You are cranking it out on you axe. Excellent.
Yup, BIAB is all you need.
Great write. I love these two lines: "no-no-no no girlie pop songs" and "singin bots and ai slop"

Very cool lyric - Bud said, “I wish I’d written that.” 😊
“screamin, slidin six strings
a bass strong and low
a rhythmic, shufflin backbeat
that never let's ya go”
And
“singin bots and ai slop
no heart, no soul” - AMEN !!!
Delightful guitar that makes us feel the deep joy of the blues
And we love how you sing “Bonamassa!”
We love floyd, we love the kings, we love Joe, we love Larkin Poe, we love Stevie Ray and we love a shuffle!
The blues man emerges…

Floyd,
Wow! This really turns up the heat! Love the song, your vocal and your EXCELLENT guitar!
This is completely Bonamassa approved!
Bob  Thanks, Bob! I check the forum often just in case something like this gets posted. My kind of music! You named quite a few of my favorites - for most of my adult life, blues was the only genre I listened to (and played). Great singing, great playing, love the lyrics, a total winner! Much appreciated, Bob... Floyd,
Killer! 'Nuff said!
Deej 'Nuff. Thanks.

Well, you know I'm going to love this! Right up my alley.
Fun write, great groove, and nice playing too, you have come a long way since you started on this adventure. Good tone, phrasing, and note choices, right in the pocket.
Perfect! Much appreciated, Dave.... Great job, Floyd. Super write and love your playing. Nice arrangement, great use of the organ for adding texture. Great vocals, too! BiaB is ALMOST all you need: Having a load of talent is helpful, and...you got it. Thanks, a bunch, Ron

Floyd,
Unlike some of the others who've commented, I have to admit to not being a blues girl and yet, I know a good song when I hear one. This was smokin'. Love the character, love the shuffle. Love your expressive voice on it. Great line: "singin bots and ai slop no heart, no soul" I appreciate your artistry. Thanks, Beth... Hi Floyd,
Love shuffle blues! A really nice lyric. Very creative use of words. But that's what you do. And it so damned good.
You might consider giving that lead guitar guy a raise - he outdid himself.
Everything is A++
nice!!!
Alan Appreciated, Alan...always... High-class namedropping and a mysterious woman - an excellent base for a blues song. Great grooving rhythm provided by BIAB, the organ fits perfectly. Excellent guitar playing honors the masters. And good vocals show that the thrill is not gone, it has just arrived.
Janne High-class namedropping and a mysterious woman - an excellent base for a blues song. Great grooving rhythm provided by BIAB, the organ fits perfectly. Excellent guitar playing honors the masters. And good vocals show that the thrill is not gone, it has just arrived.
Janne Very nice of you to say, Janne...Thanks...

Brilliant, floyd. A change of pace, so well done. You rock. That guitar of yours, too ... wow. That voice of yours, and its tone, could sing the phone book and make it sound amazing. And these lyrics are certainly no "just a phone book", either.
Well done. Gritty and compelling. More, please.

I'm assuming this one is a new write. The mix is good, and fits well in your FJ catalog of songs.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Amazing blues, and if you had written that the solo was by Brent, I'd say "Of course it was Brent". Really well played, all the right notes and nothing more, with a great tone. First piano, now guitar – if you keep going at this pace, you won't need BIAB anymore soon. Floyd the drummer. Ha!  Very much appreciated. B.D…. I’ve moved on to bass. My wife says “Don’t even think about drums, mister “ Floyd, an excellent wordsmith/story teller, arranger, vocalist, and now an outstanding guitarist.
You can do it all my friend.
As usual everything is perfect.
Loved that groove and the song Thanks, Mario!!…. With just the right amount of delay & reverb....keys to the kingdom.
You've come a long way it a short time...though I've no idea of your real starting point.
I did anticipate a horn section at some point due to the lyric but that was neither essential nor missed.
Wailing on the way out too.
A dance track in the best sense. Starting point was pretty much “no clue” I did consider horns but decided I had already bitten off enough Appreciate it

Brilliant song lyrically and a great production. The theme totally demanded the 3 solos which I 100% enjoyed. Excellent stuff. Thanks, Chay!... YEAH!! Your guitar playing is bringing this to a super high level. And I really like howyou mixed the B3. WOw, what a fun song. Love the feel and your always perfect lyrics. You kow how much I enjoy your vocal, but, man, you really are doing a fine job on guitar. Same FJ gret taste and your tone is engaging. You have a real finesse in playing each note. Bonamassa and the 3 Kings, BB, Albert, Floyd. Thanks, a bunch, for that, Marty... Very cool.
That JPR sounds smooth. Thanks, David.

Hi floyd.
Once again, you take excellence and send it soaring into the stratosphere.
Everything about this is awesome – song, arrangement, performance, production.
This is a great write. Your way with words, melody and groove create a superb journey.
I thoroughly enjoyed listening.

Seeing that title, I just had to listen!
It's a beautiful tune! I love that swinging beat... it' s the perfect vehicle to carry this along!
The guitar sounds awesome with that biting tone! Those sweet blues licks are wonderful!
Inspiring work with a great vocal!
Thanks, TB
