Tom,
This is excellent! Love the instrumentation and vocal. I can hear some Stax-Volt sound in here - very nice...

Tommy I'm an old folkie and currently play around with varying tempos of country but I Love The Grit of this tune and the instrumentation. The B3 takes me back to college days and dancing to the Spencer Davis Group. So how did this song come about? Dare I ask? I find sometimes I can just load a certain style and the lyrics are ready to write themselves. Strange how that happens. Anyway - great song - Ian

Ian, Back in the day, I learned to play keyboards after hearing Stevie W with Spencer Davis. Nobody Knows when youre down and out. A killer rendition. Short answer- Going thru styles I had the concept of a song from the guns point of view. Style fit. Changed out the drums and B3. Added rhythm and lead and vocal. Done and in the can in an hour. I play a variation of this solo live every weekend for the last twenty years so that was one take. Lyrics are based on the movie Taxi Driver. A very fast write. This style is a tribute to the great bluesman Robert Cray. Thanks for asking and for listening. Tom

Hi Tommy,
What a great sound you've got happening with this one! You managed to pull me right into the heart of the mix. I was with you all the way. It's a great hook, too, "A day in the life of a gun".
Regards,
Noel

Tom,
I just listened to this. Another great hook. I assume you're playing a Strat. What ever it is, it's a great guitar sound and really nice playing. Don't you love nailing the guitar in one take. I love when that happens.
The vocals were just right. The lyrics take you right there. It's a solid song.
You used the Cray Style. I used that style on my first new recording. It's a good style. Well done, You got a fan here,
Wayne,

Nice sound Tom.
It springs into life straight away and it's very well mixed - I can hear what you are singing ... Crystal clear.
That B3 is sitting well and the guitar solo is crisp and clear - this is a real foot tapper.
Nice phrasing.
