Great lines!

We love the groove of this, Marty, and you and Dave have the Delta blues down.
And Dave’s new setup sounds excellent as do your bass chops and the mix.

Your vocal really shines on this too and Janice singled out your extra special phrasing on “straw” and “yard” that were a treat.

Cool vid to go along with a cool song!

Thank, Janice & Bud. I was hoping you'd like that laid-back, swampy feel. Glad you caugtht those, Janice. I've never been a singer, but it seems each song takes on a new character, and this one was scared they were all gonna see through his lies.

The problem is, I don't know what you did. Probably you are the king in making beautiful songs with the speed of light.
This one is no exception. Lovely rhythm.

And Dave played so well too (of course)!
Well done. Nothing to complain about, of course (too)...

Hans
Thanks, Hans! You? Complain? Ha. Happy to have dodged that bullet. Seriously, Hans, thanks for all of your comments here and elsewhere.

Enjoyed the chord progression, sounds very refreshing.
Very cool band, excellent selection of BIAB instruments and Dave & Marty section supports them seamlessly, pleasure to hear Dave doing picking for a change. Excellent vivid vocals, love that high note!

Janne
Thanks, Janne. Creativity is like Hapkido --no rules. Ha! Yeah, that defense might work if he was on trial for making magnets or something. Love your line about the guilt of O'l Blue Eyes. I'd hire you for my defense team for sure.

One word for Dave Bell, too ... superb, as always. Bravi smile
Thanks so much, James! Glad you heard it that way --the cuz. I like that "backstage kitchen" designation. If this is "work," I love my job.

Enjoy whatever happens!
