Good song, I like your vocal. Nice playing too, great tone! Your phrasing reminds me of Peter Green a little
Welcome to the forum, looking forward to hearing more from you!

Great guitar sound with that latin beat - very beguiling. The whole track is very easy on the ears - just sort of glides along and carries you with it.

A little like Santana guitar wise. Vocal is nice, lyrics a little repetitive but okay. Nice job overall. That's all I got to say. ; )

Captain,
A good track. Good use of BIAB. Welcome to the fun.
A nice easy flow to the playing. Good mix.
The whole thing was like Tom-Waits-Leon-Redbone teamed up with Santana as a backup band. Cool... Enjoyed it.

Hi Captain,
When listening to your song and especially that Latin-touch I got the same feeling as what Tunemonger wrote; it felt a bit like Samba Pati from Santana (except for the singing). I got the feeling before reading the posts on your song. Funny! So that's a nice start in this forum! About your singing I like that heavy sound, but on some occasions you did that a bit too much. I would say, don't do the 'overdrive' and stay like that, if you know what I mean.
Hans

Nice work - loved the Latin touch, it really helped give it more character. Super smooth as well, and decently catchy.
Thanks for sharing!
Cheers, Deryk

Thanks for the comments, Your observations are right on. My inspiration on that was John Lee Hooker/Santana "Chill Out". Very minimal on the lyrics.

Thanks, I've been writing/recording my own songs for a few years now, since I retired. I know I'm not a great singer but, I do have a few voices I use and the Waits/Redbone tone comes out every now and then.

Thanks Hans, Good feedback. That voice I used on that is rather harsh but, it was the mood I wanted. No O/D on the vocal just me over-driving my vocal chords

Is that double tracked lead guitar or delay/reverb panned? Very Santana feeling due to the rhythms but, as mentioned, a chunk of Peter Green in the licks n tone. Nice.

Thanks for giving that a listen rayc,
Rhythm is an acoustic guitar double tracked.
Lead guitar effects...I blended the direct out from my amp with an sm57 on the the amp. I panned those L/R, I usually have the delay pedal on and added some extra reverb. Never thought of my licks as Peter Green like but I do know, I'm not as close as I'd like to be on the Santana licks.
Used BIAB for drums & bass.
