Remians me back 4 years ago as i'm playing with a blues band in a restaurant here, we cover this song and played it every week.
Great cover!!!
Great Vox!!
I love the guitars...

[Satchwood]

Great stuff Hoop!!!  Had to take another listen.....................

Luv the way you programmed the drums on this as well - I'm thinkin how the heck would I possibly do this with MBR drums....i guess i got to get me a Yamaha DTXpress.

[Bluesberry]

Really great song here Hooper.  Sounds so good.

[Tony W]

Hoop, you never disappoint! Do you ever get tired of the word "perfect"?

Thanks for the comments everyone!   

Satchwood, the drums actually took 5 tracks to do.... playing kick, snare, toms, etc. each one at a time since I'm not coordinated enough to get all hands and feet going at the same time on the DTXpress. 

Was interesting to look back to the time of Secret Agent.  He and Danger Man were of course TV spin-offs of 007 James Bond. (so were Mat Helm, Maxwell Smart) and all were set in the context of Cold War espionage (so include Boris and Natasia).  I also remember seeing maybe a half-dozen episodes of The Prisoner, also starring Patrick Mcgooan as a 'retired' special agent who can not be allowed to return to society because he knows too much. They took away his name and gave him a number (number 6).  Very intriguing!

There is a new version of "The prisoner" being made... Should be out soon....





Just noticed the 007 riff in there....  Very cool!

Brilliant Ken!

I used to play this in a former band and it always went down a storm. This is a great cover of it, as good as your music always is. Controlled and perfectly played. Thanks for this, you really took me back!

Cheers
