Here's my latest cut from my album called "Sign of Our Times' Just a few observations on current events. https://soundcloud.com/captainmoto/where-is-justice-1"Where Is Justice" Drums - RealDrums BluesRockSloSlowEv Bass - 701 Bass Electric Piano - 2503 Piano, Acoustic Rhythm Guitar 1 - 2677 Acoustic Rhythm Guitar 2 -CaptainMoto Flaxwood Routia, Victoria Amp Guitar Fills -CaptainMoto Flaxwood Routia, Victoria Amp Vocals -CaptainMoto, Bad as ever DAW -Studio One 5 Lyrics: We built a mighty courthouse, to show the world that justice reigns In the land of opportunity, where everyone's the same But equal justice under law, has never been attained Where is justice now....Oh Lord And when the law is stacked against ya, you got to know that .....Oh, justice is gone, Oh Lord If you got pockets full of money, and influential friends You buy a politician, and reap the dividends Bend the laws, Twist the truth, The cycle never ends Where is justice now....Oh Lord And if the law is stacked against ya, you got to know that... Oh, justice is gone,... Oh no If you are just a citizen, with a message on a sign, just keep on march'n down the street, yea Hold your message high You don't need no money, your currency is your vote Oh...where is justice now....Oh no And when the law is stacked against ya, you got to know that... Oh, justice is gone Where is justice now

I know it can have a unique flavor that can work sometimes but, I'm not talented enough to capitalize on whatever that is. Really had to work the EQ and compression to make this half decent.

Captain,
This sounds good. All of the instruments come across well and your vocal sits in it nicely. Good song.
Mix is good. Personally, I would not pan the guitar fills so far to one side. They can be pulled a little towards center to have them not pull your ear so hard (left). (Though some people like that type panning...)
Your vocals are good. I caught a Stephen Stills sound a few times (with a slight bit of Neil Young mixed in). And the song sounds like something they would do...
Good job.

Fine song, well sung. The band and mix are working well here, to my ears. Really liked the hits of vocal doubling and the way you treated the ending. Very satisfying.

Great groove happening with this one, sort of a J.J. Cale vibe happening.
Nice guitar work, that is you panned left I assume?
Also good writing and vocal.
Enjoyed!

Enjoyed! Thank you Dave, Yes, guitar fills is me, panned left. Also me on a second guitar with more staccato rhythm on the right. About vocals: I'm never happy with that but, I've had several comments on some of my songs that mention J.J. Cale. I'll have to dive in a little on more of his work, maybe I can cultivate that.

Captain,
A well written (and sung!) understated protest song. I enjoyed the groove and soulful feel... I also got a little of that JJ Cale reminder.
I liked the chorus vocals ( maybe some of those soul Biab oohs and aahs could have worked too).

Thank you, Oohs & aahs, will be on a future song. Glad you liked it.

Nice!
We hear a bit of Buffalo Springfield -- a good thing.
"You don't need no money, your currency is your vote"
Indeed.
There is nothing wrong with the vocal. You sell yourself way short.
Janice mentioned the way you phrase
"Where is justice now....Oh Lord"
Nice mix, band and your guitar to wrap it all up in.
Enjoyed it.
J&B

Vox were quite good, I heard JJ Cale a little. Liked the staccato guitar fills. Overall a nice contribution to the growing BIAB Protest Songbook.

A cool song: marks its narrative territory well.
I think you could do some sibilant & plosive reduction to make it more complete.
