I don't think it's a Real track (RealTracks in style: 421:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Blues Sw 120) Very punchy song, I like it _________________________ BIAB USER SINCE 2010

Then the organ lick and guitar lick form a very solid ramp to the vocal... Interesting bass choice - CountrySwing - works well with the shuffle drum - solid. Nice tone on your guitar. Good groove throughout. I don't recall anyone using the organ so well... Excellent mix. (you are the King of BIAB drums! <bow> <bow> ) Tasty. The guitar walk-down lick.... nice! floyd _________________________ 125+ BIAB Songs

For me its always hard to tell which is which on your tracks. Also liked your jazzier take on the blues this time....very nicely done. Thanks for posting. -Jeff

Very cool lyrics, and delivered with feeling and command. Guitar work is as good as it gets. Love the interesting chord changes-very fresh approach to the blues, and as Floyd said, organ is amazingly well used. Pure Tommyad blues magic!! Loved it. Take care Tom. Greg

I was having a ZZ Top flashback at that moment. Great heavy guitar tone. What was your setup for that? _________________________ Patrick http://youtube.com/musingthemusic https://soundcloud.com/musingthemusic

Registered: 08/25/03 Posts: 3072 Loc: wales gibson Veteran Registered: 08/25/03 Posts: 3072 Loc: wales	Tom, NICE! Some cool licks in your solo and the walkout was nice. I like the way the organ interweaves. It's too early for my "neighbourhood test" (4.00am!) I will try it later. That monkey on the back is good inspiration for songs and I had a quick flash of the evil monkey who lives in Chris' closet in Family Guy for that! Good work as usual Alyn _________________________ My showcase songs

You well know what a fan we are of the blues and, man, does this one stands out above the crowd. The write breathes refreshing life into the genre and the groove is right in the pocket. Your vocal delivery is nailed and then your guitar. A guitar for which you have both a signature sound backed up with fine playing. Yup, we like it a LOT!!! Nearly forgot to mention the ace arrangement and mix. Getting so spoiled we've just come to take it for granted. J&B _________________________ Check out our BiaB SoundCloud songs!
