The Devil's got my Soul (2019, Christiane Spruit)

V1)
There's fire in your eyes
burning in my soul
The way you walk into a room
And I know it ain't wise
But I lost all my senses, and I lost all of control
the devil got my soul

V2)
Too close to the heat
it will burn my skin
but the way you look
with a sinners grin
and I lost all of my resistance
and I know, I ain't wise

The devil got my soul

V3)
I don't know what to do
everything in me wants you
the sky ain't fallin' but a fool will do
And I lost all my senses, and I lost all of control

Outro: The devil got my soul

All comments welcome!

Dave, this track is right in your musical wheelhouse! The band you have assembled here is perfect! I always love and highly respect/appreciate your blues playing skills which are fantastic once again here! Another super vocal performance from Chris! Thanks, Torrey

Hi Dave and Chris,

When hearing this, it wasn't the devil that got my soul, but a bunch of angels!
Very strong Blues. Liked it immediatly. The sologuitar did a very nice job.
And Chris was acting as one of the angels that take hold of my soul. Wonderful!
And after that song, another great bluessong of you started playing: Here's to you!
Great listening those songs after one another! Valentines Way has to compete more and more against excellent songs from you!
but it is still the winner, but close. Too close.

Very nice work from the two of you!

Dave & Chris,

Another good Blue Rock number.

All parts of the band sound good. Drums and bass are tight. Vocals sits in the mix well. The fills/solos really shine on this - great tone and playing.

Cool ending.

Y'all have had one heck of a year!!

Nice and tasty. Great playing and singing.

More great blues from a great duo. Tracks are so pro. Liked the ending, and everything that came before it.

Dave / Chris

A professional sound, some excellent blues singing, loved the outro, and fluid, melodic, blues guitar fills and solo.

Another winner among many.

Great work.

Yet another fantastic musical journey. This is very professional but not in a cold, clinical way.
Chris's sultry vocals and your (Dave's) smouldering lead guitar make this one hellishly hot track.
Love the lyrics too. A couple of standout examples: "sinners grin" and "the sky ain't fallin' but a fool will do".
Thanks for sharing this.
Cheers,
Mike

Hi Dave & Chris,

you really keep 'em coming ....!

That's a terrific blues number and there isn't a thing about it that I wouldn't like an awful lot.

Chris, you sure got the hang of singing the blues, no doubt about that. And, Dave, your tasteful guitar playing and choice of tone is always a special treat.

It sounds good, because it simply IS good.

Take care,

Stefan

Another excellent tune Dave! Really enjoyed your solo work before verse 3. You balanced the guitars very nicely with the rest of the music. Really like your choice on the electric piano, that fit the song perfectly. Of course the lyrics/vocal from Chris are spot on like usual.

Keep 'em coming, I can't get enough! smile
Posted By: AudioTrack Re: The Devil's got my soul - 11/19/19 01:39 PM
This is really great. Excellent blues, and the delivery is superb.

Instrumentation is perfect and fits in so well. I really like the breaks. Gives added dimension.
Posted By: Robertkc Re: The Devil's got my soul - 11/19/19 03:00 PM
Dave & Chris,
Drum intro had me swaying and when Chris comes in I close my eyes and enjoy the sultry ride.
Another blues rocker knocked out of the park- very,very good!
Interesting to hear that el.piano sitting high in the mix-sounds so good with the guitar solo.
Long may you run Blue Attitude... you guys are proof that the line between home studio and professionally produced music has all but disappeared.

Great song, I can hear the Eagles sound in there, kinda has that (Witchy Woman) feeling to it, love vintage Electric Piano, and the guitar solo is right on!!
Posted By: Ember - PG Music Re: The Devil's got my soul - 11/19/19 10:34 PM
This song has a really cool attitude to it. Thanks for sharing!
Posted By: rayc Re: The Devil's got my soul - 11/20/19 05:18 AM
Your non solo licks could use a little more level - they're cool & need to be heard.
the rest of the arrangement is cool - I wondered about the Rhodes up the middle at 1st but it doesn't get in the way so it well placed.
Vocals? She does this stuff really well.

Another awesome tune Dave and Chris. Super vocal. Would love to hear this live. Super guitar work Dave. Love the way it comes in off the vocal. Well done
Posted By: Guitarhacker Re: The Devil's got my soul - 11/20/19 10:56 AM
That's got a nice groove to it. Good song.
Posted By: Deryk - PG Music Re: The Devil's got my soul - 11/20/19 12:56 PM
What a tune! I'm picking up some Eagles influence here, which is never a bad thing. Love the groove, and the vocals knocked it out the park. It has a really nice vintage sound I enjoyed, and I thought the mix and production sounded really professional.

You should be proud of this one - thanks for sharing smile
Posted By: Janice & Bud Re: The Devil's got my soul - 11/20/19 02:36 PM
Smoking Hot!!!

What would be for us a very, very difficult task? Picking 12 of y'all's songs for an album smile

Killer sultry vocal and guitar to go with it.

Folks that have a shadow of doubt about how good RD's can be
need to listen to this.

And those RD's are laying down the base of an outstanding selection of backing tracks.

And the lyric is standout...one doesn't often hear that coolness in blues rock.

Y'all set the piano on fire and exited the stage smile

You & Chris certainly make a great musical combination...
Great writing, singing, & playing...
Song after song after song...
All I can say is wow!

Thanks, floyd!

Yes, it has been a good year looking back at it. We both had extended vacations at different times this year, I think that helped; after not doing anything musically for a couple of weeks you tend to come back with fresh ideas.

Still hoping to get one more done before the end of the year though, I'm almost finished building a bed to send over to Chris wink
Posted By: jannesan Re: The Devil's got my soul - 11/21/19 05:37 PM
Another strong blues number, devil seems to have quite many blues musicians' souls already smile Great selection of BIAB instruments mixed very well, I especially like the reverb on guitars. Vocals and solo guitar playing are on the highest level - yet sounding fresh and effortless.

Great blues. You continue to be masterful at weaving your guitar around the vocal. The solo was on fire! I enjoyed this much.
Posted By: MarioD Re: The Devil's got my soul - 11/23/19 09:04 PM
The devil ain't down in Georgia, he's in Canada wink

Excellent groove you have going on here. It reminded me of Witchy Woman. Great vocal and very tasty guitar all rolled up in a very professional mix.

You two should be very proud of this on.

Another great blues song from you both... You absolutely nail this!

Awesome vocal and guitar - first class production - the best!

Really good stuff here!! Always loved minor blues! Such a catchy and sweet tune. The Wurly EP is perfect for the tune, vocal is great, AND Dave, as usual, is off the hook!! Great stuff guys!! Take care. Greg

Some serious soul infused blues track you made! Hot stuff! I do not believe I have heard a single mediocre tune from you. This is not exception. Love it! For some strange reason, I get the vibe of LV#9 by The Searchers from this.

Thank you for sharing!

Hi Ray,

Getting the guitar levels right, especially during the fills, is something I spend a lot of time on. If I'm not sure I err on the side of caution and turn them down a bit, the vocal always has to be the star.

Thanks!

Yes, realdrums are great! Just need a little tweaking as you know to get the best out of them. I use them probably 90% of the time.

Hi Misha,

Well, I'm not hearing it myself, but that was a great song from my youth! I love all that old stuff. I'm surprised you know it actually, I thought it would be way before your time.
Thanks for the listen and comments!
