        Hello AM,

        James suggested this song to me, ”Every day I’ve got the blues by B.B. King”.
        That is a fun tune to play. Always cool to play Mr. B.B.King
        We worked back & forth on it, here is our version based on Brian’s ML121.

        James B.: Lead guitar & vocals
        AndréM.: Lead & rhythm guitars, horns, B3.

        Enjoy!

            Wow, this sounded fantastic! What a great choice, such a happy feel good ole blues song!
            Excellent arrangement and performance, both of you! James, your voice sounds like it was meant to sing songs in this style, such a classic! André, I was surprised to see you play that jazz box! I would have never guessed that from just listening to the track. Love the outro, too – great work, guys!

              Fantastic James and Andre. Loved it. Great vocals and BBesque guitar work! I might look at this one a bit closer, learn it and add it my own set list. All the best! 😎🎸😎

                  Many thanks to Andre for putting this together. He’s got great producer skills adding the organ and horns to the track as well as his solo and accompaniment.
                  Thanks to Brian for the solo and lesson. I thought of BB the first time I heard it.

                    This is excellent. Impressive musicality all around. James’s vocals are outstanding. Terrific outro. Two blues maestros doing what they clearly love. This should be on Spotify.

                        Super collab guys that sounded great.

                        Fantastic guitar work and vocals and an impressive touch adding those horns.

                        We really do need more of this I enjoyed the heck out of it.

                          Great collaboration, fantastic production. Vocals were superb, James, and when Andre stung that first vibrato I knew the solos would be excellent.

                            This is so good! I’ve listened twice already, it bounces along with such a feel-good swing.
                            Top performance from both of you. Vocals and leads were superb.

                            James, you always surprise me with your ear for a song in Brian’s lessons.

                            Andre,..a music room with a pool table! You’re living my dream 😍
