Very nice write. A fav line of ours is:
“Cold wind is howlin', clock ticks way too slow
This whiskey glass is empty, gotta let it go,”
That could fit in a classic country write from the “hat act” days.
We agree with Marty on it being a blues ballad.
Just think about how many of Frank Sinatra’s ballad vocals would’ve fit perfectly with a blues trio band.

That is a fine arrangement and the mix is excellent on our monitors.
The soundstage is what we like, i.e., feels like we are sitting dead center listening to a live band.
We enjoyed the session guys including your friends.
The vocal is very good - out front with dynamics … the way we like them.
Enjoyed it!
