    Sounds pretty good except for the sound quality. It sounds like soundclick did a bit too much compression and downgraded it. That said it still sounds good and very professional. I'm sure if I heard it on a CD it would sound great.

    I like it, but IMO, it would be better w/you doing the vox.

    No, I'm serious, it would have been better with you singing it. He's a singer? I'm just saying "on this tune." You're a better singer than most, and for some tunes, your voice "just fits." And that's coming from an accomplished singer. Yes, I am the big shot... You heard me right the first time.

    Nice one Frank. It's always nice to feature friends in your work, even when you could do a better job, but, its the friendship that makes it worthy and he did a nice job. He won't soon forget your friendship, that for sure.

    Hi Frank , 
    Oh yeah , your friend Walter Wilson has a voice that is dripping w pure genuine character 
    while he is singing it sounds as if he has been here and there and seen and done it all
    I think his voice is perfect for this song the way you have the song  produced so far ...his voice sounds like he has a lot left on tap ....
     
    I find an interesting mix of things going on here ....Beatles type of dirty sounding rhythm guitars in places ..
    bass player has got a super deep pocket going on w some slippery in a very good way variations with his lines ..
    back round vocal sections are  very good ..
    nice classic clean blues guitar fills ....
    I like the part where the organ came in underneath ...
    vey good so far ..
     
    Kenny

    It all sounds great and the vocal is just superb.
     
    I really like the mix as it it is but I also wonder how that voice would blend against a thicker or darker back ground. I think that it would simply be a stylistic change... not a "better" change... that voice is so *organic* and the back line is super clean... it is great as is, but there may be something that happens if you beefed up the back line in the lower mids just a bit. 
     
    Thanks for sharing!
     
    best regards,
    mike

    His voice is just perfect for this tune.  Wish I could sing like that!  Good one, Frank!

    This has a real down home organic feel to it.  I like the vocal very much because his voice has so much texture and soul.  It's good to share the burden sometimes.

    All the best,

    Walter has a great blues voice.. but he doesn't sound like he's delivering the passion. (This out of me even though I have no grit and passion in my voice .
     
    But well done, although the backing tracks need a little more punch in MHO.
