    Great time lapse video. Blues ain't my style so can't really comment on that part. What I can comment on is that I enjoyed the listen, very pleasant.

        Thanks for the comment.  The timelapse clouds are stock footage that I colorized a lot inside Hitfilm 4 express.  I want to invest in a video camera for doing my own timelapse shots, but that's pretty far down the list of things to do.

    Thanks Jim, it's also something that I would love to look into doing but a few things stopping me - cost of setting it all up and also the perverse thing time itself

    I like it -- good tune and nice performance. 
     
    I am a big fan of time lapse stuff.  You can actually just use a smartphone app ('Framelapse' is a popular free one) and a smartphone tripod like the gorillapod (<$20 used on Amazon) to record your own time lapses -- no need for specialized equipment.

       I played the lead and slide guitars, some of the piano parts, and the flutes  (guitar synth)  There is a complete list of credits at the bottom of the song list at cdbaby:

       As you can see there, most of the background players are RealTracks from pgmusic Band in a Box 2017.  Thanks for the comments.  Hopefully, the next album  (jazz)  won't take me so long.

    Nice...   I liked the relaxed yet solid groove - the brush kit works great in this context.  The back and forth between wah guitar and flute worked well, as did your phrasing using the guitar synth.

    Very good. I liked the performances and the melodies were top notch also. For some reason to me the song sounded jazzy but I have problems to identify styles. (Please don't comment my current tune because I want to post my newest tune after it has gone to the second page).

       Yes, several of the songs on my album have a jazz feel because of the jazz brushes and easy listening tone.  There are some straight ahead blues rockers on that album, however.  It's called "Blues from the Palouse".

    Very nicely done, Jim.  Well played, and a pleasant video too.  Where did you get that footage?

       Here the link where I got the footage:
    https://www.videoblocks.com/
     
       They were running a free 7 day promotion, so I downloaded a bunch of free stuff.  They offer that from time to time.

    Hey, those are some quality blues lickery there. Good playing throughout, and good luck with your album!  
    Delay-wise you certainly didn't hold back and it sounds good, perhaps a little less on the flute might have served. I guess that's just my opinion. opinion. opinion.
     
    I liked the video. Wait, hang on a sec.     I liked the video! there, that's better.
     
    cheers,
    -Tom
