Hi Roger,

Thanks a lot for sharing this one ...

Song
structurally very sound
I like songs which come out of the instrumental part and go to the bridge

Overall impression
The lyrics tell a good tale.
Enjoyable funky feel to the song throughout

Mix / Production
It’s a good song with a strong vocal. I feel the backing track may be a bit too busy – as if its trying to distract us from the vocal track.

Instrumentation
nice choices for the solo instruments – maybe the harmonica is a touch too raucous.

Vocals
Sung with conviction – laid back but expressive.

What I really liked
The vocals – really well delivered. Super accurate e.g. the big drop down to shame @ 1:56
The bridge section (lord it seems that the future …)
The structure
The solos – (and generally I’m not keen on them!)

What you might like to return to
One or two of the rhymes (name/change, ago/load,) but I know I am in the minority on this one.
Maybe there was an opportunity to build the sound up more gradually, say by introducing the organ only in V2.
