David,

Another spirited write. You are on a real roll.

Your vocal has a great energy to it - perfect for the lyric. The reverb seems out-of-place on this one (just an opinion, of course) - I thought this vocal should have been almost dry - to make it more personal, intimate..(even though it's a big song).

A good group of instruments for the style. The sax is too far in the distance (like the vocal).

When I saw your picture, I thought all those people would be singing along... that would be awesome on this...

Very creative juices flowing on your station!...

Thanks Floyd, I have plans to reunite with Family of Soul this year and get them to sing on this, or at least part of the choir. We have become a bit scattered. But again, I do want to get them back together in some form this year. And you are right--they can truly curl your hair. Like nothing you have ever heard.

Hi David,

Good job on Let The Spirit Drive. The heavy reverb on the drums is a real attention getter to start things off.

Very cool. Would fit nicely on some of the Americana channels
we stream regularly. Nice lyric and hook. The vocal delivery
nails the whole vibe.

Enjoyed the spin!

the vocal reminds her of a Randy Newman Elvis Costello
mashup!

Good job David.
I note that you have chosen again to put your vocal in the back a little, a respectable choice for this style. I am no more connoisseur of anglosaxon singers, but your voice recall me Mick Jagger sometimes.

Ok, now I got Robert Plant, MICK JAGGER, Randy Newman and Elvis Costello. Thanks Caloo!!

I see a very white bright light and a tunnel and a very pleasant looking fellow in a long beard beckoning me to follow him into the shaft of light, that leads towards, something that looks like a...wait...a stairway...yes, and there is a lady there..

Ok, guys, it's been real. Thanks for the props! Catch you on the other side!!! Thank you BIAB. You are heaven after all!!!!!!

Nice energetic song - good lyrics. Agree with Floyd vocals could be more up front with less reverb.
Really well written.

+1, I agree with this. Nice write . I would have used less vocal effects and brought it up a bit. Nice job, you're on a streak. tom

Great sound and power on this.
The best song by you.

Perhaps a nice guitar solo is missing but is only my thought.

David, great energy, great enthusiasm, great spirit!! This one grabs you from the first beat. Wonderful use of all those exclamatory phrases (whatever you would call them). Personally, I'd like to hear the vocal a little dryer, more up front. Really love this tune!! Take care. Greg
