Somehow this sounds a little different from your usual work. Great guitar work as usual but I particularly like the lower sounding vocals especially in the beginning.

Leon and Peter,
Cool song! I (Alan) always love Blues Rock in minor keys. The piano track on the right pan is perfect. The vocals are clear and interpret the lyric quite nicely. Great guitar work! Great listen, guys!!!

We're listening on the "big system" and enjoying this tune again.
As Janice just said, "I love his guitar, obviously, and Leon's vocal. The harmonies are good and the piano works so well."
Not much to add to that other than Leon never disappoints with a lyric.
Nice addition to the playlist!
Bud

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
