What a quality production! The vocals are sumptuous. Everything about this is an aural grabber.

Rockin ROG, this had me in the groove right off the bat. Great write and the vocals are excellent. Good job on the production as usual. Loved it, Tom Hi Tom, As I've said before, always pleased to hear your opinion. Many thanks for looking in on this one and the positive comments. Cheers, ROG.

I really enjoyed listening to your little rocking tune about your love affair...
Those drum samples sound great as they propel & keep this song in motion...
Great work on this one! Hi JIm, Thanks for the review - much appreciated. Those drum samples have been built up over the past thirty years or so, and the early ones are actually 8 bit! Pleased that you enjoyed the song and thanks for the comments. Cheers, ROG.

Great work on this ROG, what a marvelous song I might say! This sounds very full and I really dug the chord progression. The vocals harmonize well with the other instruments. Well done! Hi Joe, It's always nice to get a review from the "staff" - many thanks for looking in and for the kind words. Cheers, ROG.

What a tune! Definitely picking up some Beach Boys influence here, which is always a good thing in my books. Very summery and warm, and the harmonies are perfect. Definitely a California cruising tune. You should be proud of this one - thanks for sharing 
Cheers,
Deryk

wow, what a fabulous sounding rhythm section and on these little cheap panasonic headphones - I'm listening through a tablet - not easy to pull off with such definition. So big kudos just for that.  Cool doubling on the vocals and harmonies too. Great job. Much enjoyed.

A sexy song about a car
I love it!
"good in every way" describes this song
nice vocals
that bass line should be a RT
enjoyed the heck out of it,
Kenny Hi Kenny, That's very kind of you, especially the comment about the bass line - maybe I'll have a go at that! Many thanks for the review. Cheers, ROG.

Outstanding good song!
Very good and fitting choice of instruments. Very well mixed - it sounds incredible good!
It is one of those tracks which reminds me about how much I still have to learn in order to reach your standard!
Thanks so much for sharing!
Will Hi Will, Many thanks for the listen and all the nice comments - much appreciated. Cheers, ROG.

ROG,
Wow! This is kept me awake!
Very refreshing! Such unusual airy and yet tight mix.
P.S. Is that Marimba in background?
Thank you for sharing this nice gift!
Misha.
Hi Misha, It's not actually a Marimba, but there is a percussive synth backing up the bass line, which is what I think you're hearing. You obviously have good monitors and good ears! Many thanks for the review. Cheers, ROG.

Boy do I love the bass runs in this song. Very cool vocal. This is an excellent song. Got a Traveling Wilburys vibe on this. Maybe a little Jeff Lynne. Well done..

Great vibe, great sound!! I'm a '57 myself. I think Queen has a song "I'm in love with my car"...knew many people myself who had a passion for fine autos. Great song!! Love the sax, and vocals are perfect! Take care. Greg

Bit late to the party.
What a great track! I think we've all lusted after some car or other in our lifetime. For me it was the very first Lotus Elans.
Love the song (chorused vocals?) and those horns are terrific but the guitar work is superb - those creamy,wailing infills are awesome.
It really thumps along.
Cheers
Ian Hi Ian, I remember the Lotus Elan very well, but the one I wanted was the Lotus Europa, even though my father said it looked like a squashed van! Never got one, sadly. At the time I was struggling to run an ageing mini. Hey, glad you liked the song. Chorus on the vocals? Well yes, sort of. If you're ever in a position to splash out on just one expensive plugin, then get the Eventide H3000 Ultra Harmoniser. That's what put the stereo onto the vocals without it sounding too electronic. Back in the day I had a hardware Eventide 949 Harmoniser which was fabulous when it actually worked, but it was only mono and involved a lot of track-bouncing. The new plugins are excellent and very versatile, but a bit addictive, so only do the free evaluation if you can afford one! Anyway, many thanks for the kind review especially about the guitar - coming from an excellent guitarist that's worth even more. Cheers, ROG

You had me hooked right from the start with that great groove. Loved everything about this, great song, great performance, killer mix.
Totally pro all the way, well done. Hi Dave, Many thanks for the review and all the nice comments. Cheers, ROG.

It was 1962. My parents owned a '57 Bel Air. I took my driver's license exam with it and fell in love with it. Later I fell in love with another 1957 car. Janice's maiden name is Carr This is one of those songs that does not require any "entry period" or thought. It just grabs you and you're off for a great ride! This is a fine rock song and has a fun, infectious groove that also has a cinematic feel to it. It would work wonderfully in a cool movie of the period. The arrangement is strong and the vocals...oh man they had Janice singing harmony on the first listen! Your performances (on all the instruments) and the RT's work together perfectly. The sax was a nice addition. We've been enjoying the spins and look forward to more! J&B PS: Janice says she'll order up her 57 in turquoise and white Hi there J&B, I just KNEW you would have driven one of those, Bud! Hey, thanks for all the nice things you said about the track - much appreciated. Janice - turquoise and white sounds good to drive around in, but too many syllables to sing! Thanks again, you two. Cheers, ROG.

Great vibe, awesome memories. The '57 Chevy was a beautiful car.
"Body by Fisher" if I remember correctly!?

I'm not into cars, but despite that, this is a great soulful pop song. Truly commercial sounding powerful mix, I wish I could create anything like it... nice horns and that bass line is a great hook. Excellent vocal harmonies.
Janne Hi Janne. Many thanks for the review and the kind comments - I think you're too modest about your own work though, you're producing some excellent tracks. Cheers, ROG.
