Story behind the song
I liked the vibe when I first heard it.The chord progresion is a perfect mix between the Blues and a song,thats JJ style.And the lyrics has some feeling of liberation I like...That inspired me the slide lines
Lyrics
Ride the river Floating down that old river boy All my worries far behind Floatin down that old river boy Leave old memories way behind Yes the days slowly fade All my life...I`ve been waiting for this time Floatin down that old river boy Makes me feelin good inside Floatin down that old river boy Tryin to get to the other side Yes the days slowly fade All my life...I`ve been waiting for this time

Carlos another top class production from a very very talented performer. Very catchy track with fabulous backings and just love the slide work. Vocals warm and sung with great passion from the heart. Wonderfull version of a great jj Cale song. Thank you Carlos you have once again proved what an outstanding artist and performer you are.

Hi Carlos, a song I don't know. BUT I'll take everybody's word that it's a good cover. What I do know;- it's a good song, played very well by you. I've not heard your voice before. You've a very good singing voice, which suits this song. JJ Cale would be pleased with it I'm sure. As usual, classy and restrained guitar playing. Like Anna Lang comments, very much in the lazy/easy style of Mark Knopfler or Chris Rea. lets hear more vocals from you Carlos.

Once again, a perfect job Carlitos. You've got a great voice, and I like the way you didn't over do the slide. Great addition to the song. I'd better get off my ass and get something recorded! Alan.
