Great opening! Love the way the bass bounces along underneath the crunchy guitar solo. Vocals work well, and the organ is a nice touch. All them big words in the lyrics, though: "nonchalant", "savoir-faire", "beguile", "debutant", ... Are you trying to make me break out my dictionary, or what?  I was going to make a joke about the song written half in French, but "beguile" comes from Middle English, ruining my punchline  For irony, Chris37 did the next song I'm going to listen to. It's all French! Fun song - everything about it sounds awesome!

Smoking solo and walking bass...
The two male vocals work well together.
COOOOL. Yeah, having Marty join in during the chorus certainly kicked things up a notch. Thanks, Ray! Hello Dave and Marty
Exceptionally good song
Everything fits together here
Your voice is really well suited for this song
If I had to highlight something, I would mention the guitar intro and Solo. Fantastic !
Very good collaboration
Many greetings
Andi ;-) Appreciate that, thanks, Andi!

Awesome tune Dave. Loved the tone of your guitar. Excellent vocal. Martys bass lines were perfect. I got a BTO vibe from the song. Randy B and Fred Turner a couple of my early guitar and bass idols rocking out. Loved this tune.

Dave,
Everything about this SOUNDS GOOD!
Your vocals are really well recorded and processed.
Beefy, yet clear. Sitting in the mix perfectly.
BGVs are nice, too.
Marty's Bass sounds Incredible.
BIG, PUNCHY. Without ANY Boom-i-ness.
Might be the Best Bass Sound ever (in the Showcase, at least).
Loved that opening. Had a CCR feel/sound.
(Just yesterday I was saying to my wife "Why didn't anyone ever carry on that Credence sound?")
LOVE that guitar tone (solos). Killer stuff.
Drums sound good.
Enjoyed several listens...
fj Man, you write the best reviews! I was a big CCR fan back in the day, used to cover a few of their tunes at one point in a band I was in back in the 90's. Wasn't shooting for a CCR vibe with this one, but I'll take the comparison Thanks very much, floyd, your support is always appreciated and never taken for granted.

Hi Dave and Marty,
What a delicious Blues! Can't keep my feet still.
And the bass is very cool, but it's Marty, so no wonder...
But nothing wrong with your vocals. They sound as if you have a little cold, but that makes them really special.
And than the solo. Wow, what a swell sound.
I was brought in a very good mood and thought it would play again after the end, but then 'So many roads' with Chris started.
I think I haven't heard that one before. Oh, I liked that one too. They were close in my taste. But most of your songs are close.
That means close to the maximum of joy. I don't think I'm exaggerating with that. They come close to my songs... ;-)
Hans Thanks for the listen and comments, Hans, and thanks for giving So Many Roads a spin too! Dave / Marty,
Lots of swagger in this one! Killer bass lines from Marty, great production and Dave's voice is just great - perfect for the song.
Much enjoyed!
Bob Thanks for the encouragement on the vocal and the other kind words, Bob, I appreciate it

Dave and Marty,
Everything about this is so darn good!
You have to stop downgrading your vocals- they are just right here.
Walking bass and fantastic opening riff are also highlights.
Great work.
Robert

Dave & Marty,
Amazing team work! Very unusual and cool funk and blues marriage intro. Excellent drive and ACE instrument playing. Vocals sit well and both of your voices work very well together. Mix is top notch. Listens very well. Enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing.
Misha. Appreciate that, Misha!

Hi BlueAttitude,
catchy composition. The playing of the guitar, the bass and the hammond organ (which I particularly like) are well done.
Kindly regard
derochette alias JaniJackflash Thanks for the listen and comments! Hi Dave & Marty ...
Love Shuffle Blues and this one does everything it should do. Great lyric, musical arrangement is spot on, and the mix is stand out. No problems at all with the vocals. Loved how the organ came in, filling up a bit of that b/g space. Your guitasr tone is so dang good!
That was a real joy to listen to! Thanks!!!
Alan Really appreciate that, Alan, thanks! Hi Dave,
This is a top track - great bass Marty, good singing and excellent Guitar work.
Really enjoyed this one.
Best Regards
Nigel Thanks, Nigel!

What a cool lyric and video! (Loved the Mona Lisa smile and those penguins strutting their stuff.) Dave, your smoky and slinky vocal fits so well with the lyric and that sassy looking girl on the cover art Marty’s bass is super and his bgv’s blend really well with you. The organ and the poppin' great drums with you and Marty does bring to mind Muscle Shoals music. Before we watched the video we could picture that girl sashaying along to your smoking hot guitar solo. Awesome! J&B

Sizzling opening. I dig that riff.
Good lyrics. I especially like the lines "That you know what you want and you know what to flaunt/you ain't no debutant."
Darn good song. Ain't no problem at all with your vocal.
Thanks for the encouragement, Scott, really appreciate it! Wow, very fresh sounding intro. Really like those sharp sounds of the lead guitar, nicely reflecting those sexy steps of that mysterious lady. And vocals have that plea strongly present. Excellent rhyming with some less often heard words. The bass is enjoyable, and the drum programming works very well. I want more your minor key blues ballads, but I definitely want more like this heavy stuff Janne The more uptempo rock stuff is fun to do, especially the guitar parts. And of course, Marty can handle this sort of groove in his sleep Maybe next year I'll do more along these lines. Thanks, Janne! Dave
Loved the intro - superb.
Excellent rollicking (swaggering) song, Marty sounds great on bass and backing vocals and the guitars are excellent (as always).
The outro is great. You are getting very good at programming those drums!
Really liked it.
Peter

Rob and Anne-Marie It's fun to rock out for a change Thanks Rob and Anne-Marie! Awesome tune Dave. Loved the tone of your guitar. Excellent vocal. Martys bass lines were perfect. I got a BTO vibe from the song. Randy B and Fred Turner a couple of my early guitar and bass idols rocking out. Loved this tune. I listened to a lot of BTO back in the day, favorite song by them is Blue Collar. Thanks, Scott! Dave and Marty,

Great work.
Robert Yeah, that's what Marty keeps telling me too. Thanks for the encouragement, Robert, happy you liked this one!

I thought I had listened to this and commented but apparently not.
Nice swing groove you got going there. I liked several things about the drums. What really threw me off was the intro is, or sounds to be an even beat.... then the singing starts and it switches to swing at the end of the single stick hits drum snare roll.....
Nice work.... I like it.
