This bluesy shuffle style features an electric guitar, piano, electric bass and drums. The guitar plays mostly syncopated chords with lots of ornamentations and bass note pick ups to the next bar. The piano keeps a shuffling bass line in the left hand while alternating between chords, riffs, and trills in the right hand. The bass keeps out of the chord instruments way with just a simple walking bass line. The drums play swirl brushes during the A sections and add open hi-hat during the B sections. This song is in the key of E major and features dominant7 and minor 7 chords. Chord changes happen every 4 to 8 beats.

Mixed in Studio One. All vocals my self

Rob,

This is excellent! Love the groove and arrangement. Outstanding vocal and love the background vocals.

Awesome!

Bob
Very Elvisy with the Jordanaires, I liked it. The call and response with the backup voices threw me at first but then I realized you intended them to only be on the first line of each verse. Great voice, nice work!
Elvis does blues! Nice vocals and background vocals.

An enjoyable listen.
That is mighty good, Bob. The elements are strong and work.
Take me back. A sweet listen to a love-lost song. The band is just great and the vocal and backups put a smile on my face (though I really shouldn't be smiling at this guy's sorrow). Killer end lick too. Much enjoyed.

Many thanks for listening Bob. Rob
Rob, what was that synthy/string thing that happened at 1.33 on the left?
1st impression: LOUD
2nd impression: cool
3rd listen - it could do without the thing at 1.33 but otherwise tres bon.
Your vocals are strong, even and sweet.
Well done, Rob.

A signature sound, I think. You do this well...

Enjoyed the listen.

Rob
"now the chickens won`t lay
how am I supposed to carry on"
Like that... and everything shuffles along nicely behind your unmistakeable vocal ( and those backup singers).
Another sad story=good song!

Robert
Elvis sings the blues and backs himself up. Cool.

Nice mix and use of RT's to support your always great vocals.

We love Elvis and the blues so this is right in our wheelhouse.

Hey, you need a consumer alert...this puppy is LOUD! Rock on!!!

We enjoyed it!

Thank you TuneMunger
Nice work on this - I thought it was nicely catchy, and the harmonies are on point. Reminds me of something from the late 50's/early 60's. Some kicking solos too which I appreciate. A solid write!

Thanks for sharing smile
Very nice, Bob! LIke has been said, a lot of Elvis and the Jordanaires here. Nothing to not like about that!

Great job!

Hi Ray. As this song is tongue in cheek I felt the synth slide added to the vibe.
Thanks for listening and comment. Rob
Rob, to my ears you've really got the Elvis vibe happening on this one! Great vocal as always! Thanks, Torrey
Rob

Very nice arrangement and as usual you nailed the vocal parts.
Excellent work.

Thank you Floyd.
Wow, wow, wow - love this a lot. Yes, Elvis and the Jordanaires come to mind. Very groovy.

Stefan
This is the type of song where your vocals really shine!! Nice country blues deal! Strings were kind of a different twist. BG vocals are very sweet too! Nice job Rob!! Take care. Greg
