Hey Tom,

You smoking, man! Dave summed this up better than I ever could have. Love the guitar accents behind the vocals on the stops - great idea!. What a great sound on your axe and that harmonica is so gritty good. Excellent!

How can a song this hot be so cool?

Alan

Thanks for all those great comments,Tom

tommyad,

The opening is terrific, just pulls you right in from the start . . . and it just cranks from there on. Really good! And like the hook a lot—real nice line. Just some classic, killer blues. You nailed this one!

My humble regards,

Deej

Thanks for coming by. I appreciate the listen and the fine review,Tom

All thumbs up (sorry I only got two of them).

Tom,

Wonderful slow shuffle blues!
I entirely agree with floyd.
Super guitar work on this! ALL the guitars work together. The Drums sound great. The organ has nice bite to it. The harmonica is a real standout, too - fit in nicely.
Good vocals, sitting "just right".
This is genuine blues.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Then there's the cool arrangement, the signature Tommyad great mix and backing tracks...the harp and organ guys sound like they've been playing with the guitar man for years.

Outa sight!!!

A big thanks for the wonderful review, Tom
