You two played some of the best blues and it should be on the radio today.
Great guitar tone and as usual chops.
That bass was right in the pocket.
Great vocal.
This line is so true "you gotta bend those notes, you gotta make it cry
Play with feeling, just like Buddy Guy". Well, calling a vocal of mine "great" is a bit of a stretch   Thanks, Mario! When Dave and Marty say "Time To Play Some Blues"...who would argue????
No one.
A good write.
The ever excellent guitar and bass...duh
Very much enjoyed. Well done.
fj Thanks as always for the support, floyd, very much appreciated!

You’ve got two hallelujahs from the amen corner down here, Dave! 😊
“Like a whistle blowing on a lonesome train
the blues will take away your pain”
Oh yeah! We love everything about this and are you ever correct on your mentions of Stevie Ray, Albert King and Buddy Guy.
You and Marty do them way more than justice in this excellent song with your guitar, swampy vocal and Marty's bass.
And you wrapped it all in a fine mix and cool vid.
Keeping the blues alive and well!
J&B Out of the three I mentioned I saw Stevie Ray three times and Buddy Guy twice. Never got to see Albert unfortunately, but he was my first major influence back when I first started playing. Thanks Janice and Bud! Another great write and delivery, Marty's bass really stood out; big and fat.
You guys are the masters of blues rock. Thanks very much! Yeah, Marty makes any song sound good.

Listened to this tune a couple of times Dave. Loved the chord progressions you used in this tune. Super vocal and lyric. You definitely bent those notes. Fingers must have been singing as well. Guitar work was awesome and Martys basslines were top shelf. Loved the wah as well.

Beautiful. Loved your voice in particular, here, as well as Marty's excellent, seamless bass playing. A great ode to the blues  - well done, the both of you.

Joyous blues rock.
Great playing & tone - love the linking phrases too.
The klank in the attack of Marty's bass REALLY works sitting him in the mix with definition.
Vocals sound smoked/BBQ'd and a really well placed in the sound stage.
ACE!
Cheers

Hi Dave.
You are definitely one of the forum's elite when it comes to blues.
You and Marty have done a magnificent job with this song.
It is so easy to hear that both of you are in your comfort zone with your performances.
The arrangement and the production sizzle.
As I listened, I could actually see you and Marty on stage performing. It was that realistic to me.
And the vocals... perfect!
I loved everything about this.
--Noel Thanks for that, Noel! Just a brilliant song and arrangement all around. 100%, 5 Star, Top of the Class. … Though I would have … no I wouldn't. Just kidding.  Thanks! Hi Dave, great song!
I listened to it when it just was released, but couldn't write what good song it is. Now I did on YT and I repeat it here; great song, cool solo, good lyrics and vocals.
And of course Marty is very good too. I wonder if that man ever sleep. He's always busy with making songs for himself, you, me, a lot of others.
And always quality (and friendly). You both are a good team!
Hans Marty is a songwriting machine, amazing the amount of quality material he produces. Thanks, Hans!

That was a treat! Your and Marty's musicianship is inspiring. And you both really stepped it up at the instrument break. Your vocal fits the song well.

My least favorite part of any song where I'm doing the vocal is the vocal Thanks for the kind words! Joyous blues rock.

ACE! I experimented with adding some distortion to Marty's bass track on this song, helps it cut through the mix I think. Thanks, Ray!

Marty likes to add his bass part last so that he can react to what I'm playing on guitar, gives it a live feel during the solos. Thanks, Scott, very much appreciated!

Can't believe I haven't jumped in here before. I love this song --Heck, you know that, Dave, but I wanna go on record. hehe Thanks to all who've listened and commented here and on YT.
Before I leave I have to quote one of the guys I quote most often, David Cuny. Towit: Cool blues that comes with instructions (and name dropping)!

"you gotta bend those notes, you gotta make it cry" - the real master does what he teaches Nice namedroppings. Marty is really on fire on this one, great playing, IMO he would certainly deserve a famous dropping also Good smokey vocals, bit buried in the haze, but still enjoyable. Janne
