This is a pretty standard 12 Bar Blues. It was my first attempt at arranging horns so it is pretty simple using horn loops. Excuse the lengthy guitar solos. I got carried away since I haven’t had my Tele in 6 months as I only took an acoustic on my camping trip out west. As I’ve said before, for me it all starts and ends with the blues… RealTracks : 386:Bass, Electric, Blues Chuck Sw 102 RealTracks : 2889:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm FolkBluesSlowShuffleMike Sw 085 RealTracks : 653:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm TexasBoogie Sw 140 (B:classic) RealTracks : 425:Organ, B3, Background Blues Sw 120 RealTracks : 385:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Blues Chuck Sw 102 RealDrums : BluesRockShuffle^1-a:Snare, HiHat , b:Snare, Open HiHat Royalty Free Loops Recorded in Logic Pro X Plug Ins : Nectar 2, Neutron 2, Ozone 8, Tonal Balance, Waves LinMB, Waves, L3-LL Multi Limiter, Logic Pro Metering, Scuffam Amps S-Gear, Waves Vocal Rider, CLA Vocals, Waves BB Tubes Electric guitar, Vocals, Tom Adams https://tommyadamsmusic.com/track/3256447/really-into-the-blues https://on.soundcloud.com/xYvh3 Really Into The Blues I asked her out to a tribute for BB King She said I don’t know he’s just not my thing It’s such a shame I spent all my money I’m telling you man she was one fine honey She left me standing there all alone After she shut me down I just headed home Two weeks later when I wasn’t so down I told her Joe Bonnamassa’s coming to town I got two weeks pay coming my way So mark it on your calendar and save the date She said first you try sell me on BB King Well I’m sorry but Joe B’s just not my thing I heard it in the neighborhood she changed her ways But if I keep on chasing her I’m gonna need a raise she fooled me once she fooled me twice I was never good at following my own advice I heard she likes a guitar man and now I’m confused They say the word is now she’s really into the blues © 2022 Thomas Adams

Hi Tom,
Yeah this right up my alley also - terrific blues!
I particularly liked your lead guitar work - smokin'
One comment re the Brass - you have a stab on beat 1 of bar 1 and that is cool. However typically you play/sing on bars 1 & 2 and the Brass replies on bars 3 & 4 and so on throughout each verse. This is particularly the case when playing lead guitar. Easy to change in your DAW if required.
Mix - I liked the upfront lead guitar and upfront vocals - this is how Blues are mixed.
Great work - look forward to the next one.
Best Regards
Nigel

Enjoyed this from start to finish.

Yeah, what a great band, and a great blues song, Tom. You sound like you belong on Alligator Records. Man, you mention so much good music in the lyrics, and your voice is just perfect for the genre. Those horns are awesome. Loops?!? Damn, that guitar sings sweet sounds in your hands. Way to tell your tele you missed her, and she says the feeling is mutual. Listened both on SoundCloud and your website to see which sound if any was better. Sorry, I got waaay too lost in the goodness to tell. I once formed a band called Blues' Branches because every song stems from The Blues.

BB and Joe B... what's not to love about that?
Starts off full tilt right out of the gate and stays there.
Nice work on the horns.... I like this. Jukin tune.

Tommy, I love the blues and this is some kick @ss blues
Outstanding vocal and axe work mixed like they should be for a blues song
You lead was just the right length
Your addition of BB's horn section was brilliant
You belong on Alligator records
Loved it

Charlie Charlie, Thanks your comments are always appreciated, Tom Yeah, what a great band, and a great blues song, Tom. You sound like you belong on Alligator Records. Man, you mention so much good music in the lyrics, and your voice is just perfect for the genre. Those horns are awesome. Loops?!? Damn, that guitar sings sweet sounds in your hands.

Sorry, I got waaay too lost in the goodness to tell. I once formed a band called Blues' Branches because every song stems from The Blues. Marty, I was a big fan of Alligator. I had a bunch of their stuff. Bruce Iglauer made some coin off of me. Thanks for your nice comments. I'm glad you came around, Tom

Tom
Some excellent blues, loved the overall vibe and the guitar playing throughout was hot and excellent.
The horns sound good and add a nice bit of spice.
The vocals are as usual top notch.

This is great blues with great and fun lyrics. And just the tempo I love most for a blues. Don't worry about the solos, they're just part of a good blues. And, this is a pretty good solo you delivered here. Me likes a lot
