That was a fun listen! laugh

I'm always happy to hear the blues, and everything, from the lead guitar to the raspy vocals, worked well to build the feel.

The backing harmonies were cool, and the pauses were super-effective.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Wow! Bravo! Love it!

Ok, so I'm not exactly articulate in my choice of words of praise, haha ... but, seriously, the underlying beat and rhythm of this piece is wonderful ... your singing is great and, well ... it just works! So professionally done, too ... the rhythms are tight and crisp, the sound quality is excellent ... and, most importantly, it had me tapping along from beginning to end! Hats off from me! :-)

IMHO this is your best to date.


Hi Mario, thanks for your nice words! Especially what you said about the vocals. I hope it won't stay my best song...

Hello Peter, that's a nice compliment you gave me. I'm beginning to believe my voice isn't too old and raspy to make songs. Thanks for that!

Like I already wrote in my e-mail I really like this one a lot. First of all it's a blues tune so I am attracted anyway. But this one is one of the really good ones, so I couldn't help but like and enjoy it a lot.

Great backing track (how come you always are so successful in finding the perfect ones?) - nice lyrics and passionately sung - couldn't ask for more, I guess.
Really, really well-done, Hans,
Gezond blihven, hoor !

Groethes,
Stefan


Hi there, Stefan, thanks for your kind words, but I am not succesful in finding those backing tracks, it's creativity, man. You have to work hard to create these things! I am kidding a bit, although..., not too much. But as you know, it's the fun of making music with a big help from BiaB that does this to me. And to you too as I know!

Für Maha und du, gute Gesundheit und sehr schöne Ostertage, (Translation: have a nice time)
Hans

My very best to you,

Hi Deej, this was very nicely said of you. Feels good if someone calls your song 'hot'!

I wish you happy Easter, but be careful with those eggs...

Hi David, I'm very pleased with your compliments on the song. I promise to do some more Blues this year. It's not only fun to listen to, it was really fun making this song. I like these kind of songs very much, although I like to try other styles as well.

Wow Musician, that is some compliment. Thank you very much! But those words increase my tendency to tease (to hide my blushing I suppose) by saying 'of course I can see it isn't easy for you to find proper words of praise about this great song', but I will stay humble and only thank you again for your nice words ;-)

Nice Easter you all,
Hans

Love the blues and this is one is absolutely entrancing, Hans. That chorus brings this to a whole new level that leaves many blues songs in its dust. Great vocal and story. Love the drive.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Hi Marty, that's most kind of you, this reaction on the song! And the chorus...It was just a creative idea to do something different. And it worked out well!

Hi Bob, I sure hope I have something special here. The amount of reactions don't look that way, but I know I have to be patient and also this forum is too crowdy with good new songs. But don't get the impression I'm am disillusioned. I am happy with your reaction and I will cherish it...

Thank you both and happy Easter,
Hans

Hi Torrey, nice to read your compliments! a lot of 'posters' complimented me on the vocals in the chorus too!
I'm really happy it worked out so well.

Hello beatmaster. It is great to read I blew someone away. You described that event very expressively! especcially what you wrote about the vocals...
And yes, all was from BiaB, except some compressors and reverbs. But BiaB has really (some) good stuff to work with! No, it's really a great piece of software.

So thank you both for your comments on the song,
Hans

We love the blues and a blues shuffle is our favorite so you made this
one very easy to like!

The RT's sound great as does the mix and, man, your vocal fits this
perfectly. Lots of blues soul in your voice.

And a good write also.

Everything is cookin' and we enjoyed it!
