Authentic! Good sound. :D Vox are a little too wet for me. Other than that sounds good.

Cool, slow blues are the hardest to play. A tad too much verb on the vox but good job overall.

Very nice fret :D
Puts me in mind of the Great B.B. King.
I would concur with my fellows on the vox.
Maybe a little too out front for the genre'.
I enjoyed that a lot thanks.

Ah J. Danger you know about the difficulty of keeping track of the mesure in a slow blues, luckely this particular tune has enough chords changes which helps to stay with the changes.

Thanks for listening and review, looking for more music from you and Neanderpaul, you guys make a good team.

Hi Sans glad that you took the time to listen, I know the Blues is not too popular these days but for me it never old.

Yeah the vox are too loud I guess I overcompensate this time as a reaction to some previous tunes where members commented to the inaudiobility of the lyrics, I need a crash course in audio preduction engeneering.

Thanks for your comments.

Hey Man , I enjoyed it!.Yeah , you do have some serious VERB going on. (like Im one to talk. :lol: )..BUT, personally , I wanted to hear more of "Nasty " overdrive kinda tone for the lead rather than the compressed "clean" soundin distortion..(Hey Im a drummer, thats the best I can describe.. :lol: ). Light up them tubes !!!.

This is a sweet tune, fret. I expect you've heard enough about the verb on the voice. Maybe a touch o' slap-back, for that throw-back style, like on "I Hear You Knockin'," might work better. Always love the work you toss out there.

JD's right, too. Slow is harder to pull off in just about any genre.

Hi John, thanks for listening man I appreciate the commenting also, yeah too much reverb in the vox and not enough crunch in the lead guitar, I hear you, I do have some Blues with a more aggressive sound type Hendrix "Red House" But for this one I thought it would be best to keep it more as you said compressed in keeping with the era in which these kind Blues came.

And yes you are one heck of a drummer but I heard your guitar playing and it sounded pretty good to me, let me put it this way, your guitar playing is much better then my drumming.

Be well.

Hey Phiby good to hear from you man thanks for listening, Yeah I know " I hear you knocking" tune" now that you mentioned it, I think you are right it, would have given the song a more of an authentic ( to use a Neanderpaul term) feel.

I see that you are also aware of the difficulty of playing slow songs as JDanger pointed out and for a bass player I imagene could be even harder then a guitar player, when playing live there have been few times where I went from the 1st to the 4th or the 5th prematurely or too late I had to rely on the bass player to bring me back to the right key hoping that nobody heard the mishap.

Have a good one.

Hi J. What's the cost of living in the Poconos? There are times I wish I could pack up my tend and run like a thief in the night from this state.

I just found out my property taxes are going up again (hence the Blues) they want to install solar panel in our school, good idea wrong time, I'm already paying 8K a year in property taxes I don't know what's going to be after the increase and the suspense is killing me.

Yeah a Jam in the Poconos with you looks very attractive to me right now,
unfortunately I have too much going on here.

Thanks for the invite though.

Be well
