Hey Tom,
America roots, love it. That bass is the bomb, and you left a lot of space in the instrumentation, really effective.
Are you playing the bass. That is expert playing imo, the space between notes is perfect, that tritone slide is so hip, great bass groove with the drums and rhythm guitar.
Your voice is great, you're a blues man. And sweet guitar playing.
Digging it. Hey Frank, the bass is loops. Thanks for stopping by and giving it a spin, Tom

Ooh boy. This is different gravy. Superb writing, superb production - a really "gritty", "proper" Blues song, so professionally done. Bravo. Thanks so much for the very kind words, Tom "I took her out for dinner she said man you’re out to lunch" That's a line that'll grab ya right from the get go! How cool ... we love that funk edge around the blues. A story that no doubt many have gone to bed with  We never fail to be drawn in by your soulful vocals and this is no exception. You make me wish I knew the "loop way!" The write, the excellent performances on vocals and guitar would serve alone to make this a great song. But, man, when you wrap it up with a classic tommyad mix and mastering it just takes it over the top. A showcase for the showcase. J&B Now that made me laugh. The story of empty beds! Thanks once again for the wonderful review,Tom

"I took her out for dinner she said man you’re out to lunch"
After that opening line, it didn't really matter what came next, I was hooked!
And hey, man, those are some serious riffs - most excellent.
Terrific all around!
Scott
Scott, thanks for coming around and commenting. I appreciate it,Tom What's left to be said. Brilliant, love the blues, especially like this. Thanks for the kind words,Tom Tom,
A Solid write. Blues on the "fun side"! A well developed story line.
Great tracks. A good mix (of course). Vocal sits perfectly.
Your guitar is top-shelf. Delicious tone. Tasty playing. Hittin' all the right spots.
Worth many listens.

Thanks for the generous review, Tom

Good funky blues with clever lyrics that put a smile on my face. Great lead work. Nicely done. I’m glad you liked it,Tom Excellent, all around. Great mix, tasty solos, clever write, well-done vocals.  I've used up my three superlatives, and that's not enough for this song. David, those some very kind comments. Thank you, Tom
Tom, this is GREAT!
I love everything you do, but when you do blues .... blues is and always will be my favorite thing and you are just so damn good at it.
Love the funky groove you have going on. Drums sound awesome as does the bass, and man, just killer guitar work!
Great lyrics and vocal, and as always, the mix is as good as it gets.
Enjoyed very much!
Dave, I was hoping you would like it. On the guitar parts , as soon as I put down the pick and attacked it with my fingers ,I got what I was looking for. Thanks, Tom

Hi Tom,
I had to smile listening to these funny lyrics and your very enjoyable song.
Well... I have to correct myself. The lyrics weren't funny but painful. However, the good thing is that you can make very beautiful blues songs with these experiences. And you have proven that in a more than credible way.
Enjoyed listening,
Hans

Man I'm loving it. From the drum intro to the drum roll there in the middle.... tasty stuff and innovative.
I enjoyed the listen. Very cool how you used just a few tracks from BB/RB for the organ.
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.

Great lyrical hook: "And left me at the diner having breakfast with the blues." Your guitar playing is smoking. I could listen to it all night! The persona in this song sure picks the wrong women.
