Latest collaboration with Christiane Spruit. This one is a bit more uptempo than our last few, more of a Blues/Rock feel. Ghost Town Video coming soon, I'll update the description once it's ready. The band: Drums: BluesRockFunky16ths Bass: 1769 Piano: 1772 Guitar: 1436 Also added a few additional guitar parts, tele rhythm and strat leads. Ghost Town (Christiane Spruit, 2017) Waiting for the train to come to take me for the ride heading to a place down town into the city life leave the dusty road behind me misreading all the signs good night hometown next stop ghost town out I'll be gone so many miles until the day is done passing trains they have no name are figures of the game Riding horses made of steel will Rock me into sleep with all the towns and ghostly clouds in me (Chorus A) Golden fields hot summers glow behind the strangers eyes promise sings the Hummingbird I'll take you to the sky Begging for the train to stop to wake me for a while waving all the clouds behind into a clear blue sky stranger faces offer me a ticket for a ride leaving the ghost town bring me safe home tonight Solo (Chorus B) Golden fields hot summers glow behind the strangers eyes Travelling to the promised land A ticket for a ride Outro vamp

Dave, A very good ride! Train theme songs are a big favourite of mine and you`ve added a nice touch of mystery to this one. Great rhythm, strong vocals and very tasty guitar work - what`s not to like?

Dave, great mix, great vocal and great performance!! Your solo was exceptional exuding wonderful tone with tasteful subtle notes popping up here and there (yes I noticed that). Great work! Take care, Torrey.

Very cool Dave Super intro. Excellent vocal. Loved the guitar solo. Super tone an very cool licks. Thanks Scott! For the solo I used a strat into the S-Gear amp sim, their Tweed model which I really like. Also used the Mercuriall Tube Screamer 808 VST to feed the S-Gear. Free plugin BTW, I recommend it.

Take care, Torrey. I second what Torrey said. Very strong modern blues. Good job all around. I enjoyed it very much. Tom

Robert Thanks Robert! Yes, I enjoyed the train theme too when I first heard Christiane's vocal demo over the track I sent her. Thanks for the props on the guitar work, I appreciate it!

Dave & Chris,
EVERYTHING about this works!
A good blues/rock write. Excellent arrangement and excellent mix. "Just right" instrumentation. Good drums. The piano is a great addition.
Tasty guitar work throughout. Awesome lead!
Well sung. A terrific listen. Might be your best. Worth many listens.

Hi Dave.
Wonderful stuff!
The backing has a definite funk feel to it - a bit sort of Average White Band, which I love.
Everything works well and the solo is sublime. Great vocals too.
Very professional throughout.

Dave and Chris,
This is top shelf all the way!
Not only are the production and arrangement superb, Chris's singing is outstanding and the writing (melody and lyrics) is really engaging. You've both done a first class job with this.
All the best, Noel

Another really excellent production with great vocals. The wah effects and other effects you are using on the guitar are great. Love the solo.
Awesome job.

Hi BlueAttitude, Great work on this! Love the vocals and guitars on this. Reminds me of an old Blondie song. Well done! Blondie?! I'm sure I could count on one hand the number of times I have heard that band and still have some fingers left  Nothing against them BTW, just not a band I'm that familiar with. Thanks for the listen and comment Joe, I appreciate it!
