Torrey,
all is in its spot, (except maybe the hihat being a little too loud/splashy).
I was chatting to someone about this band today: they were big amongst my teachers college peers in the late 70s.
You ran their vibes with a little more oomph and that worked a treat.
As expected the musicianship is top notch.

Yeah, I can hear the "Dan" shining through it.

Nice work...seriously nice. Even the vox are Steelish in nature and sound.

That ending..... cool stuff.

Love it

Caught those Steely Dan vibes immediately. Excellent production, great performance. Those guitar solos were really smokin'. A top notch production.

Impressive! I do believe you've outdone yourself and that is no small feat. All the tones are so spot on and I loved the lyrics and the adlibs too.

Torrey Bliss...

Are you certain that you didn't release this song to the public years ago before you became the hit parade, Billboard Top 10 superstar performer you are now laugh laugh laugh ???

Man, as MC Hammer said in his hit song, "You can't touch this." I know I can't, at least. It's too hot. Might burn myself. From that 'get your a** on the dance floor' intro, to the cool-down ending, the song's got so much musical energy bursting out of it that it's the musical equivalent of watching a 747 flying low over nieghborhood rooftops.

Not only do you get your Steely Dan props, but you also channeled the late Robert Palmer by way of those sharp, blues-inflected growls and ad-libs you dropped into the track. Hell, while we're at it, I'll even give you some Bootsy Collins and/or George Clinton props on that tip!

Your musicianship is unimpeachable, period, like one-man-band, man. If it only took you fifteen minutes to write the 'throw-away' lyrics, then you've only raised the bar for yourself by yourself. Next time, you gotta do 'em in five, got it???

You know this is damn good, right? Come on, now. Don't be shy. Five stars, dude, and one more just to make it an even number.

Thanks Leon! I edited my post after you commented stating it was about Becker and Fagen! Those guys were musical geniuses that we can only try to emulate! This was my feeble attempt at that! T

The organ/piano/horns grooves are all well done.
Super guitar work.
Your vocals are terrific. Nice tight harmonies.
An excellent mix.

A very cool song. Worth many listens.

Music!

Ah.

Thanks for all of that Floyd!
I recorded the bass direct (hot input level) into my interface and the through a nice bass preset in GR5. The drums are DOD. I usually like to use the Realdrums because I feel they have a warmer sound but I needed that 4 on the floor beat that this set offered. T

Who's this? is it Torrey Dan or Steely Bliss?
This is terrific. A great tribute and a wonderful original song. Love the backing - the pumping bass is great.
You won't have to worry about getting any criticism about your lyrics; the whole Steely Dan catalogue is full of indecipherable lyrics.
Cheers,
Mike
