing, a good evocative vocal and Marty laying down an excellent bass.
Really good work all round. Great song.
Peter Appreciate that, Peter!

Dave, that is some great playing with a perfect tone dialed in. Really good expressive vocal. Marty’s bass is in the pocket and the whole production is up to your usual high standards. Well crafted lyrics, Tom Hey Tom, I'm still using S-Gear here, been using it ever since you turned me onto it a few years back. Thanks! You guys are a great team.
To me your vocals have a vibe similar to Stephen Stills in his later works.
A sad story but such is life sometimes. We have fun working on these songs together, that's the key I think. Thanks for giving our song a listen and for your feedback, very much appreciated!

Hey guys,
Really great song!
Excellent groove, playing and vocals with a real Santana vibe!
Nice! Wasn't shooting for Santana, but, I'll take it!  Thanks, David. loved the 'mood' of this song. nice lyrics.
that clean guitar tone you have on one side of the stereo image i really liked.
for some reason i hear the main lead gtr breaks 'doubled'.
but thats just me.
happiness.
om
Appreciate the listen and comments, om, thanks!

Perfect example of a blues song: sad story with lost love and whiskey, crying guitar (probably your best performance I've heard), crooning voice. And all that is packed in an excellent arrangement and clean mix.

I think this is my new favorite of yours, great lyrics, great vocals, well sung, well produced.
Great work from all involved! Wow, thanks so much! First of all, I want to make clear that this song is NOT autobiographical! Yep, we all believe you  haha! So you say this song isn't about you and yet I would bet with a delivery like that you almost feel like it did. Talk about convincing!
To me, this is one of those songs that gives the listener an experience that makes them thankful it didn't actually happen...but leaves you with the memory of something that never actually was.
Of course everything else is on the highest bar, I expect that from your work.
Great song. It left me with the feeling of loss, then brought me the feeling of gratefulness for what I have. Thank you for creating that for me! Thanks very much for stopping by, Aaron, and great to see you here! You have been missed. Would love to hear a new song from you one of these days!

Good one, Dave, on your vocals and your guitar! Janice said that she could feel the guy’s heartache and regret crying out from your guitar.
The lyric has really good imagery even before seeing the fine video of the song.
Great mix all the way around.
And that bass man ... yeah!
Enjoyed it!

Dave / Marty,
As usual your collaborations are excellent. You guys make some great music.
Dave - love when you sing. You have a great blues voice.
Bob Really appreciate that, Bob! The Blue Attitude band, this should be on the radio today!
This is pro all the way.
Love that groove!
Outstanding vocal and guitar, as usual.
The bass is in the pocket, as usual.
The mix is perfect, as usual.
I think this is your best one yet!
Well, maybe the best one with me doing the vocal Thanks, Mario! Spot on everything - the weary vocal, the bluesy guitar... it all works. Nice job on this!  I thought for sure you would give me grief for using so many double negatives in the lyric  Thanks, David!

Your vocal is perfect for this. Your performance is convincing as if you had actually lived it.
Your guitar work is exceptional as is Marty's bass. Loved the solo!

Hi Dave,
A beautiful song and as been said before I heard JJ Cale right away. Beautiful vocals, smoky and mysterious in a way.
I do like your voice. You have to sing more in your songs, or maybe a duett with Chris?
In Dutch I would call it "een heerlijk lied", but in English you have to say lovely. Like our words more in this case...
And of course I want to know which part in it isn't autobiographical?
Have a nice day,
Hans

Hi Hans, Well, I have a very limited range, and don't have the ability to belt out a song like a real singer, such as yourself, can. So, I can sing the laid back tunes but that's about it As far as which part isn't autobiographical, I was a party guy just like the guy in the song, more than 40 years ago mind you, but that was when I was still single Getting married and having a daughter changed all that. Thanks for the nice review!

Dave...you and Marty are the Kings of the blues as far as I'm concerned...IMHO this is one of your best...from the tightness of the performances to the quality of the mix you've hit the nail right on the head! Great job guys!
