Latest from Christiane and myself: Take it easy on me The band:Drums: BluesRock12/8 Bass: 564 Organ: 2734 Piano/vocals/lyrics: Chris Spruit Guitars: Dave Bell Take it easy on me (Christiane Spruit, 2017) 1 Verse Close to the edge when the bad times come to crash I am tapping at the mask plead for guilty, may I ask Do I have to change the frame change the rules in a running game but I know it ain't the same well, it is hard for me to claim Chorus Take it easy on me Love don't treat me bad, this way Can you call out my real name? But I know it ain't the same Take it easy on me When I do not act decently some times begging some times steal Take it easy on me 2 Verse I do fall that easily feeling cold in the burning heat and the taste seems bittersweet close the door I trick and treat Do I have to take the blame making rules I can't explain but I know it ain't the same being a pawn in a waiting game Chorus Take it easy on me Love don't treat me bad, this way Can you call out my real name? But I know it ain't the same Take it easy on me When I do not act decently some times begging some times steal Leave a fortune, spin the wheel Comments as always are welcome! Still tweaking the mix a little, once it's done I'll upload over on soundcloud. P.S. I should mention that I used neutron on this song for the first time. It did a great job of fixing up a problem I had with the B3 masking out the bass. Great piece of software!

Oh Yeah! Long Live the Blues! I always love these minor chord based blues. Chris, great vocal, lyrics and piano solo. Dave, super guitar solo and the mix sounds really good with zero mud. Neutron works wonders. I am using it on most tracks now. You two have a good thing goin. Nicely done, Tom

Dave & Chris,
This has a great slow burn feeling.It might be the best vocal performance I`ve heard by Chris and that guitar solo is well worth the wait. As Tom says, you are quite the team.

Oh Yeah! Long Live the Blues! I always love these minor chord based blues. Chris, great vocal, lyrics and piano solo. Dave, super guitar solo and the mix sounds really good with zero mud. Neutron works wonders. I am using it on most tracks now. You two have a good thing goin. Nicely done, Tom Tom summed this up quite nicely. There's a certain "magic" sound to a minor blues. It just draws you in and you can't escape it. And this fabulous song does just that. Loved the raunchy lead guitar! Super song and delivery. Alan

Dave what are you using for guitars and effects. Scott, for the last few months I've been using the Shuffham S-Gear amp simulator. It was Tom Adams that turned me onto using it, and in my opinion it is the best one out there. On the guitar panned left I'm using tremolo (part of S-Gear) and I'm controlling it via an automation track within my DAW (reaper). The lead guitar is also going though waves CLA guitars plugin, bought it on sale a few weeks ago. I'm using that to add reverb and delay mostly. I used a strat for all the guitar tracks.

Great vocals here. Very nice song. It has a very vintage vibe to it yet edgy and modern at the same time. The guitar solo is superb as well.

What a tune! Very interesting panning going on here. The thing I found the most gripped was those vocals! They are hauntingly beautiful, and really have a unique, sincere quality to them. All in all, a wonderful tune! Sort of reminds me of a post-modern Pat Benatar. You really feel this one in your soul Great job, BlueAttitude!

good job all around! I enjoyed the listen!
I love all the cool stuff that BIAB can do, but I especially like it when people use it to build a background for their own performance, and that's what you've done here!

"I do fall that easily
feeling cold in the burning heat
and the taste seems bittersweet
close the door I trick and treat
Do I have to take the blame
making rules I can't explain
but I know it ain't the same
being a pawn in a waiting game"
It's hard to choose our favorite lines but the above will do. This is one of the rare tunes where everything is supportive and nothing just carried along by the stronger elements. The vocal and guitar performances don't let your attention stray for a moment. The production quality is top tier.
The song just soars and soars.....
Well done!
J&B

Peter Peter, happy you liked the solo! That was actually a one take placeholder so Chris would know where it was when I sent her the bed. My intent was to replace it, but decided I liked the feel of it.
