Man alive Dave, this is some good stuff! I liked the entire the song. Your vocal is fine, great for that blues feel. I really liked the lyrics and thought they could find a home with several different genres. As usual, you slay me with that guitar. As always, liked your rides and intros, but I really thought that wah in the chorus (kind of faded in the back) was a stroke of genius. It's obvious you and Marty have spent a lot of time playing together. You've got a very tight sound. I guess this is just a long way of saying: I like it!

I'm just here to add a smile to this one, Dave. I really enjoy the songs you write. The ones you sing play in my head long after the song is over.


Enjoy whatever happens!

How on earth does the blues flow so naturally and splendidly out of Blue Attitude? Everything is so convincing, I would call it routine, but routine would never sound this refreshing.
Guitar playing is...on the same legendary level as a kung fu master, that man knows exactly what to do with his axe, even blindfolded and backwards. BIAB instruments sound like the rest of the REAL band. And the bass even more real.
I let my spirit dance... I enjoyed the pleasantly flowing melody especially in the verses, nice lyrics and those strong vocals, I got also Chris Rea vibe, the sound of lived life is strongly present.

Dave and Marty

While Chris is certainly a very, very good vocalist, you took care of business on this track!
Love that smooth flowing bluesy sound in here! Love that wah effect on the guitar, it created such a killer tone for those solos!
Marty's bass playing is also so sweet here really providing the foundation to make this track sound great!
You guys are an awesome and talented team! The best!!
Thanks, TB

Solid through and through. I was mesmerized by your guitar intro and solo. Wow! At the end of the video, is the message that going up in a hot air balloon is a crap shoot?

“Roll them dice and enjoy the dance”

Well, you quickly had Janice dancing to your excellent song, Dave.
We couldn’t agree more with the lyric and the video represents it very well.

Your vocal sounds great and the husky quality gives it a richness. As others said, turn it up. 😉

Your solo is killer and we love the wah wah.

Marty plays, as always, a fine track and the mix is excellent.

Enjoyed it!
