Welcome back Chris!

Her vocal sounds as awesome as ever and her lyric and your melody fit like a glove.
We love the way the piano works with the percussion.

We also hear the Santana vibe in your most excellent playing.
Yeah man hints of Carlos ... and Joe. smile Great!

Marty’s bass perfectly glues things together with great tone and chops.

All wrapped up in a fine mix that really sets up an excellent soundstage on the Kalis.

Cool supportive vid images also.

Enjoyed it!

Hey Greg, great to see you, it's been a while! I see you have a new one up, I'll be over shortly to give it a spin.

Yeah, at least for us YouTube is the best place. Thanks for the listen!

Appreciate that, Scott!

I enjoyed the bossa rhythm and the perfectly fitting chord progression. Excellent guitar and bass work. Melancholy in a pleasant mix.

Dave, Chris, Marty and blues - 4 aces, the perfect set of cards in the musical pack.

Thanks, Janne!

Nice, relaxed rhythm, great vocals!


I began in 1970 with a 7 piece dance band. I had other bands, but my most successful one was "The four Windows", a 4 piece guitar band. Many concerts, TV shows, Record contract with EMI and a guitar hit in 1982 in Europe with my "Lonely Seagull".

Loved this tune Dave. Really cool groove and melody to it. Almost a rocker tango if that is such a thing. Very creative and original.. Well done

All the prerequisites for a quality song are here, quality band and a cool Santana vibe.

Dave Bell, Chris Spruit, Marty Straub. Reads like an elite collective of session musicians.

Enjoyable Listen.

How about a big W-O-W!

As Izzy said, it sounds like all A-list studio musicians. When the three of you find all those goodies BIAB leaves for us to discover, something exceptional happens. This might sound a bit out of the box, but two very different things immediately came to mind:

1. Carlos Santana (as previously mentioned)
2. Dean Martin's version of "Sway". If you're not familiar with the song, here's a link - ?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXq-XdyGehk? (minus the question marks)

And the mix is stellar. Talk about a clean sound! This beyond excellent. Congrats to all of you (and some appreciation for BIAB).

What a great listen and video.

Alan

PS: So wonderful to hear Chris again!
