What can I say? Absolutely great, vocals, guitar, bass, drums and keyboard (and lyrics).
Just a preference thing; I was hoping for another superb guitar solo in the outro. Six minutes of this would not be too long.
Well done everyone. Really appreciate the kind words, thanks so much! Dave,
Once again, this is a great collaboration. Excellent song and the production is stellar.
Loved it! Nothing else to say!
Bob Cheers, Bob!

Very professional song in every aspect. Simple story with stripped-down arrangement where every element shines, tight band, relaxed guitar playing (like Mark Knopfler), excellent bassline, enjoyable vocals, radio friendly mix.

Thoroughly enjoyable! Indeed a nice and tight overall sound.
Excellent bass, good vocals (I particularly liked the harmony sections), and then of course the powerful solo!

Thanks for the kind words, Rob! Dave...this was like turning on a soft rock radio station and hearing a great song...it is so tight and professional sounding...first off a great recording begins with a great write...you and Kathy did a stellar job...Chris has such a beautiful clear voice and when the harmonies come in...well...I'm completely hooked at that point...Marty is ...well...Marty! and your lead work is (as usual) some of the best I've heard...this is a killer song and recording...well done all! High praise indeed, thanks, Dan! Nice song.... it has a Long Road out of Eden Eagles groove to it.
Tasty guitar solo.
Cheers, Herb!

Great mix.
Bass comes through nicely. Not too elaborate.
All good.

Way cool! Y’all are really cooking on this song. Yours and Kathy’s lyric is a goodie and then the melody and excellent performances get the song stuck in our heads. We agree with Chris and Marty about that solo, Dave ... a definite keeper. And just the right amount of grit. Tom Adams calls it putting a little "hair around the edge."  The sweet spot. Chris always has such nice subtleties in highlighting the melody and lyric and she shines on this. Marty’s bass is excellent. It cuts through the mix perfectly with zero mud. Nice work with that EZ thang. Enjoyed it! J&B PS And please consider all the above also from Peter who is on a getaway for several days.

Dave and crew,
This is a perfect example that music does not have to be overcomplicated to be excellent. Everyone put up a great show, no need to dissect it. Clear mix & listens very well! Thank you for sharing,
Misha.
P.S. Kathy's lyrics worked very well.

Awesome tune Dave. Super vocal from Chris Had a couple of listens from the Facebook page. Excellent collaboration. Guitar was perfect. Loved the production and mix. Marty's bass lines really locked the song into a cool groove. Well

This is a really polished performance. You guys (and gal) seem so comfortable with your instruments and vox you make it sound effortless to produce these amazing sounds. Well done.
My music may not set the world on fire but if it causes a glow in just one person's heart, it has all been worthwhile

Cool sound! Man you've got a good team to work with, from writing to the final mix. Everyone fits together so well, and it really sounds smooth. Loved it all. Your lead guitar fit in with that haunting groove perfectly. I like it the way it is, but I guess I'm greedy, because I too would have loved to hear it go on longer with a guitar outro. Well done! Yes, pretty much a dream team, no doubt! Thanks very much for the listen and comments. This is one outstanding collaboration.
Everything is tight.
Super chops and vocals.
This pro all the way.
Loved it Thanks, Mario! I'm normally not a fan of a clicky kick but it works when playing along with Marty's bass.
Cool song...everything works and the lead tone is fabulous.
Well done bell, bell, spruit & straub. I don't hear the click myself so I'm not that bothered about it. Thanks, Ray!

So much to like about this!
First, it sounds great in my headphones. Nice balance, stereo imaging, and the bass and drums immediately set up the groove.
Vocals are excellent, as is the solo guitar. Love the structure of the song - the verse start and ends with the hook, so the form is immediately clear.
Love it.

Hey Dave ...
You guys really hit the nail on the head with this one. Love that distortion on your guitar. terrific write, excellent vocal, and, as always, a super presentation. That was a great listen!
Alan Hi Alan, The amp simulation software that I've been using for the last few years just released a free update that included an overdrive pedal, had to try it out on this song  It adds a little dirt but still lets me play double stops and chords, pretty cool. Thanks for stopping by! Hi Chris, Dave and Marty
That sounds absolutely excellent
Can be played on the radio immediately
Extremely good work from all
Many greetings
Andi ;-) Thanks for the listen and comments, Andi! Ah, thanks, Dave... and Kathy. You guys are writing winners. Please never stop. Thanks to those appreciating my small contribution, and I too would like a 6-minute outro. Oh, wait, that's not what was said exactly. My favorite quote here so far is from Ray: "bell, bell, spruit & straub" has a good ring to it. Thanks for everything you do, Marty, always.

Y'all are in top form here.
A good song. Really like the bridge.
Chris does her usual excellent vocal.
The harmonies are exceptional.
Marty does his usual. Buttery AND punchy.
Nice that you and Kathy write together!
Some of your best guitar work ever. Love the tone. Love the solo!
(I thought the drums needed more reverb)
A Great Listen.
fj Writing is something I really struggle with, doesn't come naturally to me at all, so it helps when Kathy can come up with a line or two. As far as the reverb goes, you are probably right, I think I trust your ears more than just about anyone. I tend to err on the side of caution when it comes to reverb on drums. Thanks, Floyd! I really liked that solo. Wow. I had to "rewind the tape" to go back and have another listen to it. Just cool. That's all the vocabulary I have for it.
Vocal is beautiful.
The song has the road journey quality to it.
Enjoyed it much! Happy you liked it, thanks, Scott! Hi Dave & Kathy,
Boy - this is a beauty!
Good song, good groove, good bass, good lyrics and great mix.
I particularly liked the vocals and lead guitar work - excellent.
Best Regards
Nigel Thanks for the listen and comments, Nigel!
