nice vocals as usual.
love the brass (?) under "meet me down in New Orleans"

One thing I noticed is the song went too quickly considering the length and never lost my attention.

A bit of a Joe Cocker vibe

good stuff, don't wait 2 years to write another grin

enjoyed a lot

Alyn, thank you for commenting. I'm glad you enjoyed the song. I comped the solo in Sonar from four takes. Sonar has a really fluid comping system now. But I'd like to now what you mean by "push the bend". Do you mean string bending? I've added the realtracs and the brass are horns 2290.

Very nice. Your vocals and expression really make this an enjoyable song.

I really like the section with the entrance of the horns, followed by the guitar. Great choice of instruments.

Two years is a long interval - glad the inspiration hit you, and I hope there's more to follow.
Thank you Curt. I did 8 vocal takes over two days looking for the right feel. Some were too soft, some to gravelly. I went with take six with no edits. I added Melodyne about 60% pitch correction and about 30% pitch shift correction.

Peter, thanks for listening and commenting

I get the Cocker reference, but you are unique. You've got that Delta vibe in your voice that reminds me of Dr. John - only better.

Love the instrumentation, and the build on this one. Two years? Get busy, man! grin

Bob, thank you. I'm glad you like it. That's a big complement being compared to Dr. John thank you. And I hope it doesn't take me two more years to write again.
