Every release seems to get better (if that is even possible).

Chris' writes are getting so in-the-pocket! Her vocals, too...

Marty's bass is awesome (details on how that is recorded?? it's impressive)

Dave - that might be the most "commercial" sounding lead you have offered up so far (a good thing in my book). Loved it. (Is this still S-Gear?? and is that direct into an interface?)

Top-shelf mix.

What more can be said???

Thanks very much, floyd!

I updated the song description with the details on how the bass and guitar were recorded and processed as per your request.

The female vocal surprised me (pleasantly)...



I can hear the Hendrix thing now that people have mentioned it, those little two note chord things he used to do.

Thanks very much for the listen/comments! Loved your latest, great vocal!

Extraordinary. Another perfectly produced number.

The balance, the vocals, the backings, the instrumentation is just simply world class.

What a great listen. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Could you share more about your microphone setup for the vocals? The quality of the recording is first class.

Very generous of you, Janne, thanks! I listened to a lot of Fleetwood Mac back in the day, one of my favourite bands.

You three have got it goin on now. All sound at the top of your game. This may be my favorite vocal from Chris and Mart’s playing brings everything to a higher level. Dave’s guitar work is always stellar. Really good stuff. Much enjoyed, Tom

Where to start? We listened to all three platforms and even my old ears felt that ReverbNation was more punchy, in a good way, than the others. But thanks for adding it to SC so we can then add it to our fav playlist smile The video was cool and we liked the emphasis on certain words and phrases.

Janice and I were discussing after the listen the paucity of lady blues rock singers. And we have to say that even if there were a lot of them out there Chris would top the chart. This is a fabulous vocal(s). And as always her lyrics are tailor made for the soaring vocal.

And speaking of soaring...man, that guitar is scorching. Great.

Somebody said y'all have added a bass player? smile Hard to beat a bass track like that...one that's played by somebody who clearly is listening to what's going on with the other tracks. So supportive.

And the drums, well, how about WOW!

And the way you used those RT's, another WOW!

And you mentioned Buddy Guy in a response. We've been fans for a long time.

Wonderful things happening here you three.

Brilliant sound guitar is minted, Although your bass player is highlighting this with excellent bass runs, vocals are excellent reminds me of Christine McVie Fleetwood Mac fame, and Ez Drummer.. well need to invest in this.

Thanks

Yes, started out very Hendrixy. Very good guitar comping and solo, listened a few times to great enjoyment. Chris is always nonpareil. Excellent work all around.

BlueAttitude,

Well, it was always a terrific duo . . . and now made even better with the addition of Marty. Love the tune—killer harmonies, perfectly mixed that really resonate. Just the right touch of reverb/delay. Yeah, this is a real sweet one. I don’t listen to the radio much anymore, but even then I can confidently say this is as good if not better than what I would hear. Congrats on the impressive collaboration!

My very humble regards,

Deej

Dave and Chris (and now Marty),
As usual, your work is top notch.
The song is strong, Chris's vocals are spot on, Dave's guitar sings and the band rocks (nice choice of guitar RealTracks too).
Thanks for sharing guys.
Mike

Loved it.


Thanks, Ray!

Yes, EZDrummer is a great tool. I've been using it more and more over the last couple of months, lots of options there to play with.

Great solo, very much in the Starship fashion and Chris starting to sound like Grace Slick. Wonderful.

Great bass from Marty underpinning an excellent backing track.

Loved the whole thing.

ROG.


Hi, ROG,

Starship is a band that slipped under my radar a little, although I listened to lots of Airplane back in the day. Love Grace Slick!

Thanks for your generous comments, appreciated!

Chris sings very well, of course, but she surpassed herself here.
The lead guitar plays marvelous and Marty surpassed himself with a strong bass guitar playing.
This is really one day in the sun!

Thanks, Hans!
