Ain't That A Shame (Bad Voodoo)

Back to the Blues.  I just have to spend a bit of time in my comfort zone.  I know that I have done a song with this title already but this one is a different one.  See, it even has a subtitle?  I was going for that hole-in-the-wall Blues bar type of sound.  The subject is of the "I've been down so long" variety and I tried to make the vocals with kind of a growl and feeling of frustration.  As in all R & B, and Blues, I tried to make the rhythm prominent.
 
Anyway, I had a bucket of fun doing this song and I hope that it gets your Blues bones bouncing (how's that for an alliteration?)
Feedback would be appreciated.

    Very nice mix and production. Awesome. Thanks for sharing. IMHO bring the vocals up just a little.

    Thank you Loran!  I am glad that you enjoyed it.  I'll give the vocal a wee push forward.
     
    Thanks Bill.  I appreciate your listening and kind comments.  I went to your song site and gave All Blues another listen (probably my 7-8th time).  That song is probably in my top 5 of all time favourite songs and you did an outstanding job on it.  I'll probably go back and listen again.
     
    Hi Antti.  I appreciate you taking the time to listen and comment.  Thanks for the kind words!
