Hi Elliott,

Great blues with some excellent variations and light and shade.

Well done with the vocals and I also enjoyed the Mmms background vocals.

Best Regards
Nigel

Great blues tune. I like the way you built it up. The female backing vocals definitely added to the over all feel. Nice job!

I used East West VST for some of the backing vocals. I just uploaded a remix. Thanks for listening and comments

I've only listened to the remix, but this is a great blues.
Well written, arranged and mixed, but the absolute highlight are your vocals and the BG ladies.
Very, very well done!

Fantastic blues!
Great dynamic build up with a super ending.
Very strong vocal!

Were those the EastWest Backup singers?

You know I love good blues so yes I loved this one.

Very nice. Great arrangement. I love the East West backup singers. They are very good!


My wife asked if I had seen the dog bowl. I told her I didn't even know he could.

Ya I am singing. I have often been told that I dont put enough energy into my singing (that's because I am shy about my voice ) so I went all out on this one.

I used a VST plugin that brings the tone down, and mixed it with my natural voice to give it that deep delta blues tone.
Thanks for listening.

That's one heck of a ballad!

Engaging story, good build, interesting arrangement that kept me listening all the way through.

Loved the vocal delivery.

I've always enjoyed your vocals, nothing to be shy about. More, please! laugh

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

That’s an excellent and effective build in the arrangement.

The band and the bgv’s were very supportive of your gritty and powerful vocal. Love that attitude!

The lyric had us caught up in his story too. smile

Enjoyed it!
