Genre Minor blues
Key Am
Duration 4 20
Overall impression
Sounds like a pretty generic slow minor blues, well written and played but lacking any distinctive features or defining hook.
Song (musical structure, melody, lyric, …)
I’m finding the chord progressions a little too predictable.
The lyric does nothing for me – but this could be down to the delivery.
Instrumentation
Really nice tone on the lead guitar
Vocals
Singing is ok – perhaps not the best voice for this type of song.
Mix / Production
Generally nice balanced mix apart from at 2:02 where it sounds for all the world like that lead gtr is stepping in for a huge solo – if this is just lead gtr playing during the verse it sounds to me way too loud and intrusive. The lead vox practically disappear at this point!
What I really liked
Well chosen gtr patches
Really like the organ and the accompanying guitars in the verse section
What could be improved
Also it sounds like there is a glitch in the opening gtr solo at 00:18
The chord sequence is ok but slightly too predictable
Piano solo at 2:20 to 3:00 – not the best instrument for this type of song and the solo introduces way too much dissonance. Was it played or generated? If I were producing I would dispense with it entirely and leave just the gtr solo which cuts through more effectively but still sounds to me like it could be further developed.
