Dave's mood matching solo, the colorful and expressive vocals mixed well, the excellent backing band, nothing to complain on this railroad ride. And the woodblock was almost the best part, nice addition wink

Janne


Thanks for your in-depth comment, Janne. Haha. That woodblock is the fuel.

Good-time rock'n'roll Marty.
Your vocals and bass work perfectly, topped off by Dave's wonderful guitar work. Woodblock was good too.
Cheers,
Mike

Loved your midnight train, man!

Great song, really engaging - nice photos as well.

The bass and Dave's guitar were superb.

Excellent all round work.

Thank you, Peter. Stayed up nights for weeks practicing that woodblock riff.

Toe-tappin' fun. Much enjoyed.

Thanks for all you do, Floyd. Glad you liked it. Dave's guitar is always smokin'.

Haha, Thanks, Tangmo. I'm often more specific when I cuss.

Thanks, jptjptjpt. It was a fum ride. Glad you hopped on.

Another great one from 2/3 of Blue Attitude. Good song, well sung. Killer guitar, of course. Lyrics are the icing.

Hi Marty,

This is a terrific listen!



Your vocals sound perfectly fine to me! In fact, your sound suits the style like icing suits a cake. I love the laid-back feel from both your presentation and BIAB's handywork. That line about a "one-track mind" made me smile and laugh smile

Also, getting Dave to join in the fun was an awesome choice. His guitar work is always the stuff of legends! There's a 100% nice synergy happening between your song and his playing.

All in all, I enjoyed this immensely.

All the best,
Noel

Haha. Wonderful, just wonderful. You inject every song of yours that you create with a certain joie de vivre which seems to be unique to you. That's what carries each song across the line - from good to great and from great to wonderful, I think. I couldn't stop tapping my foot, in any case! Keep creating!

Marty,

The train whistle with bass (or guitar?) in the intro is wonderful.
Excellent vocal!
Dave's guitar fits this perfectly.
Very nice blues!
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.
