Hi, Dave.

Massive guitar sound, and then amazing vocals. Awesome blues! smile

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Hmmm.

Anyway I really love this. The entire song is smoking. I love the vocal and the guitar playing is just through the roof.

Y'all have an incredible sound.

Appreciate all of that, David, thanks!

Strong vocal. Chris has a great Blues Rock voice!
Nice organ.
SOLID bass.
Great mix.

Damn Good Music.

Thanks for all of that, Floyd smile As far as the tone goes, as you probably know there is a JoeB preset in S-Gear that I use quite often, or a variation of it anyway. Might have used it for this one.

Appreciate that, Noel, thanks!

I don't want to diminish your and Marty's role, but every blues gets better when Chris sings.
A great, atmospheric song with lots of emotion.

That guitar oozes emotion, and so does the vocal. The bass line illuminates the shadows of broken dreams. The whole production is top of the line and a pleasure to listen to.

Well, as the three of us have discussed many times, it's all about having fun! wink

Misha.

Thank you Misha! And thanks for turning me onto Tanita Tikaram, I had never heard of her before, she is great! And I can hear the similarities.

The track is excellent. Chris's vocals, in particular, are OUTSTANDING - she really sings with that feeling which pushes songs "over the top". Well done to each and every one of you, though. This is the perfect mix, as far as I'm concerned; for me, not one note out of place. Shades of "It's A Man's World", by James Brown, in places ... but the song is 100% original, nevertheless - and that song is a heck of a song to be compared to smile . Bravi.

Forget crying in your beer when there’s whiskey and tears. This is great!

Chris just oozes soul and her subtleties in phrasing and dynamics are perfect.

Blues Rock to the max Dave … that soaring solo says it all.
And Marty never fails to lay down a great foundation.

The video supports the song very well and the pouring whiskey during your solo was spot on - loved the whiskey dancing on the ice with your ax.
And your guitar solo has such a rich fat tone.

Loved it!

A classic blues song with bittersweet lyrics, skillful playing and excellent vocal performance.

Lyrics are really powerful, "But I ain't no fool/it took me time to see/you can't chain a man/who was born to run free" & "a kiss like a promise a ring like a joke" - a message that won't leave you cold.

Noticed new nice details in Chris's voice, I really enjoyed that emotional fragility. Dave's and Marty's playing sound very relaxed, like they have played like that for decades, maybe because they have smile Can't describe the shivers Dave's solo gave me. All is mixed with perfection, Blue Attitude is premium whisky on the rocks from frozen tears.
