A good, solid blues write that ticks all those "I really enjoyed this song" boxes... write, arrangement, performances and production.
Dave's additions are unmissable and add extra sparkle. Excellent work.
I think Ray's comments about your being a "playful writer" hits the nail on the head.
It's easy to hear that making music brings you lots of pleasure.
This is a fine addition to the BabuMusic songbook smile

Thanks for the listen and comment, Noel. You and Ray are right (as always smile ) I enjoy creativity wherever and whenever it shows up.

A triumphant narrative of deliverance, I presume?

Beyond the video's unsettling charm, your bassline is a veritable engine – driving the song with a groove that's both relentless and refined. And need I mention your signature 'narrative vocals'? You're practically the Dickens of the Musicverse! Dave Bell's guitar work is, as ever, pure aural confection. You gentlemen are clearly operating on a level that transcends any need for dubious crossroads bargains. Superb work – utterly captivating from start to finish! 💗
best to you

Thanks, Izzy. Prints of darkness are the photographer's nightmare. The videos are the least rewarding and often most dificult part of the whole process, but I do like seeing how the Ai comes up with images based on my elaborate prompts. The dickens, you say. Dave's "aural confection." I really like that one. Yeah, I sat at the crossroads once and the devil never found me then either. Did see Robert Johnson in the crosswalk though.

Enjoy whatever happens!
