Oh this has it all !!!

Crisp clear acoustic guitars! Dirty blues guitar ... great vocals ... wonderful harmonies .. straight blues .. but with some very clever twists and turns on the way !!

Great work Farrell !

What a rocking-good frolicking Christmas tune! Love the production on this. Farrell - tight as a snare drum!

Wow! I'm lovin' it!

Excellent playing and songwriting as usual - I really like the Zoom drum machine programming, too. Great job with that.

Quote from: Davidsen on November 25, 2011, 11:37:07 AMyea! Another Farrell masterpiece!
Nice!

ps. what's the chord at :08?
I dont have my guitar with me, but that's wonderful!

Thanks Geir, Rob, Cuthbert, Kari, Redler, ORH, launched, and Davidsen. All your good words are too kind!

Davidsen - the chord is a D7th and then the E & A strings drop a half step. Here's my finger positions starting on the low E at the D (10th) fret. 10-9-10-0. Then 9-8-10-0. I'm just picking the 4 strings straight down from the low E to the open G. The notes are D, Gb, C, open G. Then Db, F, C, open G. The G string rings open on both chords. That's it.

By gum, FJ, I've said previously that your productions with that Fostex etc set-up beat the pants off all-comers. Wonderful clean, interesting lines all round, and dang catchy to boot. Another class upload. Well done.  8)

Blimey Farrell, I am blown away again... it's crisp, so tight, your vocals are delightful, a fab song executed by a master craftsman - just love your playing, and I could listen to you sing all day! Brilliant

Thanks Andy! This was a fun one to play and record. I've got another idea for a YuleFest song. Hopefully it will come together before X-mas.
