These two superb songwriters wear decades of combined musical experience lightly, as the eleven original songs here display a freshness of approach and add new twists to their foundational influences in Blues, Funk, World, New Wave and Rock. This exhilarating and accessible collection bears comparison with the finest work in either of their garlanded careers.
This title track lopes along, inflected with guitars that speak of both cowboy trails and Hawaiian hulas - “One day we die, the rest we’re alive/Some days we walk, mostly we drive.” When the cops pull the narrator over, he wonders - “Will they want my driver’s licence or my genetic code.”

Cazy mamma! (JJ Cale?)
I put a National cone in mine,just to see if it improved,really can’t tell the difference.
Mmm....nice!!
Nicely done, with a great message! Things don't have to be overdown to be well done! Thanks.
Just a joy - and the rest of the album lives up to this! Great to see two virtuosi looking so happy to cruise their Maseratis at fifty-five
Took me a couple seconds to figure out what song this is lo.. Nice rendition, guys!

Who'd have thought that such a fusion of Blues and trad Indian instrumentals would have worked so well? Loving this.
Briiliant, guys - so effortless. Beautiful playing - and nice to see Chaz playing a MM Lightning!
Brilliant.
Loved this! Great tone! What fedora gives the best slide tone?
Really enjoyed this🤗🥰 Happy 16th Birthday😂 🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈Hope my Maths is correct 🤩 Sessions @ Water Road Reading don't seem that long ago🤗😊 Wishing you the happiest of days🥳🥳🥳 Sheila🎉
Thank you for your kind words. I was born on the 28th, not the 29th, so I get a birthday every year!
Michael, do you sell your guitars in the USA?
Watched this so many times. Bravo boys 👏
FYI. Two different Messer guitars on this demo. Michael Messer has identified them as: “In this video the first 1:30 minutes is played on an MM Lightning and the rest is on a 12 fret MM Blues.” (From the Messer Guitars discussion forum.)

Pure Ace x
Nice! I love it!
Love it. I've been playing slide for years and can only play my brass slide with my pinky. Not keen on glass slides. Any tips Mike? Pinky or third finger?
You should join my online forum and ask on there. You will advice from myself and many other experienced players - michaelmesser.proboards.com
What gauge strings do you use Michael? I'm on black diamond 16 gauge. Great volume but bloody hell, hard to fret. Peter Green vibes on this vid. Loving it.

😀@@MichaelMesserMusic Ta mate. Ordering the 13's for the love of my cuticles. Proper legend you are replying to your fans.
My pleasure@@PatrickPenn-zc4hi ...look after those cuticles!
Hiya Michael. I bought a Regal RD3 imported from the states on your recommendation. Christ, must of been 20 years ago. Locomotive Skin inspired to finally get a resi and learn slide. 20 years on, I still have me Regal. Have you got a favourite open tuning? I loved open D at first, open C is lovely for country type tunes but I love playing open G the most.
Excellent Michael and Chaz. As always, great harmonies, top shelf playing...... More!
Good stuff guys 👍🎸🙂 Is that lightning I see !
Looks like it to me! I have one and feel very lucky indeed
That was great slide,vocals, lyrics as well......can wait to get hold of a CD greetings, Al.
absolutely beautiful and well worth the wait!!
Sounds great guys, lovely harmonies and of course epic slide riffs and resonator tones 😎
