Fun to just kick back and listen … but on to the parsing out stuff. smile

The arrangement is very effective with the build and build down.
The vocal delay works most excellently on the typical fine fj vocal.
The BiaB studio group is excellent — as is the mix.

And the lyric? Wow!
Love this:
“Mississippi knows where your secret goes, down, down, down”

The latter Tony Joe White could’ve had fun with a swampy blues version. smile

Superb!

J&B

Much appreciated....

The voice sounds like coming from some feet under or drown in Mississippi, but I guess that's intended "voice inside" effect. I really enjoyed the dark mood.

Thanks, Janne. Those images were Bob's doing.

Well... swampy anyway.
And a little spooky?...
Yes, that's right.
The lyrics are also very atmospheric.
It's a song of a rather unusual genre for you.
The choice of instruments is also perfect for the song.
Vocals are great as usual.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

(no surprise)

Really appreciate that, Dan...
