Interesting story with a historical feel, the dark mood is built nicely around the rhythm. I love Marty's bass line, it is perfect for this tight rhythm. Dave's "whisky" voice has really enjoyable bass tone. I wonder can I get overdose of Dave's guitar, but what can you do when you are an addict  Good that the mix is not muddy, but clear and powerful in every detail. Janne

Hi, Dave. Those drums really crack. Once the song gets the groove going, it doesn't give up. Vocals work nicely with the style, and that guitar burns. Everything works here - love those harmonics, too!

Hey Dave,
Really loved this one by you and Kathy. Great story telling and song smithing.
Super mix as well!
Great job. Appreciate that, David! Dave, great to hear that guitar again. And that baritone voice! Perfect for the song. Way to go, guys! Thanks, Bob, and great to see you back here again! Oh man, this is one of the best songs I've heard from you. Your opening lead oozes a murky swamp feel, along with that slinky bass line, makes quite a groove. Really cool vocal. Thanks, Scott!

Dave:
Swampy indeed! What killer guitar work on this! That low vocal works so well with this mix. Very cool sound you have going on here. The write really captures the vibe of the music to boot. Outstanding work on this!!
Deej Thanks, Deej. Man, I can't tell ya how many times I've listen to this one, Dave, and I can count pretty high. All of your songs, especially the ones you sing, stay in my head long after. Thanks so much for the invite --even though that BiaB guy sounded so good. I'll choose you over a BIAB bass guy always, Marty Thanks for being you! You three folks make some mighty fine music! I guess we could say you folks are a Trio of Treats. Great vocals. lyrics and a smoking hot guitar. And that's a killer bass line.
Very nicely done!
Alan Cheers, Alan!

Cool lyric with a hit of Fogerty vibe. And over all a "later years" Tony Joe vibe albeit w/o the whomper stomper. We enjoyed the smoky vocal and the very cool licks by Marty. No surprise but, hey, superb guitar in tone and chops! Great drums and we thought the organ well added to the mood. Enjoyed the audio and vid, J&B

What a cool vocal performance - I love it.
The guitar and bass are of your usual high standard, but like I said, your vocals and the general dirty, raw vibe make the song special.
More of this stuff please!

Really excellent song and production. The rhythm section chugs it along and your solo guitar work is perfect.

Dave,
What a spectacular sound!
You are the master of arranging and producing.
By every measure, this is exceptional.
You, Kathy and Marty have created something amazing here.
And those vocals... wow!
Writing, arranging, singing, mixing, producing... this is top quality all the way!
