hey congrats on the new album today! Wow!
I watched the YT video. Great little storyline and nice licks responding to the vocal parts. Good choice of pixabay/pexel images......the soccer goal was funny.

Marty, you and Dave go together like chocolate and peanut butter!
Fantastic rock blues.
Marty your vocal was superb as was your bass.
Dave's licks were frosting on the cake - excellent chops and tone.
IMHO this is your best to date.


Doc-take it easy John this is just a sharp scalpel. It will not cut deep so don't worry.

Thanks, Ron. Love the Blues, and I always fiddle with the progressions. I used to have 8 followers on Spotify; only one listens. I just put albums out there so maybe I'll stop mixing them. wink

Dave did a fabulous job as usual.
A really well constructed and mix recording too.

There's seems to be a tiny bass hesitation, or so it seems to me, at 0.49. I noticed it becasue i always listen closely to your bass playing & tone - so I can steall an idea or seven.
Thanks, Ray. Seems there are a lot of hesitations in the bass line --you're not talking about the desingned ones, but I can't catch the one to which you refer. It's cool that you listen to learn because I have learned SO much from you.

Thank you, Dewey. Posting albums is just my way of cleaning out the studio. smile

WOW, thanks, Dan. That is very kind of you. One thing you must do is take the word "not" out of your motto. It does NOT belong there. And to be grammatically correct, change the "but" to "and."


Enjoy whatever happens!

Cool bridge that does what a bridge should. Love that melody. Good vocal.

Thanks, Chad. Curating those royalty-free images is the longest, non-creative part. Yeah, those guys need a better goalie who can handle ricochets. smile

Thank you, Scott, I like that "...what a bridge should." Right? The bridge is just another version of the same song.

Blues at its finest. You and Dave sure complement each other. Cool walking basslines and awesome guitar licks. Super vocal and lyric. Perfect mix..

This is nice and slinky, Marty and Dave. Janice said she felt like she was flowing down that twisty road in the video. 😊

That’s a cool lyric and we love the change up in the last verse of who is driving who out of their minds. Also,
the opening line’s “…but now I know I don't know” phrase is one that we often think about in situations.

Excellent mix and and vocal/instrumental performances by you both.
Fine stinging solo by Dave!

And those video clips are nailed for the lyric.
Plus there is a bike smile

Enjoyed it!

The opening guitar sounded like Dave, and... yep, that's him all right.

It's blues, so you'll get no complaint from me. smile

Nice arrangement. I noticed the bass, so I checked the credits, and... yep, that's you.

Good stuff!

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

Wonderful comment you guys. I especially love that last line: Plus there is a bike smile

Thanks, Gayle. From the singer's pov the last line is what counts. Hey, I'm diggin' your Christmas album. Tried to play it for our granddaughter, but she only has time for Tay-Tay. I see your husband was touched by the tour, and now I'm off to hear his take.

Thanks, David. Oh, yeah, that's Dave. Man, you should hear how lacking these songs are without his touch. Yep, even makes me play better.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Clever title, seemingly having something wrong, but then the insight burst into my mind. And the title is also handled successfully: "You seem to have a new license for driving me out of your mind". Nice bluesy mood to support the idea of being somehow lost in a relationship. Enjoyed the arrangement, interesting chord progression in the bridge, Dave's guitar and the voice expressing the sorrowful situation, no-one else can do it better than Marty.

Yep, your great new album is now driving me through the Friday night.
