Dave & Marty,

Another super song and production. All the expected excellence from both of you shines in this great song. Love the tone on the lead guitar! Marty's bass just the right amount of punch.

A great example of excellence in music.

Take care,

Alan

Dave you did a fine job singing this I know you are looking forward to Chris joining you for a project and it will be great to hear her again. You are doing just fine!
Thanks TB

Very kind of you, Torrey, thanks!

What a good song, Dave. You have a real knack for writing catchy melodies and hooks that turn into earworms. Your vocals are quite engaging and wonderfully unique. Thanks for letting me play bass, and then making it sound even better in the mix. The video for this one is WAY over the top, and thanks for getting me involved with CoPilot.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Loved that axe!

Great vocal and mix.
Blues at its absolute best.

Hi Mario,

Man, Mike Bloomfield is one of the best guitarists that ever lived! WAY ahead of his time, better than all his contemporaries (in my opinion of course) and his playing still sound fresh today. I've heard most, maybe all, of his stuff. And of course the Super Session albums he did with Al Kooper are classic! Unfortunately due to his childhood he suffered from very low self esteem which led to drug and alcohol abuse.

Thanks for the support, very much appreciated!

Excellent! laugh

Hi BlueAttitude,

Nice video to illustrate your composition. The melody is very pleasant. I noticed that you also like the bmp 85 which lends itself very well to very soft compositions. Well done. I appreciated.

Jani.

Quite a compliment coming from a pro like you smile Thanks!

There's a certain magic between you two.
Your voice sounds a bit raspier than usual, but I think it fits the song well.
Mixing/production is really good!

Yeah, we have fun which is what matters at the end of the day. Thanks!

I have a new mix, mostly tweaked the harmony vocal and the rhythm guitar.

Can't update the mix on YouTube, so new mix is up on ReverbNation: Music from the Soul

Music straight from the soul, and from the heart, you really tell what you are doing. I can feel how those guitar notes are directly connected to your soul. Great work with the vivid video that paints that soul on the canvas of musical realm. Excellent use of Marty, BIAB instruments and the drums sound really good. I enjoy to hear your singing, there's something very warm and personal.

I don't usually listen to much blues, but I could listen to Blue Attitude all day.

It has a real Santana feel to it. Nice chops y'all!

Wasn't intending it to sound like Santana, but I played a lot of his songs back in the day. Some of that style stuck I guess wink Thanks!

Love this song Dave. Boy does this sound good on the studio speakers. Excellent vocal and lyric. Guitar was awesome as well and Marty's basslines give the song such cool feel. Definitely felt the soul in this too.
