Now this is the blues, awesome work thanks for sharing!

AWESOME!! I've come to expect amazing guitar work from you, but I was even more blown away by the vocal. Love the vocal performance and the processing-feels retro and ultra-blue!! One of the best blues tunes I've ever heard! Take care. Greg

Hi Tommy,

see it like Greg: "I've come to expect amazing guitar work from you, but I was even more blown away by the vocal."
And that sax blends absolutely perfectly with your guitar.
It's awesome.

Guenter

Electrifying! Great atmosphere. Nice raspy vocals. Very blue lyrics. Incredible skreechy leads. Yippee! Cheers.

LOL! Thank you for the warning but I listened anyway.

I was thinking how good your voice sounded - cool drums, bass and organ - then that guitar and sax came in and I was floored.

So whether it's my fav genre or not, I can say this, it's one of if not the best arranged/produced straight out blues track I've heard on this forum.

Killer arrangement and sound.

Josie

Good stuff Tommy, I love it man.

Later,

I've got to go with the others on this one -- AWESOME

This is good stuff.

Charlie

Great blues. Raw and powerful. Great energy in you vocals and solos too.

Like all who have posted thus far, I enjoyed your melodic lines on your guitar. I liked your guitar processing as well. It was very crisp and well articulated.

Can't say much about your vocals. As an instrumentalist, the singing just gets in the way of good guitar playing!

Oh yeah, the female vocal part in in "Little thing called love" is really sweet! It held my attention which happens with guitars only.

Tommy,

I love the blues. Just wish I could play, and sing, it as well as you do.

That was excellent. Nah better than excellent!

good stuff

Robert, Thanks for listing and commenting. Tom



Greg, You have inspired me to work a little harder on my vocals. Thanks for the kind words. Tom




Guenter, Thanks. The sax is run through the same effects as the guitar in an effort to get the sounds close. Tom




Richard, I never thought I'd hear skreechy and incredible in the same description. Thanks, Tom

Josie, Don't know if I'll ever convert you, but you can bet I won't stop trying. Thanks for your very kind words. Tom



Danny, Thanks for checking in on this one. Tom


Tom

Charlie, Thanks for listening and commenting. Tom




Patrick, Raw is where I was going on this. Thanks for the nice words. Tom

Good one Tommy. You got da tone man.

Ricke, thanks for taking the time to listen and comment. I appreciate it. Tom

Alyn, Thanks for your kind words. They mean a lot to me.




Bob, It took me a few years to find the tone, so now I'm milking it. Thanks, Tom

Very good Tommy, almost missed it, Blues as its best!

Thanks for posting

Mike B.

Dani

John

Thanks for listening Mike. Tom



Dani, Thanks for checking in and what happened in Austin stays in Austin. Tom













John, Thanks for the kind words,. Glad you liked it. Tom

HUGE!

Your most confident vocal ever. Big and right up front - excellent.

Right off the bat... did you do something to get that ride cymbal to be so far right? (it sounds great)... the whole kit is sharp!

The first time I listened to this I was impressed by how the sax sounded like a perfect mate to your guitar. Clever that you processed it...

This is just what a blues song should be. An interesting lyric that does not get in the way of the song - the blues, that is... excellent write.

Tasty, Tasty guitar. That boy CAN PLAY!!!! Just the right mix of musical and flash. You impress me more with each song/production.

Top-notch in every regard.

floyd

Tom,
This is my very first post. I should get my BIAB tomorrow. Never used it before. Total noob. Now... Let me just say that your song meets ALL my expectations on how a finished work should sound!

Looking forward to following your fine example and sharing my music in the future. Way to slam the cat down and show how it's done... SON!

Two words: Total Immersion!

I was traipsing down Bourbon St. when I heard you pouring out of the "Old Absinthe House" right there on the corner at Bienville.

I've got a brother-in-law that plays the blues, three friends that are ace blues pickers, and have listened to the blues since the mid 60's. From Robert Johnson to Gregg Allman and all points between I'm always loving me some blues.

And, man, is this some more to love. A great slow blues, for me, just drags you into it and will not let go until the last note fades out. Youhave a great way with making a guitar work WITH a vocal and this shows off that talent big time. Spot on vocal delivery, lyrics, guitar, arrangement and mix.

The whole package. Congrats!!

Hello Tommy,

a great song! Good vocals and a very nice and raw guitar sound. The combination with the saxophone really works.

Regards,
R & AM

Everyboddy done gone and gots da bluez.....


Very cool song.

floyd, Glad you caught that drum processing. There is a imaging effect in Logic called stereo spread. It accentuates to a great degree what is already there. The drums as you know in BIAB are recorded in stereo. This effect took what was there and flipped it over while spreading it. So now the drummer is left handed. Loose hat on the left, Ride on the right. It also works really well on pianos. The sax processing came about when I was trading lines on the guitar. I was playing without a pick to get the attack softer - more sax like, then the light bulb went on and I ran the sax through the guitar amp and processing. It got pretty close. Thanks for your great reviews not only on my stuff but others as well. You always have interesting observations. Tom




George, Welcome from all of us. You are in for a great time. Be sure and check out all the informative posts in the recording section. There is a ton of free info there. This group of people are the best and will be more than happy to help you along. Good luck. We will be waiting for your first song. Thanks for the kind words. Tom

Lawrence, Reminds me of eating red beans and rice at Buster Holmes Rest Stop and Bar back in the day. Glad you liked it. Tom

Your voice is perfectly suited to this song. Great Blues intonation. Keep it up.

B&J, Thanks for your complimentary review. I always take very seriously what you two have to say. Tom




R & AM, Thanks for your kind words. Raw and loud is what I was going for. Tom




Herb, Just tryin to spread the gospel of the blues. Glad you liked it. Tom

I'm feelin it and I can relate.

Robb, Thanks. I appreciate you taking the time to listen and comment.




Fast, Blues is all about feeling and I'm glad you found something in it to grab onto. Tom
