Wowzer!
Janice first mentioned a Martin Scorsese blues special we watched years ago where, Lulu (surprisingly) just knocked us out. I think the song was Drown In My Own Tears. The passion of that vocal and Chris' are very similar.
Chris' writes are always perfect for her vocal. If they were more wordy then her soul would not get a chance to shine!
And speaking of soul and shining, man, that guitar....mesmerizing.
Regarding the mix, FWIW, we've found that sometimes the fewer the tracks the harder it gets. Everything is so stark with 3-5 tracks. BUT when it works it's very special. And this works!!!
J&B
Thanks as always Janice and Bud! You guys are the real deal in my book, I always appreciate it when you stop by

Excellent overall song - lovely passionate vocals - superb guitar. The mix sounded good to me and you two never disappoint.
Great work.

What a tune! The guitar work on this is tremendous, and the vocals are so passionate. You really feel the song in your soul, and can tell it's from a sincere place. Delightfully catchy as well, and the mix job is top notch. You should be really proud of this one - thanks for sharing
Cheers, Deryk

Strong message, strong and vulnerable interpretation, great BIAB and your lead guitar. Just recently listened your Blue Line album and this song is on the same high level as those on the album.

Interesting - I was battling with a floor tom ringing loudly on a side in sympathy with the kick drum just a couple of days ago. I thought that it may be the only RealDrum with that issue - clearly not. I also discovered that the ringing, when masked by bass et., actually enhanced the click of the kick - makes no sense but experimentation proved it to be so. The song is fabulous, the guitar licks are strong and purposeful. Mix wise, the lead guitra could sit closer to centre or pop over to the other side a little to balance the keyboards. Christine writes and sings lovely blues ballads. Morning Ray, I'm not hearing conflicts between the tom and kick here, but I know you have better ears than me. Bottom line is if I can't hear it I can't fix it. I've addressed the mix issues you and floyd mentioned, thanks for that. When I mixed I was getting over a cold and might left ear was not working as good as my right, hence the balance issues. A smarter man would have waited to release the song until his ears were back to normal I suppose Happy you liked the song and thanks as always for your detailed comments!

Chris and Dave, really enjoyed "I Turn To You". Effective use of BiaB, excellent lead guitar, and Chris's vocal style and performance fits the song perfectly. Almost wish the vocal was more forward/prominent in the mix. But as presented, it's still a winner in all aspects. Bravo!

What a great song this is! Love the vibe on this, it all just fits so nicely. Man..that's a smok'n guitar. Vocals .....she's got this one nailed. Bring up the vocals a bit and it's a hit.

Thanks for stopping in, Captain! I've updated the mix once since the original post, not sure which one you heard. Vocals are almost where they need to be at this point I think. I still need to do some volume automation on it and I'll do that on the weekend.

Yeah! Blues! Guitar comes in with a strong statement. Vocals play off against the organ nicely. But... To my non-professional ears, the vocals seem buried by the instruments. Love the change in the drum at 2:10. Excellent singing and guitar, as usual. Vocals out front! Yeah! Dang, this sounds sooooo good! Thanks for listening twice, David! Yes, it's almost there now. Still needs a couple of tweaks but I'm in the middle of a different project at the moment.

Very cool song Dave. I loved the mix. Chris’s vocal was super. Love the blues. Your guitar was awesome as usual. Tone was perfect. Well done Thanks, Scott, I appreciate that! Guitar was terrific, loved it. Pro level song and singing. Can't ask for more. Thanks for the listen and comments! Dave & Chris, I like this, closer to traditional blues, as Dave mentioned "basic instrumentation" approach. I can hear more of you that way Listens very well! I would prefer vocals just a hint louder. Otherwise CONGRATS to both of you! Thank you for sharing. Misha. Hey Misha, not sure which mix you heard but I did bump them up a bit. Still need to add some volume automation but don't have time at the moment. Thanks as always for your listen and comments!

First time I hear this song... so I didn't hear the first version.
I think it is a perfect mix... and a wonderful blues tune. Wonderful vocal as well! I really, really enjoyed listening... thanks a lot for sharing this treasure of a song!

That's a good one Dave and Chris! Chris's voice always makes me think of Heart's Ann Wilson...Chris delivers a super vocal every time! Dave, your guitar is superb here! I like the way you mimic the vocal in places and the solo is a total killer! Thanks,Torrey I really enjoy adding fills around vocals, almost as much as soloing actually. Thanks, Torrey! Hi Dave and Chris,
You did it again! A very nice laid back blues. And of course Chris her vocals... Beautiful! But, having said all this there is one thing I have to mention and to ask; I agree with the others who mentioned Chris could have been mixed more upfront. That would give the song more depth, I think. The question is what made the mixing more difficult for you on this song, as you mentioned in the introduction? You always have very, very good mixing results as I hear all your very nice songs.
Hans Hi Hans, Mostly I lost track of where the song needed to be and started making unnecessary changes. Happens sometimes when I don't take enough breaks during the mixing session to rest my ears. I know better, but still do it sometimes :P I think the mix is pretty good now, still need to add some volume automation, but don't have time at the moment, I'm busy with another project. Thanks as always for taking the time to listen and comment, I appreciate it!

More sensational delivery from Christiane and yourself.
This drives perfectly on every beat.
The recording balance could not be better, every instrument perfectly placed.
Outstanding solo is the absolute icing...
Songs in the user showcase don't get better than this. Outstanding. Everywhere. One of the nicest reviews we have ever received, thanks, Trev! Dave & Chris
Blown away with the vocals ,guitar work and the mix , this sounds perfect on my side.
Pro stuff ..Again !!
Thanks I really appreciate that, thanks! Your guitar and her vocal kindles a killer combination.
And this song too is on fire.
I dig the organ. Good choice for this.
The ending is nicely haunting. Thanks for the listen and comments!

Dave and Chris,
Wow, so slick. Not much to say about this other than that it’s just . . . impressive, from first to last note. The accolades above say it far better than I can—and each is well deserved. Ditto, ditto, ditto!
My humble regards,
Deej
