I think I go with Marty's compliments. So well done!

Enjoy your day,
Hans


Thanks Hans! This was a total re-work of the song! I re-recorded my vocals and the high parts weren't easy for me because I was in the middle of having a bad cold. I don't use any pitch correction software though. Some of the parts still need to be done better! T

As always a top notch vocal and some really nice musical ideas.

The guitar sounds excellent and I really liked what you played throughout, very tasteful.

The licks are just one element of this tasty/tasteful tune.

You've your own Bliss Cadence and sound that marks a song as you.
Another tell tale sign is QUALITY.

Top stuff Torrey.


Thanks Ray! I have a feeling you are more skilled than you let on! You have proven you can get things done on bass and guitar and I take note how good your playing always sounds!

Misha


Thanks Misha! When I say it could be better. I'm talking about the vocals. I was struggling with a cold when recording this and some of the high notes need to be re-recorded.

As Janice just said, " it has a great Steely Dan feel and excellent performances by him."

Nice write and a very soulful vocal with great harmony.
Excellent guitar and just the right amount of it for the arrangement. Classy.
Nice organ contribution too.

Your session guys were in the pocket and well mixed.

High bar indeed.

I would love to hear some more Blues Guitar solos in there.

Thanks for posting.

Thanks Nigel! I was tempted to extend the solo section but opted to keep the song under 4 minutes to prevent listener fatigue! T

Yeah, that guitar has a good sound, but a lot of the credit goes to the player. Standout playing!

A GREAT sound. A great mix. Just Great Music.

I've said this before...I love that you Make Music. The majority of "songwriters" seem to pay little attention to the MUSIC side of songs (putting more emphasis on lyrics in a standard form of one kind or another). Your songs are complete - the real deal. They "sing".

Killer.
