Bass n vocals could swap levels...a keyboard bass that far up front doesn't really fit in my head.
the rest of the track is great fun...well done with the solo too.
Cheers

Great, authentic recording. I'm impressed that you played all those instruments. The harmonica player is good too. Well written song. It sounds like it was recorded live in a big dance hall. Good cut.

Hello bloc-head,
It's a great beat.
It reproduces the rockabilly of the 50's very well.
Wonderful bass, guitar and organ performances.
The vocals are also very cool.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Hi bloc-head
Cool sound
Sounds really good over headphones
Brilliant guitar solos. Fits perfectly
Somehow I find the artwork very successful. Probably because of the great red of the oldtimer (I don't even know what model this is....)
Many greetings
Andi ;-) Hi Andi... not sure 'bout the Hot-Rod, but the guitar pictured is a '50s Gretsch-6120. Thanks for your ears and friendly words. Now that's a fun song to listen to! At first I was wondering if it would be better at a faster tempo, but as I continued listening I think you really nailed it just where it should be. I really liked that bass working through the whole song and the reverb throughout really gave it a great feel. Clever, cold ending. Brad...Thanks for the great feedback. bloc-head,
Smokin'!!
Impressive work on that list of instruments.
Cool Bass. I like the "subtle" drum track.
Killer guitar!
Loved that ending. Nice use of stops.
Excellent vocals and harmonies. (I thought they were perfectly placed in the mix.)
Nice job of getting the BIAB harp in there. Like it was made-to-order.
Music worth listen to. Many times. Chair Dancing.
fj Thanks Floyd... I really appreciate your encouraging words, and I'm diggin' your latest tune too. What they said! Fun song, strong instrumentals - hot guitars and harmonicas! The vocal effects does a good job calling back to older songs. The harmony sounds great as well. Fun listen!  Hello David, thanks for checkin' in... always good to read your comments.

the rest of the track is great fun...well done with the solo too. I finally got around to listening to this again, and I agree... the Bass was a bit too loud. Re-mixed & Trimmed some of the Bass Track's gain. Thanks for the good ears Ray... Great, authentic recording. I'm impressed that you played all those instruments. The harmonica player is good too. Well written song. It sounds like it was recorded live in a big dance hall. Good cut. Thank you for that great review, I hope you still like it after the re-mix.

Thank you Elliott, the harp player is one of the great BiaB Magicians... I can play pretty good Cross-Harp myself, but it was much more convenient to use this RT, plus he's a really good player, and has that great tone... Thanks again for listening.

WOW that caused a flashback to my leather jack, smokes rolled up in my t-shirt, DA haircut, driving my red convertible and playing Johnny B. Goode at every gig days!
Great 50's rock-a-billy, perfect in every way
Everything is top shelf
This is your best to date IMHO
Loved it
My boss calls me "the computer".
Nothing to do with intelligence. I go to sleep if left unattended for 15 minutes.
