Man, you are on a roll these days, Bob!
Great stuff, I'm enjoying these collaborations with Joliz. She reminds me of Joan Baez somewhat in this song.
Excellent!

Really cool. Has a kinda lo-fi back in the day sort of mix and sound to it. I guess that was the artistic intention. You two are on as roll!

Well, I'm wrapped up in the magic of this tune, Bob. Am once again transported to a cool, distant place that I've never been to, but is some how familiar. Really nice storytelling. That opening guitar sounds so realistic I had to check the credits. Nicely arranged and instrumented, and like how you and Joliz trade off then intertwine. Classy and classic. Great job!

Bob and Joliz, You two are putting out hit after hit!
I really liked you backing band in this one and, of course, you excellent vocals.
Your mix was spot on.
IMHO this is your best to date.

Bob,
I probably sound like a broken record . . . I don’t know how you get that incredibly crisp and clear sound out of your mixes . . . but they sound so professional and showcase all the emotion in your voice. Incredibly lyrics that set up an impressive duet. So wonderfully done!!

David,
Thanks. We appreciate the kind words.
For this mix I used the Waves J37 Tape Lo-Fi Filter. This is a filter that I have used a few times in the past when I'm looking for a close-up intimate sound.

Bob & Joliz,
Y'all are firing on all cylinders. Big time.
So Good.
You seem to polish your skills with every new release. Shining.

Cause these streets can’t talk
I can show you the places
Where the old ghosts still walk "
A perfect description of what you do with pen and paper and guitar.

Beautiful. Didn't expect Joliz's solo entry ... a wonderful surprise, as was your entry together.
Loved the lyrics, too ... magical. These stood out, for some reason, to me:
"And we never did ask
How the ride would end
Down on West 23rd
Or in Paris as friends"
Well done to the both of you. You're somehow producing one classic after another.

I love everything you do. The lyrics on this were awesome. Tangled up in Blue: have you seen the Dylan movie? I wonder if it's any good. Great work, Bob
