Smooth like crunchy peanut butter - little nuggets of texture and taste to keep it interesting.

This is top shelf work Nigel. For me there's a taste of Motown/R&B goin on here and as stated above, it's smoooth.
Love the band and the guitar squeaks.

Good song with a nice drive, I like it a lot.
Maybe you could post the lyrics, I don't understand all of it.

This song has a terrific slow burn. Loved it! There are very short volume dropouts at 0:34, 1:10 and elsewhere that seem intentional but I wasn't sure. Not a big deal. Great job!

Hi TuneMonger,
Thanks for your comments.
Those dropouts are where only the guitar is playing.
However - you are right - a couple of those are a bit quiet so I have made them a bit more aggressive and louder.
Best Regards

What a great lineup of talent, including the singer, Nigel. Love this easy-feel, and bouncing melody. You're right, that guitar and harmonica work so well. Great pro mix and that feel is so catchy.
