The Mighty River (Dave Bell, 2021)The mighty river wanders slowly, flowing free
It stops for nothing in it's journey to the sea
Just like the river flows from mountains in the sky
It's just the same for you and me
I see your smile, it brightens up my day
I love you more than any words can say
Just like the river can't be stopped along the way
My feelings grow, each and every day
The mighty river, it is strong and it is free, just like the love between you and me.
The mighty river, flowing to the sea, is stronger now, it was meant to be.Many thanks to my bandmates Marty and Chris for the support, you guys are the best! All comments welcome!

Dave & crew,
The intro guitar sounds classic and leads nicely into the warm sincerity of your vocal.
Chris delivers a beautiful backup vocal (the highlight for me is the duet "mighty river" passage).... and then comes your blistering solo.
A very cool tribute!
Robert

Dave - nice vocal and very nice backing by Chris.
Marty - great bass work throughout.
As expected some very tasty guitar work (loved the bends at 2.14)and an engaging melody.
Excellent work.

Nice work on this - loved the instrumentation here. Concise, and to the point, and all the vocals do a great job of making the other straight-forward lyrics seem larger than life.
A lovely tribute and fantastic song - thanks for sharing!

The intro reminded me of "Hey Joe". IMO the organ is stealing all the oxygen. BV's are great , beautiful guitar solo , good vocals which at times reminded me of Willie DeVille.
Sometimes Ozone is not kind to the engine room ( bass & kick drum) which could use a little more punch, but regardless, the playing is excellent. Nice heartfelt lyrics. Good song. Would love to hear it again minus the organ. I have my fingers crossed that I have not caused offence and in fact, I very much like this song.
cheers
Gary.

There is a danger with expansive tools like BIAB to try to do too much, but it takes an expert's hands to use just what is needed to deliver quality work, and I feel like that's true here. Nothing "fancy" with the orchestration that clouds the main components: vocal/lyric/solo-ing. The result is a work that completely hangs together, and the listener can focus on exactly what was intended, without distraction. Excellent all the way around.

Dave/Marty/Chris
A nice Love Song. Good choice of imagery (the river).
I like hearing your sing, Dave! Good BGVs throughout.
Y'all have a great sound. Marty's bass is always so buttery, Dave's guitar work always spot on and Chris BGVs the perfect icing.
Enjoyed.

Blue Attitude,
Always a pleasure to listen to your work. The harmonies are really sweet. The lyric does just what it needs to do, needs nothing less or more. Killer guitar solo (and work) as well. Very cool stuff!
My best to you all,
Deej

I like the guitar intro and the solo is ace.
The chorus has staying power.
If I'm not mistaken, I believe we have been hearing more of Dave taking the vocal reins lately.

A seamless package.
That voice is developing confidence and maturity with each outing - sounds excellent on this.
Bvox reminded me of Maggie Bell or Maddy Prior.
Bass - I wish I could play with the certainty, runs and tone of that man.
COOL.

Hi Dave,
A fabulously moody sound to this one.
Everything working well and together with great performances from everyone.
Loved the tone of the guitar on the intro and the solo was sublime.
Excellent.
