Mario,
You on mic? You did'n say. Depressing in a fun way.
"Can't do a damn thing with a
Police Ankle bracelet on" What did you do?

Good one! I think bringing out vocals a bit will benefit this tune.
Thank you for sharing.

Good song. Good old Blues format. Works most every time. Great live instruments, especially that lead guitar. Great use of the band too.

It has been a joy being quarantined with my wife. We've caught up on all the things I have done wrong in our 53 years of marriage!

Well, I've been married 35 years, and we haven't even covered my mistakes of the first 5!

Fun song Mario!! Are those the vocal stylings of Mario? Nice, fun bluesy thang!! Take care. Greg

All my best,

Deej, thanx for the kind review. I don't sing much so thanx for the vocal comments.

She said she can't remember what she ever saw in me!

Thanx Misha for listening and commenting. Yep, every once in a while I will sing a song, but I'm much more comfortable doing instrumentals. Everyone here sings much better than I do so I do instrumentals as that is my strong suit.

Thanx Will. Being in wedding bands for year exposed me to many different genres. But I am basically a blues guy.

Thanx so much. I am mostly a simple blues guitarist and it shows in this piece. Thanx for commenting.

Until the piano starts thumpin' the left channel is almost empty.
I'd have loved to hear the lead over there until the piano comes in and then have the guitar over then and then pan the guitar closer to the middle and also dead centre when playing the solo.
Personal stereo image bias is all.
Cool job on vocals & lead licks.


Cheers

I love it, the only critique I can think of is the lead guitar needs to stand out during the solo!
