It's been a while since Chris and I did a blues song, so we thought it would be nice to start out 2018 getting back to the reason we got together in the first place. New blues from Dave and Chris: Chain and Ball The bandDrums: BluesRock 12/8 Bass: 1922 Organ: 2734 Mixed in reaper using plugins from Waves and Izotope, mastered with Ozone 8 and LMC. Chain and Ball (Christiane Spruit, 2018)Like a bird in the cage I am losing my faith There’s no easy way out Leaves me chained to the ground Like a chain and a ball like nothing at all You fill the free in me. I sleep near the door I am chained to the floor I feel home but bound Like I am tied to the ground I can hardly breathe I am in such a bad need You fill the free in me. You say that you need me And I know that you do But please don't you blame me I don't want you to do Like a chain and a ball I don't need that at all You fill the free in me. As always we appreciate any feedback. Edit: Just uploaded to soundcloud, here: https://soundcloud.com/blue-attitude/chain-and-ball

Dave,
Just great! A blistering blues piece - Chris's voice is tremendous - she really hits this one in all the right places. Also, your guitar is excellent throughout.
Loved it!

Chris & Dave,
HOT!
Bob said it well - hit all the salient points:
"Just great! A blistering blues piece - Chris's voice is tremendous - she really hits this one in all the right places. Also, your guitar is excellent throughout."
Chris' vocals seem to reach a notch higher with each new release. A little more confident. A little freer. (free-er?). She put a little "Janis Joplin" into that last verse. Nice.
Dave your guitar is on fire.
The mix is excellent. Everything in the right place. Nothing "gets in the way".
Sweet!
floyd

This song has got some serious attitude to it.  What more is there to say? Everything about this song is just *so* good. Great job, guys!
Cheers,

Some wonderful expressive playing and singing by Chris.Can you teach me the lick at 1.52?
Gary Moore would be proud of this one (bit of Jimmy Page near the end?).
Loved it!

Dave and Chris,
the very first thing that struck me as I clicked onto this was "Gary Moore would be smiling ear to ear if he were still with us." I'm a huge fan of his. Your tone and style remind me a lot of him.
I agree with Floyd's comment about Chris' voice - has a Janis Joplin aura to it.
Everything about this says "Smokin' Hot". What a great listen!!!! Best to both of you.

Dave, That's what I'm talkin bout. The mix is outstanding, a leap forward. The guitar and vocals are outstanding. Love the over the top bends. Your best post to date. Smoldering Blues done the way they should be done. Fresh out of the oven and red hot, Tom

Wow - this is stunningly good! I would not bat an eyelash hearing this on the radio among the classics. The mix here is nearly perfect. Not a single sound comes across as too loud, or too quite, or incorrectly panned. Not to mention - those vocals! Oh my goodness, those vocals are tremendous. I was loving that intro and tapping my foot along, but when she started singing that sealed the deal. Great work here - you should be proud of this! Thanks so much for sharing
Cheers,
Deryk

Dave,
Well that cut through the morning fog!
It takes quite something to get my eyes closing, goosebumps and hair standing up on blues tune... top shelf in all respects.

"just great! A blistering blues piece - Chris's voice is tremendous - she really hits this one in all the right places. Also, your guitar is excellent throughout." We'll also jump in with what Bob said. Deep simmering blues...make no mistakes...the real deal here. If you don't like this you don't have a blues note in your body. And you are leading an empty life Like Tom said "Fresh out of the oven and red hot..." Every aspect of the production is in the pocket. All of it. Our only regret is that we can't add it to our fav Soundcloud list! Smokin wonderful! J&B

floyd Thanks for your always awesome reviews, Floyd! It means a lot to both Chris and myself, she reads them as well. And thanks especially for the comments on the mix, I was hoping I got the drums loud enough
