Good blues! I enjoyed the vocals, lyrics, and the guitar solo.

Fun video, but some of those digital funhouse mirror faces were... freaky! laugh

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

HAHA. Thanks, Mark. Dave is so much fun to work with --er, I mean play with. You are so kind with such words. I blush with a huge smile.

HAHA. Anytime, Brad. I'd be happy to help.

My 1st impression was that I could hear this on a 78 with Lady Day singing.
It's the sort of "done me wrong" song that women do oh, so well.

That said, your performance - slow, calm, not overselling the punch line, is REALLY cool.
Dave's guitar is icing on the cake - as usual.

Fabulous.

Yeah, I hear what you mean, Ray. About the icing on the cake, I mean. Haha. No, you're right, this is a lamenting plea from one blue woman to another. That's my inner anima.

Outstanding in everything

PS - I'm glad that I listened this song on Soundcloud before I saw the video otherwise I would have missed a lot of the song due to my L-ing O L!

Thanks, Mario. Man, I can only imagine the video you'd make for your newest song, Math Quiz.

EXCELLENT! The video is really entertaining too!

A lot of (hidden) craftsmanship went into this for sure!

Rob


Thanks, Rob. That sounds extra special coming from such a talented fellow.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Man, such a great song, was a blast to be involved. And then the video, must have watched it 20 times I think!

Haha. What a humble use of the word "Couple," Dave. A Babu song without you in it just ain't a song, man. Thanks for being there in so many ways.

Clever lyrics and an ideal choice of instruments for the style.

Thanks so much for the listen and comment, AT! I really like that "'blue song' about the blues."

Amen bro and only if more folks recognized that.

You have the whole package going here ... cool write, great vocal and bass performance.
Oh yeah, and that guitar man is smokin' with that dark vibe. Seems like we've heard of him.

Great arrangement and mix indeed ... got sort of a swing/shuffle hybrid going.

And the video? Funny and immensely creative!

Two fine productions.

J&B


Thanks, J&B. A HUGE compliment from such an accomplished duo.

Superb work by both of you.

Thanks, Peter. Man, only on a forum like this can someone get such kindness from someone I'm such a fan of.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Marty,

KILLER Blues.

Love that opening. Dave is "sangin'" - beautifully musical. And OOOOOHHH, that BASS!!

Cool song. Good write. Awesome vocals (your best!, I think).

Excellent solo, Dave! Love that tone!!

MIX is excellent.

Had to go watch the video after reading a few comments. Your Best! Now I have to read the rest of the comments to see if you talk about how you did that (I've never seen those effects before - SO entertaining...)

GOOD music!!!!

Cool vocal delivery is perfect for the blues. Enjoyed the melancholy chord progression and the nice bassline.
Dave just gets better like old wine smile

Janne

Thanks, Janne. Such kind words make me feel just terrific.

Stay well—

Thanks, Deej. BiaB sets the table and Dave delivers the main course.

Thanks, David. I know what you mean. My wife, who hides under a blanket when the baseball game gets too tense, can't even look at some of those faces.

Hey Marty & Dave ...

What a hoot of a video to along with a super song! Your videos are always so darn good! Mt grandfather once told me that advice is something you give away because you don't want to use it yourself. H e was a pretty smart old guy with a 3rd grade education. H e was my hero growing up.

Loved everything about this - pure pleasure all the way!

Thanks for all of that, Floyd. I used an app called Snapchat that my granddaughter started me using. She's 7 and I want to grow up to be just like her.

That might be bad advice but seriously, who hasn't contemplated those revenges?

Cool song.
