I think this was the first song I posted here. Around 2013.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have us another blues tune!

Gruve, my friend, good to hear from you again! I was surely here when you posted this in 2013, but it sounds new all over again. I just love the way you belt out your vocals! You have such a distinctive voice. And a great voice it is.

You know its hard to review your songs, because as soon as they finish, another one starts and I get sucked into THAT song, over and over until I never get back to the original song. SO here I sit, four songs in. I remember I really liked the first one. And the second one. And the third one. Dang, I like 'em all. Something in all of your songs that speaks to me.

Knock it off, I got stuff to do. I can't sit here all day listening to music.

But you make me want to.

Well, thanks for reposting, Gruverider. Love that slide. Good feeling blues shuffle, and well sung.

I'm a blues guy at heart.

This one fits nicely into that nitche.

Never heard it first time around but this time it sounds great.

A bit of SRV in that voice.

Nice one!

Gruverider,

I wasn’t on the board in 2013, so this is a first listen for me. And this is a mighty fine blues number; fine mix and production from first to last. Totally smoking guitars—both of them—working so well together. Great vocal as well. Really slick stuff!

My best to you,

Deej

Pat, generosity should be your middle name. I've always appreciated your comments. You make a man want to dig deeper and try harder.

Thank you for that!

It's 12 bar blues - with a slide guitar! And singing!

The lyrics include the words "woman" and "whiskey".

Excellent.

Cool tune. Loved the guitar and the placement with the panning. Super vocal. Well done

First time hearing for me. I'm a sucker for a good blues, and this is certainly a good one. Love your vocal.
Regards,
Leon

Laurence ...

Man, so great to hear you again. It's been a while!

I didn't hear this when you first posted it, to best of my severely-impaired memory. Sure am glad I clicked onto it this time.

And that is one rowdy, high-powered Blues! You have the perfect voice for it. The b/g tracks are busy and boisterous but, somehow, don't intrude on everything else. That's some real fine mixing and track choices. What a treat! Totally enjoyed it!!!

Best to you. Take care ...

Alan

Welcome back mr gruve!

No matter what the genre you are amongst the finest singers on the board
(and on the various playlists we listen to). Period.

Great blues band and mix...really well put together in a mix that sounds
in the pocket on the KRKs.

Stick around!

J&B

Welcome back Lawrence!!! Always excited to hear one of your tunes!! As others have said, you have a KILLER voice....so much personality and soul!! Great to hear you again!! Take care. Greg

Fantastic vocal Lawrence- you don`t say if these are RT`s from 2013- if so, wow those twin harps are amazing.
Keep bringing these songs to our notice- lots of new folks around here.

Robert

Lawrence

Nice to have one of your songs posted.

A top notch blues and great vocal.

Peter

Thank you to everyone for taking time to listen and for the generous comments!


Robertkc, I looked up the RTs and they are actually from September 2012. That would make them from the 2011 BIAB! Wow!

Always jealous of "that voice"!

Mix sounds great. Excellent Blues tune.

Thank you Tom. I hope to be re-energized in 2021.

Thank you Floyd!

Lawrence, it's great to hear you again! I may have missed some stuff from you in the recent past because I haven't been around much but you always deliver the goods with everything you post! Your vocals are as good as they come! This is a stellar performance! A great blues tune for sure! Take care! T

Lawrence,
Fun blues tune. Was not here for original post, so brand new to me. Great vocals, especially gets interesting 2:25 and later. Solid production. Enjoyed it! Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

Torry and Misha, thank you for listening and commenting.

Hi Gruverider

It's good blues that you offer us. Your vocal is excellent. Your solo guitar and your harmonica are very pleasant. Well done.


Kindly regard

Fantastic blues! Love the blues harps and the vocals.

This should be in Alligator Records repertoire. It is that good!

Your vocals are what make this song stand out.
Cool.

Derochette, thankyou for the kind words.
