Love it Trevor.  Absolutely great.  Just watched the "duo" vid with Mr Abbot.  Wasn't expecting that.

Hot damn Trev

You are a treasure my man...always an entertaining listen.

Your vocals and your guitar work are as smooth as butter.

You make it sound so easy. What a gift.

Very nice. I can't help but think of Mark Knopfler here. Are you a fan of his?

Great song!  Interesting vocal timing and rhyme structure as it leaves you wanting, then pulls you together.  Very nice!

Thanks everybody and yes Ken I think there are overtones of Mark Knopfler in here - I do like a lot of Mark Knopflers stuff in particular the first Dire Straits album and I also like a lot of Delta blues which is also one of his influences. I'm sort of busy trying to simplify my stuff more and seem to be heading back to a blues bass which I am enjoying as its a long long time  since I played any blues. glad you enjoyed the post might get time to do another one tomorrow with a bit of luck.

Every song I hear from you Trev just seems to ooze quality.

You seem to excel whether it be a full on production or, in this case, a more stripped backed simple song.

Another top song!!

I had to get past my prejudice because in the offline world we have the same first name.

Glad I did!

This is a really good song... really well written, the minimal execution makes it heavy (in a good way), and it's a really fine recording.

Making me feel like writing some more originals myself.

Sheer class. Yet again, it's in a league that the rest of us can only aspire to. Sadly, I think Mr Knopfler himself could only aspire to write something this good these days. The Knopfler influence is clear, but you have such a great control of the music and vocal that it takes its own path to greatness. Your voice has a perfect edge of grit and experience to make this sound so totally convincing. And I can only dream of playing guitar like that, lol.

Oh boy this is just up up my street. Mark Knopfler yes, but closer I feel to the Notting Hillibillies with the minimilistic approach used here. But at the end of the day it's Trev playing and singing and to me it's supurb............Willie
