hmmm.. I thought I already replied to this, but I don't see it, so here I go again.
I'll echo the comments about your playing and the guitar tone! Last time I enjoyed such tasty licks, I was eating an ice cream cone! Tell me about the gear and settings you used to get that buttery sustain!
You really managed to get a live feel in this song.. and in my opinion that's not always easy to do. Having been a live performer helps, because you're familiar with the little things bandmates do to cue each other that something's getting ready to change (stuff like that doesn't normally get generated by BIAB unless you know that it needs to be there and you force it to happen)
You have a great voice which always adds a unique character to your songs, and part of me was disappointed that you decided to run with an instrumental on this song... but pulling that off is a whole 'nother challenge, and you made it work very well!
You have the magic blues touch, Tommy! Thanks for inspiring me... again!

Thanks for taking the time to listen, and your kind comments Y'all! Patt, I'm playing a Strat Ultra through a 60s Vox amp and a Modtone Dyno Drive distortion pedal turned up very loud. Still it's mostly Biab that makes the song what it is. It would cost a small fortune to hire musicians of that quality.

User Tip: How to add drum fills without changing any other tracks
MarioD has shared some great advice when it comes to adding drum fills without changing any other tracks in your song:
There have been a number of questions asking how to add drum fills without changing any other tracks in a song. This is especially important if one is holding a chord for a few measures and wants to add a drum fill prior to the next chord. The following is how to accomplish that:
1-get the instruments/tracks to play like you want but don't worry about the drums for now.
2-generate the song.
3-freeze all tracks
4-unfreeze the drum track
5-add your fills where you want them
6-generated the song again - note this will only generate the drum track and not the frozen tracks
7- when you get the drums like you want them freeze the track
