Dave & Chris,
An excellent no-messing-about rocker to close the year.I really liked the energy coming across.
The arrangement sounds simple, but the way your guitar moves forward and back is so well timed; the harmony on the chorus... its all in the details.
You guys always hit the mark!
Robert
Thanks as always for your support, Robert, we appreciate it!

What a great song to end the year with. A very WELL accomplished year for all involved. I always expect great songs, great tone, and great production whenever I see "Blue Attitude" as the OP. Once again, you delivered the goods.
I get you are into the blues; but would you consider changing your name here to "Hot Attitude?" I mean, this stuff is just that! Looking forward to your 2020 projects! Thanks, Caaron!

Exceptionally tight and well mixed. Chris delivers those lines with a smoky confidence. Dave, your guitar is a real pleasure to listen to. When she hands the song off to you, you don't disappoint, but own the thing rhythmically and musically. A wonderful backing for a wonderful pairing. Thanks, Tangmo! Good to see you here again.

Dave,
Well, that’s a heck of a way to finish the year . . . and another terrific vocal by Chris. Your guitar work slays as usual. For some reason this reminds me of a Heart song . . . it has an 80’s vibe to it that’s really engaging. Great work all around!
Kind regards,
Deej

Awesome production. I have a zillion Waves plug-ins but.....  For you guys we really need a template full of superlatives that we can post for your tunes...actually even before we hear the tune and still be accurate! Amongst much goodness we always note how perfectly you sit Chris' vocals and your guitars in the mix. Easy to say...hard to nail (at least for many of us). Chris' lyrics are never overwrought and like this one are so expertly crafted for her cool vocal chops. And your guitar? What more can be said...great playing and tone that is always tempered by an abundance of taste. Nice! J&B

Agree with the other comments about the polish, production quality, vocals, everything. It's all in perfect balance. Very good strong chorus phrasing too - catchy "Don't let go." I really like the way it swings and the way the guitar and vocals punch out those rhythms against the beat - it keeps the interest and energy very high.
Great, rock solid song. Thanks for the listen and comments, Ed!

What a tune! It's already been said, but this is just stunning in every way. Perfectly balanced and every quality of the song shines. The vocals are incredible and the it is perfectly catchy with an incredible groove. You should be proud of this one - thanks for sharing Thanks for stopping by, Derek!

Dave & Chris...
A big WOW.
The mix is SUPERB. Perfect. Everything sits JUST right. Vocal, guitar, bass, drums. Delicious. Professional.
Your guitar is to-die-for - tone AND playing.
I always love the sound you get on the bass. This is round and smooth and punchy. Special. How did you process that????
Love those drums! Not a kit I would have ever thought to even audition (but will now!). BIAB is worth the price for the drums alone - and most folks take little advantage of that... Thanks for showing this one off... MAN! they sound good!
A good Rock/Blues write. Catchy. Chris' vocal is... perfect. The harmonies are exceptional - really well synced... Sweet.
Loved it.

I agree 100% with your comments on the realdrums. When I first started using BIAB it was all midi. The first thing I would do when building a song was throw away the BIAB midi drums and build a new drum track using ACID Loops. I could easily spend a day working on a drum track. Man, when they first introduced realdrums it was fantastic, such a timesaver! Thanks as always, floyd, I really appreciate your support and so does Chris.

Hi Dave,
Now this is my kind of music!
Loved the guitar work and Chris's vocal is sublime.
Having a few hearing problems at the moment, so it's hard for me
to comment on the mix, but what I hear sounds great.
Very professional all round.
ROG.

Your guitar solo is K-A.
What a rolling rocker!
Great vocal --Chris is always right on the money.
The guitar work energizes this song and gives it powerful momentum.

Hi BA, What can I say that hasn't already been said. Absolutely love the drums and guitar - being both a drummer and guitarist I suppose that's understandable - but they are so good. Great sound too. Look forward to hearing more! Thanks very much, and nice to meet you on here!

Dave & Chris,
I am scared, you can not make a weak tune. Just make one for the sake of reference!
Excellent all the way! I wish our local radio would play tunes like this! Happy New Year to you and Chris and let 2020 be as fruitful as 2019 (maybe even better!). Thank you for sharing.
Misha.
Hi Misha, Well, your music is pretty special IMHO, I’m a fan. Best to you and yours also for 2020, looking forward to hearing your next project!

Hi Dave,
I missed this song I noticed. Very sorry for that! Especially because it is a very good bluesy rocker. a good beat, very nice solo and -of course- outstanding vocalperformance by Christine.
What can I say to let you learn from my critics? Nothing. It's just a very good song. It has everything in it. i can only learn from you how to mix my songs...
Hans

Nice groove. This is some good stuff. You are getting the vocal right. Easy to hear and understand and it sets nicely in the mix.
The guitar: nice playing and that tone sounds like a straight up humbucker into a 50w or less tube amp cranked up to the edge but not over the top. Just curious.... what is the setup? I do like that tone. Just the right amount of grit in the speakers.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Hi Dave & Chris,
I can't remember any of your productions that I might not have liked a lot, but I like this one an AWFUL lot. Great song, fantastically sung, Chris!!!!.
Excellent playing, Dave, your guitar sounds wonderful. As does the whole thing - really ear candy.
And you know what: I just bought that WAVES bass plug-in (at the moment itÄs only 30 $), because the bass is sounding so good.
Very well done !!!!!!!
All the best for 2020,
Stefan Thanks, Stefan! Have fun with the CLA Bass plugin, it's a good one. I also recommend CLA Drums (I use it on almost every song), CLA Guitars (likewise), CLA Unplugged (I use it on pianos and acoustic guitars), and CLA Vocals. I don't use CLA Vocals as much as I used to, but used it on the BG vocals on this song.

Hello Dave,
I installed CLA Bass yesterday and it's really good - thanks for the hint. Just bought Waves Vocal Rider which is highly recommended and might solve my personal problem of singing too dynamically (if you want to express that fact euphemistically...).
Gonna check out the other plug-ins you mentioned soon, too.
Have a nice weekend,
Stefan
