Dave & Chris,
Nice opening - both the drums AND guitar!
Chris' vocals get better with each new song - so strong, so confident... this is superb - spine-tingling...
Dave, your leads seem to sing more and more with each new release. Gorgeous!
The mix is impeccable.
Awesome listen.
fj YES!!!! I was hooked from the first KICK!!!.....could feel it reverberate in my gut!! As Floyd said, Chris is really killing it, and the guitar riffs are SWEET AS HONEY!!! Great stuff guys!! Take care. Greg

Boy do I like this. First the backtrack has such a cool feel to this. Chris's vocal was excellent. Lots of emotion to the vocal. That Hammond was very neat sitting in the back. Love the way it props up the song. You guitar was fabulous. Weaved in and out of the backtrack. So cool. Well done Chris and Dave... Love the story of how you put the song together. Very creative and original music... I used two instances of the B3, one normal and one set to simple, and then brought one in or the other depending on what the song needed at the time. I do that quite often with organ tracks, gives you a bit more control that way. Thanks, Scott, happy you liked this one!

I like the blues music. I love this track! I adore the vocals. It's such a joy listening to this song.
Is Christiane Spruit the name of the vocalist? She is absolutely amazing.
Will Hi Will, I'm glad you liked this one! Yes, Christiane (Chris for short) is the vocalist. She also writes most of the lyrics and plays piano on some of our songs. We have been working together since 2015 and have done 30+ songs together so far.

The last few songs I've used stereo delay on the vocals, and I think it was you that turned me onto that a while ago  That Reaper video I discovered and posted a little while back was great. Until then, I never appreciated just how effective slapback delay was on vocals. I'm glad you got some use out of it! It's helped my work, too.

Wow - is this ever one solid tune Love the slow, gentle groove. And both the vocals and progressions were top notch. The whole thing flows like butter. Really easy on the ears, and nicely catchy as well. You should be proud of this one - thanks for sharing!

 Wow! Blues rock with some serious Motown soul thrown in. Wonderful combo! Your mixes have moved from good to good as it gets IMO. The drums are tremendous. I'm working with an organ SMT now but no way is it gonna sound this good. Chris's vocal is our favorite of many, many strong performance. Throw in your perfect guitar tracks and a fine write and it all adds to a killer tune. Y'all have set the piano on fire and walked off the stage! (Did I say that the last time? ) Congrats to the two of you! J&B

Scrolling through the comments, I see everything I could have said had already been written, so I'll just say: Wow. That was a treat.

"BlueAttitude"... Well, now, I guess we all know where you got that handle from !!! "How Can You Talk" is drenched, dripping, drowned, saturated, soaked, sopping and wringing-wet with the feel of "the blues". If the tempo had been any slower, our hearts would have stopped. This is a dark, dank, subterranean kind of blues that never sees the sun. It's like listening to a damned soul descending seemingly endless numbers of stairs to...the "hot" place.  !!! Seriously, though, "How Can You Talk" is heavy-duty musicianship, "BlueAttitude". The heartbreak in the lyrics is amplified mercilessly by the slow-drag rhythm, by your despairing, "grinding our faces in it" guitar work, the doom-laden bass line, and Ms. Spruit's unleashing of her misery through her vocal. That B3 organ RealTrack didn't hurt, either, as it brought forth the church (hearin' ya' loud an' clear, "Tangmo"!!!) congregation into the mix - amen, amen, brothers n' sistuhs!!! So good, it's "ba-a-a-a-d to the bone"! LOREN (a.k.a. "bluage") That has to be possibly the coolest review we have ever received! Thanks for taking the time to do that, enjoyed reading it. Dave (a,k,a, "BlueAttitude")

Wow guys, this is something else!
Everything you'd expect from a bluesy song.
Strong vocals and an absolute top notch guitar work (love that Strat sound!).
Rob and Anne-Marie Yeah, can't beat a strat for blues in my opinion. Thanks guys! Touches the soul down and deep. Beautiful! Thanks Donna, Happy you liked this one!

Dave & Chris,
Yes to all the above accolades! Chris` vocals are clearer than ever here ( minimal effects needed, but that double or delay just adds a shine where its needed).The bridge is a lesson in how to do it right.
Better on the second listen!
Robert
