Nice bluesy vocal. The lyrics are fun filled and inspired. You even included one of my current favorite words, the wonderfully descriptive-"wonky". Great mix. I enjoyed it all. Tom

What a tune! The mixing job here is superb - the way all the instrument blend together is flawless and cohesive. Not to mention, your vocal performance here is absolutely perfect. It's perfectly catchy as well. I wouldn't bat an eyelash hearing this on the radio. Great job - thanks for sharing  Thank you for listening and for the kind comments. Hey Lawrence,
What a cool song. Love everything about it. That chord structure/pattern is killer! Your vocals are always great. This is really cool!
Alan Thank you Alan it's much appreciated. That was a good one Lawrence! You ALWAYS deliver a great vocal! Thanks, Torrey Thank you Torrey. Your music is rockin! That's great. Sure would like to hear you talk
more about the way you accomplish this.
(Way over my head.) It's all in the use of Aux bus separation. Grouping instrument sends to a different buses by side vs middle and then sending different reverbs to each bus to taste. I'll expand on the recording forum. "You’re a sneeze lingering just inside my nose" has been mentioned multiple times but that's a "run off the road" line!
We recognized that Jack Pearson RT right from the git go. One of the more under rated blues guitarists around IMO.
Just how many cool lines can you pack in one song man?
Top vocal as always and the piano really lays down the feel.
Your mixing experimentations far exceed mine but whatever you did resulted in a mix that sounds top notch on our monitors. The soundstage is laid out so well.
Kudos Mr Gruve!
J&B
Thank you both so much. I'm experimenting with separating the soundstage by using different verbs to instruments busses group by panning. So all my panned instruments go to one bus and I (am currently- it's a work in progress) might send a spring-like verb with short decay to it. Then my middle instruments (minus drums and bass) I send a more traditional room or hall type verb to taste. Then eq the reverbs to each other to minimize over-stepping frequencies. I'll write this out in the recording forum. And thank you again!

Don't you love it when you have a song where you can use a word like "wonky"!

Man, so good! Lyrics are great, can't add anything more that has already been said. Great vocal and groove.
Cool mix too, the way you have everything panned, definitely a headphone listen!

I'm late getting here but I'm that I made it! This is one hell of a great song. It's all been said, vocals, lyrics, mix etc, so all I can add is this is funk at its best.
This is a keeper for sure!
Back in my day the only time we started panic buying was when the bartender shouted "last call"!
