Wonderful smokey vocal. Terrific backing tracks. Those drums sound great. And you (once again) put that bass "right in the pocket!" Excellent mix. Everything right where it needs to be...
Dave - your guitar on this is SO lyrical... the best kind of guitar playing (I think). Awesome.
Another super song from the two of you.

Thanks very much, Floyd!
I spent more time than normal on the drum track, mostly experimenting with swapping in different kick drums and snares, and also experimenting with the mixer, mostly the pan and reverb settings, instead of relying on the presets that come with EZD2. In other words stuff I should have learned ages ago! And then fed that through CLA Drums.
For the bass I used CLA Bass and also the EQ module from Neutron2.
And of course thanks for the comments on the guitar!
Another awesome vocal and lyric from Chris. Your guitar tracks sound awesome as well. Very cool backtrack. Very cool mix. Song had a live feel to it on my monitors. WEll done..
Thanks for the listen and comments, Scott, happy you liked this one!
Dave and Chris, I echo Johns sentiments about the lead work and tone....fantastic!! A great "blue" tune that Chris's voice is perfect for! The song just has a vibe that reaches way down in the listeners soul! You both are pro's in my book! Thanks, Torrey
Dave & Chris Very catchy and full of great sounds, yet listens very easy without any residue. Got this special vintage vibe, which takes very special skill and magic to create. Everything from music to production is A+ Title is a killer! Enjoyed it much!
Thank you for sharing!
Misha.
"vintage" comes easy for me 'cause I am also vintage
What is that chord hit about "fight" in the first verse and held? Maybe it's just its place in the progression, but it is ugly pretty. Tangmo likes. This is well put together and the leads and vocals play very well together.
Already sent the chord info via PM, but will include here in case anyone else wants to know.
What a tune! You can hear the joy put into this. A really energetic and well textured tune. The guitar tones are stunning and pair with the vocals backing tracks beautifully.
A solid write and really great song all around - thanks for sharing
Happy you liked this one, thanks Deryk!

Very nice, Dave and Chris! Great job on the vocals, and I love the guitar work on this. At times, your guitar lead has a little bit of a Phil Keaggy feel to it. Just about as high a compliment there can be for a guitar player, if you are not familiar with Keaggy. Really enjoyed this.
Steve
Thanks very much, Steve, a high compliment indeed!
You and Chris have certainly set the bar high on the forum with this one. I'm a huge fan of the AABA format and it suits this presentation so, so well. As floyd has already mentioned, your guitar playing is lyrical, like singing. It's like a duet between you and Chris's sizzling singing.
I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS PRODUCTION!
All the best, Noel
Yes, I use the AABA structure, or variations, quite often in our songs.
Thanks for your very kind comments. Noel, I appreciate it!
Well we listened several times on SC so that we can add it to our favorites playlist But we will also listed on RN.
We like floyd's description of "smokey vocal," yeah!
And your guitar is simply sublime.
EVERYTHING including the arrangement, the write, the performances, RT/RD choice and the mix is excellent.
You two definitely have a signature sound...one always immediately knows that it's BlueAttitude BUT your blues rock tent is very big and you incorporate a lot of other genres and subtleties into your productions.
Could go on and on but had rather check out the RN version!
J&B
Thanks as always guys!
Your comments mean a lot to me, and also Chris, I forward them to her.
The vocals & guitar work are very sensual & beautiful while describing the heartache of the lyrics... You & Chris certainly make a dynamic songwriting & performance combination... Good job on this one... I enjoyed listening to it!
Thanks for the listen and comments, Jim!

Kudos on the mix! Again ... WOW! Wishing both of you the very best ...
Alan
Thanks, Alan!

I just caught up with this one tonight. Love it. Great song and vocals by Chris. Dave, I would kill to play guitar like that. Great stuff. Cheers, Mike
I just saw Robin Trower in San Antonio. This song and the guitars and vocals would fit right in on one of his albums! Moody and evocative. The mix is superb! I would like the hear the vocals just a touch higher in the otherwise wonderful mix.
Your guitar playing is so musical! Love it!
And the song could be twice as long and I would cherish every minute of it!
This was great all around, I especially liked your solo. I felt the vox needed to come up some, but nobody else mentioned it so it must be me. Still enjoyed it as is. Excellent work!

Robin Trower!!
Man, I bought his Bridge of Sighs album when it first came out in the early 70's and wore it out. Also got it on CD when CD's first came on the scene. One of my favorite albums of all time!
You might be right about the vocal. I'll get back to it at some point and have another listen, I'm in the middle of a new song at the moment and don't want to be distracted.
Thanks Lawrence, you made my day with your comments

Lawrence also thought the vocal is too low, could be. I'll get back to it at some point, I almost always come back to a mix after a few weeks with fresh ears and hear something I missed the first time.
Exceptional guitar bits between the verses, and of course, the solo. They fit so seamlessly into your song. (I'm sure I've mentioned this before in your songs.) Melody and singing is quite enchanting. Very enjoyable to sit back and listen to.
