Here's one that I did with a mix of my guitar, percussion, and BIAB.

Hope you like it.

Very nice Jim! The minimal accompaniment really serves this song well! A great song with a very good vocal (background vocals really worked well also). This is the first of your material I've heard and it's mighty fine!! Thanks, Torrey

That's a great entry to the forum! The percussion and harmonica work together very nicely.

It all works for us...the above including the write and the vocals.

Nice!

Nice blues, and nice writing!

I'm always leery listening to someone new, not sure how the song would go. But as soon as I heard the phrase "that mean woman" it was clear that you knew what you were doing.

I especially like the lyric "they burn like a brand",

Nice and pared back, good vocal. All good here!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Thanks everyone! Really appreciate the feedback. This was a fun one to use with BIAB...also used the harmony feature on the vocals. That was a ton of fun to add. I now also have a harmonizer for when I'm out performing live, that I just love.

The minimal accompaniment makes this track very catchy, it drew me right in. The vocal is first class, Jim, you have a great timbre. A cool song, coolly delivered!

Thanks again everyone one! I really didn't want it to sound over-produced, as is the temptation with BIAB and having so many options at your immediate disposal. But the harmonica and vocal harmonizers in BIAB seemed to add just enough without taking over the mix, if that makes sense.

Man I love the stripped down sound of this.

It sounds like some simple hit you would have heard on the radio in 60s 5 million times a day.

Go with this sound. It is making a strong comeback. Great mixing and sound. Great job keeping it simple and rich and warm and not destroying the sound with compressors.

You got it.

This is one fantastic song!

Your instrumentation is perfect, great blues harp, rhythm guitar and percussion! Also super lyrics and one outstanding vocal.

This is a keeper.

Well done!! Like that bluesy vibe. Interplay with vocal and harmonica works very well. You should finish the album!! Take care. Greg
