Excellent, Nigel. You had me with Sonny Boy, then turned it a bit Latin and I am all in. Great choices of instruments and such a good mix. Love that organ solo. You vocal is absolutely perfect for the Blues or anything close --which pretty much is everything. When it was over Soundcloud took me right into Chuggin'. Yeah, everything you do is top notch.

A definite Santana vibe...well he did make his mark with Latinesque blues.
I particularly enjoyed the organ solo. Which of the two played taht?
Solid mix and arrangement. Well done, as usual.
Cheers

Hi Nigel ...
Man, you never disappoint. And the light Latin treatment works perfectly.
I've used that lead guitar track a couple of times - it always does the trick when used properly, as you did. It's a great bluesy sound with an edge. And that organ solo is just so good!
You always bring some terrific music!

BRILLIANT. Such a good voice, such a good musician you really are. The guitar sections are out of this world, too. Brilliantly done. Bravo.

Nigel,
Cool Music.
As ray mentioned, definitely a Santana vibe (and a GOOD one!!)
Nice vocal. Sitting perfectly.
Nice use of the organ...
Bass sounds really good. However you processed that, I'd stick with it - perfect.
good stuff

Definitely Santana, in the best possible way.
Vocals, guitar, organ noodling.... everything is well mixed and balanced and has room to shine.
Very well done!

Definitely a Santana vibe.
Great B3 and guitar leads.
You have the perfect voice for this genre.
As I love the blues and Santana you know I'm going love this one.
My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Whenever Nigel puts something up on SoundCloud you can bet it's top shelf and this song is exactly that.
Great vocals, great band, great mix.
Keep these coming man!
https://soundcloud.com/user-646279677BiaB 2024 Windows For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

Nice work excellent vocal and a tasty organ solo.
I see a lot of Santana comparisons but the guitar sounds more like the Allman Brothers to me.

Hi Peter,
Thanks for your comments.
Yes Jack Pearson was a guitarist for The Allman Brothers. I think he may have replaced Dwayne Allman until he had to retire prematurely with a bad Tinnitus condition.
After Jack auditioned for the band Greg Allman commented "we either hire him or take lessons from him".
Best Regards

Yep, vibes of Santana, but oh, how we love Jack Pearson’s guitar playing.
Enjoyed the organ solo too.
Vocal and mix are top notch.
Nice!
