Blues for a New Year

This was an instrumental, I recently wrote lyrics for, and added a new vocal track...
 
Any, and all feedback would be welcomed... Thanks...

    I'm loving the organ. I decided to listen to this both at the desk and with the cans. Two things I would suggest for the mix. You can bring the highs down a hair. They are a bit strong (though I really like them that way myself). The vox track is a bit harsh. You might need to carve some of the mids out of it a bit and bring in a bit more bottom. Otherwise a rockin tune... oh.. and bring that organ up more would ya? [:D}

    An expert at work and all so tastefully done. Your guitar playing and tone are especially nice. Top work as usual Frank.

    Great blues guitar playing, holy smokes. The organ is a treat and I wouldn't mind hearing a little more of that too.

    Love the instrumentation, it suites an old guy like me.  Very tasty, laid back.  Killer guitar tone.  What are running through?

    Very cool Frank.

    Really Bluesy Frank.  Reminds me of the office chair I have at work. I keep sliding down it really slowly just like in this song.

    Very oldschool blues.  Expertly done.  Good song, great playing and production.

    Love the guitars  - those solos shift the rhythm in their phrasing clearly yet subtly  - very creative - blues riffs that seem to Fred Astaire their way around the chords (whatever that means). I mean, all the playing is spot on (harmonica, bass etc. )  but in this tune, for me, it’s the solos. As usual - great job.

    Perfectly executed lazy blues...and the lyrics are becoming waay too close to home.. Love the way you double up the piano tempo for the guitar solo, nice touch.

    Good one Frank.  The lyrics really hit home, and the performances and production were top drawer as usual.

    Thanks Rikkie... I love the sound of your last solo piece...
