Hi Brian,
This sounds as a joyful swing blues from somewhere in the 30ths.
Only that sologuitar tells me it isn't.
Your vocals are very good on this song. Maybe they could have been mixed a littlebit louder/ more upfront.
And I would consider a small amount of reverb. But forget all of this. I liked your composition and performance of this song.
Thanks for it,
Hans

Guitar sounds hot. Love the feel and sound of this song.
I agree with Hans. Your vocals are good but bring up a little in the mix.
Reminds me of a Stray Cats style.

Sounds great, especially the horn section! I agree with Hans - the vocal a bit more up front would be good. Fun listen!

A few lines have their 1st syllable swallowed - that wouldn't be hard to fix.
It does have the Stray Cat strut in the rhythm but the rhythm guitar could be a little more aggressive (not tonally) and strident to match the rhythm section.
The vocals come forward a bit as the song progresses - good level at about 2.20.
After 2.30 you swamp the song in unnecessary horns and organ - they aren't bad - just redundant.
Cool song.
Cheers

Nice work! Love the groove on this one - it flows tremendously well and got my toe tapping within moments. The horns were a nice touch, to me personally, and the swing on everything is right on point. I'd imagine this sounding great live. Thanks for sharing 
Cheers,
Deryk

Brian ...
I don't think I've listened to you before. Sure am glad I caught this one. Thought I was listening to the other Brian ... Setzer. That old swing feel with modern touches ... a real nice combo!
Great song and listen. Best to you

Its about time you posted another...
I like that descending chordal & bass patterns.
Good lyrics too...
All in all I enjoyed the listen...
Hopefully in 2020 you will find time to write submit more songs!

Hi,
Thank you for your kind comments, especially the Stray Cats, will take the mix on "board".
Sometimes I think a mix could be heard differently depending on monitors being used, obviously a well known fact when mixing is to try on different systems.
I use Alesis Studio One monitors in a flat response room, and listening to released major songs most sound great yet others sound awful EQ wise.
Tried through smaller studio monitors again most are good some are a bit iffy EQ wise.
Not suggesting the vocal mix in "Mary and Me" is perfect, yes it does need bringing forward but different environment/speaker listening of any song can make a huge difference.
Cheers
Brian

Hey Brian,
You really got into the swing with this one. I love the vocal commitment with which you sing... total involvement and it really pulled me right into the lyrics.
I can so easily see you and your group sitting up in front of me, onstage. It's a very engaging production and presentation.
I really enjoyed this!
Regards,
Noel

Hi Brian,
very nice thing !!!! Love your vocals (which sure deserve being brought a bit more to the front indeed.) The band is hot. A treat from A-Z.
Take care,
Stefan
