Holy Cow! I've made my living as an arranger for decades. I could listen to this track twenty times and learn something new every time. Time Akers was a great master.
I have played and listen to music for more than 5 decades, and nothing is more satisfying than listen to Tim Akers & the smoking section. A M A Z I N G +++++
Man... I wasn’t aware Doug passed away. He was my saxophone teacher for many years. He was a master of his craft and he helped me form a deeper passion for music.
Holly horns!!!! You guys are the best thing that ever happened to the internet!! By far my favorite musicians of all time. This one was long awaited. Keep them coming, we live for this now
Awesome, what a great arrangement and as always, fantastic playing and singing! I love the horn break in the middle, it sounds kind of like Bowie meets a 60's detective show theme.
… I read that Tim passed away in Summer last year….. short after this fantastic work…. I will miss him as musician and work as keyboarder, arranger and producer very much…. music crosses all borders, thank you Tim and your fantastic band.
Holy Cow!!!! Absolutely burnin' arrangement and playing/singing! I hear the influence of the late 70's Brecker Brothers in this writing. Just fabulous. The addition of Mike Barry to the horn section was a very smart move. Great guy...great player. More please!!
nice dubba C# Steve Patrick!!! You are a BEAST! Love every one of the TSS clips... super inspiring! Every aspect of this performance was perfect! Bravo!
You guys are back?!?!?!?!????? I thought youtube is recommending your video that I watched like millions times . . but uploaded just 12hrs ago? holy i can't believe this 🤸♂️🤸♀️🤸♂️🤸♀️🤸♂️🤸♀️ thank you so much🥁🎷🎸🎹🎺
Another positively brilliant arrangement (and performance, of course) -- congrats Mr Akers! Darn good on ya', you other folks, too. Pray help me if I ever get within spittin' distance of a horn section that hot -- will probably soil myself ..
Wow! What an amazingly gracious thing that so many audio experts are so willing to offer their wonderfully masterful advice FREE O’ CHARGE!! What a happy day! WHAT A HAPPY DAY!! Tim, you really should be groveling in appreciation. Maybe soon you’ll be able to offer something worth listening to.
OUTSTANDING way to get back in the You Tube groove !!! So incredibly great to have TASS back - and blowing it away (as always) !!!!! And so thankful, Tim, that you aced out the cancer. Keep up the great work - all the way around ! Cheers from Sacramento, CA.

You know you're doing good when the only complaint people have is that you can't make music fast enough.

Every performer and technician on this track absolutely KILLED. Spectacular arrangement, perfectly executed.
That's the dopest thing I've seen all year
YES! They're back! God Bless you Tim...so glad you are healed!!!!! Praise God!
Love this so much!!! Rest well, Doug. You are greatly missed by so many.
So, true, Joe. Very much so !!!
@@jgjazzman Hi Joe! Hope you are well, my friend.

By far my favorite musicians of all time. This one was long awaited. Keep them coming, we live for this now
Holy HELL!!!!! This is so damn good!!! Talk about a room full of pro session musicians! This was more solid than steel!!!!!
What a glorious return to UA-cam!! Thanks for making my musical morning!!
Awesome, what a great arrangement and as always, fantastic playing and singing! I love the horn break in the middle, it sounds kind of like Bowie meets a 60's detective show theme.
I can't begin to describe how awesome this team grooves. I can listen to them all day!
Once again, an unbelievable take on a classic Pop song. Love the note conservation by John. Extreme funk from everybody! Wow. Love it!
RIP, Tim Akers.
Fantastic. And a great horn arrangement....as usual!
… I read that Tim passed away in Summer last year….. short after this fantastic work…. I will miss him as musician and work as keyboarder, arranger and producer very much…. music crosses all borders, thank you Tim and your fantastic band.

HAHAHAHA we're tryna do better!!
@@timakersandthesmokingsecti3395 Quality over quantity!
Awesome... Horn section is Crazy!!!
Totalmente de acuerdo 👍🏻
Son unos Salvajes 👊🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
TA&SM Guys What a return !!!! GREAT !!! And the brass section final !!! Ouch !!! So good!!!
So, so, so KILLER! OMG. The Bass tone is amazing as well as the guitar. Doctorate level performance by all. More....more....I need more...
Holy Cow!!!! Absolutely burnin' arrangement and playing/singing! I hear the influence of the late 70's Brecker Brothers in this writing. Just fabulous. The addition of Mike Barry to the horn section was a very smart move. Great guy...great player. More please!!
I'm still tryna' un-crunch my face after hearing this, the groove is THAT phat! Incredible arrangement performance!
More! MORE!
nice dubba C# Steve Patrick!!! You are a BEAST! Love every one of the TSS clips... super inspiring!
Every aspect of this performance was perfect! Bravo!
That's super kind. Thanks Trent.
I'm on the fourth listen....just outrageously killer...OUTSTANDING!!... Think I'll listen again...
Another Smokin' hit. Keep them coming!
Wow! Incredible arrangement and fantastic playing!
Whew doggie...Smoking is an understatement....Nice funk feel, I think David Bowie would love this.....BRAVO
That vintage Fender is sounding great Gary. As usual, killer sound from everyone.
Absolutely first class, Tim. What a treat to see and hear!
Love the engineering and mix job on this! More please!
Damn Tim! So good to hear you all again, glad you are better. This arrangement is great!!
Blimey. What a dirty groove. Couldn't hold back my skank face. I just love it.
The best horn section solis yet, and that's really sayin" something!
I used this to knock down a wall in my house. Accidentally. I still wanted it LOUDER. OMG this is good.
I love this "Dads Orchestra". (And I appriciate the Ladies, of course). Sick brass, very neat bass.
Funque to the Nth degree! 😱 Those chord progressions are a language of their own. Scott Williamson ups the bar again. Whatta mix!!!
Truly outstanding, such a joy to hear creativity in the current climate.
RIP Tim Akers - thank you for this
Great job guys! Love seeing my bass hero Mr. Gary Lunn on these tracks! So many of these guys have been all over my favorite CCM records!
Damn! Right in the pocket! Love this!! Please, give us more!!
So good I had to play it three times and yep it was as I suspected “TOTAL BADASSERY!”
That's killin'! Everyone! Great arrangement, thanks for sharing!
Perfect! Puts a big smile on my face! 👍😎❤💫😊
Simply wonderful, Tim! No words for your talents and excellence!

Er, WT actual F? That was savage! Way to come back guys. Spectacular.

Jaw-dropping!!!!!!! Worth the wait, Tim.
Vivirás en nosotros por siempre Tim 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Gracias por tu magnífica música 🎶
Esta sección de brass es una locura 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻❤️
This is easily one of the best things on UA-cam. It has even become my 3 year old son's favorite "real" song.
You guys and gals have a amazing gift to take a good song and take it to a whole new level. Keep bringing us great music!!
Luv the funky update to a classic tune......2 good..
They’re back!!!! love it. Tim Akers so glad your feeling good brother.
Wow! Love this arrangement! Kudos to all musicians involved. Lead vocalist and bass player were especially good!
It is simply impossible to express how happy this arrangement makes me. I'll leave it there.
What a groove! Keep them coming! Any plans to release an album? 🤞🤘
MY FAVOURITE!!!!!!!!
Great to see you've recovered and back to melting faces Tim!
As always Gary is making me pick up the bass and learn things way out of my comfort zone
Tim - you and the band are pushing - so glad to see it !!! I just couldn't turn it up loud enough ... jumping out of my shoes . Love you brother

Celebrating that it happened. 2021 was a rough one. So sad for the loss of such a talent. RIP Tim
Smokin!! love the horn chart.
Kick ass horns. So, so tight. Great job, guys!
Knocked my socks off ... I am still looking for them.
Wall to wall precision!!!! Just incredible 😲
Awesome - Missed you guys!
great to hear new awesome arrangements! LOVE IT!
Outstanding on every level. Love the reharmonizations.
This utterly gobsmackingly delicious musical aggregation has done it yet again. I think David Bowie would have approved.
Very great!! Glad to hear you again!
Absolute fire.
Awesome. Thanks for sharing. 😀😍 Really love the groove and you sound. MP - DK.
I love John Hammonds drumming!
Just wonderful. My sincere condolences to Tim’s family and friends. His music has enriched my life.
Welcome back. So happy to hear your latest. Someday we hope to get to Nashville to hear you in person.
