used my Catalpa tele build with the fralins, for all the rhythms on this one...

used my USACG strat build with lawrence pickups for all the solo work.

So good in so many ways. I hear some "City Boy" sounds along with some "10cc" and great Rock/Blues. Really like those harmonies. Rock On, Terry

[freddy j]

This is a great guitar driven rocker (spiked with a bit of the Blues/Boogie).  You make the Strat and Tele sound good!  I particularly like the sound of that one panned left.  Your playing is excellent!  Great work on the bass line as well as the vocals.

[Rikfr]

Hi BB, classic BB tune, lots of swagger, like it. Nice tones and playing, all good.

Excellent Bats. Great attitude 

[DeeringAmps]

I must agree with all the above. Always a fan!

Hey Terry!

Loved 10cc, don't hear that name dropped often...

Harmonies are always the fun part

hi wookiee!

this song was inspired by a friend who, as the title says, was waiting to shine.

just needed the right breaks, right circumstances, right planet alignments, etc...

 

his was an older riff i had, that instead of the maj 7th thing, it was a minor diminished chord.
i still like that riff, and might right another song around the original riff....

howdy old joad!

yep, i like that tele!

it's made out of Catalpa, it's super lightweight, feels great to play, very resonant.

I like diminished chords, minor ones are even more fun. My shine reference was to one of your old Moonshine tunes

Great old time rock (for me anyway) - brings back great memories from the stuff that came out in the 70s hayday - and that is a compliment!
