Marty & Dave
Fun, light spirited tune. Excellent playing from both of you. Unexpected cool intro, makes you dive into the tune from first seconds. Excellent vocals, harmonies and FX. Smooth listen. Enjoyed it and thank you for sharing.
Misha.

Marty and Dave, what a helluva song, top shelf all the way.
Everything about this is top class musicianship.
Great vocal, guitar leads, lyrics, and mix.
Two thumbs up from one helluva man.

ACE.
The bvox are impressive.
Dave rings the bell - as usual.
A top package and a really well written, punny lyric. Yeah, about those BGVs... I cheated. The only time I had to record them was in the early morning. That, and the fact that I'm at least a step and a half older, made me desperate to do it. I just refashioned the low harmony track with Melodyne, and created the high guy. Man, you should hear that track by itself. Blended and hidden in the mix barely makes it passable. Hi Marty and Dave,
That was a helluva song, man!
And the same for the solo!
It is a very nice song, with lots of energy in it. Especially towards the end of the song. I liked that very much!
The mix itself is also very good (in my ears), so I think you have a winner with this song, a helluva winner!!
Hans
Ps: I wasn't able to get my compliments on Soundcloud, only a 'like' was possible. But a helluva LIKE! Thanks, Hans. That's a helluva nice comment. I wasn't sure how that ending was going to work out, so thanks. Marty,
Everything you put out is always done so well! You are an excellent song writer and one of the best bassists around. That bottom end always does the job and sounds good! Great vocals and you can never go wrong with Dave on guitar...you both are pro's!!!
Thanks, Torrey Thanks, Torrey. What a huge compliment to one of your biggest fans. Marty,
That’s a helluva hook! Great write, wonderful arrangement and production. Love the harmony on “Don’t look down”—very cool. Dave’s guitar solo slays—just perfect for the song. Excellent collaboration, gents. Great listen!
Stay safe, stay well, both of you.
Deej Thanks so much, Deej. In the video I like how the owl looks down when told not to. You're so right about Dave. What a talent.

 No doubt you are a helluva man ... but hopefully not as depicted at the end of the video  Upbeat FUN sums up this entire production. Sometimes cool is, well, really cool -- not perfunctory -- and this is it! Lyric, vocals, video, band, Dave's axe, THAT bass and the mix are all hittin' the note. As Janice said, we hope you enjoyed making it as much as we enjoyed watching and listening. J&B

Hi Marty, that's the kind of song one simply can't escape from. It's HUGE fun. Getting a love song together which is sparkling with such easeness is something I absolutely admire. The lyrics are sooooo nice and you sing them with such merriness, that there's no doubt that you must be one of the luckiest guys araound. And I think I know who this song about And it definitely sounds great - fine backing track, well mixed. Love it ! Take care of that heavenly woman, you helluva guy. Stefan

Nice (country) rocker. I went with the video (I like the videos you do).
Gold star lyrics:
"You're such a heavenly woman, I must be a helluva man"
That's a hook line that half of the writers in Nashville would give their left legs for.
Dave sounded outstanding. The band knew the tune well.
Good one.
Thanks, jptjptjpt. So glad you got hooked. Those Nashville cats are likely all good hoppers. Yes, Dave did an amazing job, especially considering this is not his style. nice song...cute vocal hooks.
really liked the arrange of the ending.
good lyrics.
i detect you had lots of fun in this one.
best
om Om, m'man. Thanks so much. And I have a ton of fun listening to your humorous wit, too. Very cool lyric Marty. Loved the backtrack. Super vocal. Loved how Dave weaved in at out around the vocal. His solo was outstanding. Just love your waling basslines. Lays such a cool groove to the song. Well done Thanks a lot, Scott. I can't say enough about Dave. Sounds like you had a lot of fun creating this enjoyable track. It fires on all cylinders, and smoothly at that. Very catchy chorus. Well done. Thanks, Ghostgum (and I love that handle by the way). Hey Marty, good stuff. Dave did some really good guitar playing. Fun song!
Billy Thanks, Billy. Yes he did.

What would be the point in analysing this? It's wonderful from every technical and musical aspect, AND you've put a massive smile on my face. Why analyse any further? Bravo :-)

Misha. Thanks, Misha. The challenge for me on that abrupt beginning was removing the count-in. hehe. Marty and Dave, what a helluva song, top shelf all the way.

Two thumbs up from one helluva man.

Haha, Mario. You are a devilish dude. THANKS!! This is a great write. Great set of lyrics and lots of melodic hooks.
Vocal is superb.

Loved this one. Hit material. Thanks, Scott!! Very encouraging comment. Helluva song, Marty. Really enjoyed it. Great vocal and Dave's guitar is excellent, as always.

Thanks so much. You are so right about Barb being the object of my affection, and she IS an amazing angel to so many. Mother Theresa had nothing on her except the habit. The lyrics in this song, however, are more about the tragic mistake I could've made if I didn't find her.  Thanks to everyone that mentioned my small part in this very cool song, it's always a pleasure to work with Marty. You're welcome, Dave. I must have mentioned how brilliant your contribution was many many times here and elsewhere. Your ability to play so many different styles is extraordinary. Tee-hee-hee :-))) SUPERB!!!!! Bravo!!! :-)

Hey Marty - Dave, too ...
A fun song that made my ears smile - not easy to do, ya know! Great lyric, band and production. And Dave mentioned earlier his was a "small part". That great guitar playing is, by no definition, just a small part tasty! Two pros doping super-pro work. Best to both of you ...

Marty, YOU WROTE A SING-ALONG !! You know how hard that is !! So cool to write something like this. A lot of folks have tried to write a sing-along but you nailed it on this. If I was singing this I would call everyone out when I got to the hook and invite them to sing along. Cheers man. Good Job !!
