Cool tune. Nice B3. Guitar tones excellent. Vocal performance a notch above! Lyrics are cool and unusual.
Don't poach the grouper, kids. That's my takeaway.
 
Mix-wise, I wanted the excellent vocal to be a little louder, all the way through. However, I remember certain spots where it sounds like the singer got closer to the mic, and if you increase the vocal's volume globally then those louder spots will put your limiter to the test.
 
As it is, with those excellent blues-grunge guitar tones, I think there are spots where they seem to push the limiter hard and maybe there is a little distortion/clipping? Maybe just a little, maybe when the singer hits a growl and the kick drum comes in? Maybe 1:50 - 2:05 area? Or in the intro, does it get a little crispy? I can't tell if it's a little clipping or a lot of nice distortion  :)  And you've got a guitar hard panned so maybe it just adding up to be too much for that one side. I dunno. 
 
I have another stupid comment. What you have is bone-dry as far as atmosphere is concerned. Blues in the studio. You might take a handheld recorder (zoom h2n or equivalent) down to the local bar. Turn the thing on. Order a black and tan or equivalent. Record five minutes of atmosphere. Turn off recorder. When you are ready, go home and lay the bar atmosphere subtly under your track.
 
I really liked your song, very tasty.

I could not really understand the lyrics. Vocal could come up. Vocal seem uneven in volume. Maybe slap Waves Vocal Rider on it?
 
The rest of the mix is spot on.

Groovin'....   Great blues vibe all around.  And yeah, the guitars sound awesome and authentic.  Then again, everything sounds pretty good. 
 
Mix-wise I'd love to hear that ambience Tom suggested - move the band to a "club" and really give it that live audience feel.  They'd love it too.

i really dig, how you guys held the meter back on this one...
reminded me of early Zztop, they were/are so good at the slower groovy blues vibes.
 
 
the addition of the b3 stuff, is just perfect.
 
i like the choice of the drum kit on this one.
 
excellent guitar solo
 
really, great performances all around.
warren digs in this vocal....

HOT DOG --- y'all flat nailed the down and dirty blues on this number.  Everything on this is just plain ol' good.  Mark -- great guitar playing (love those "walk downs" you put in the first part of the lead break) and excellent job on the mix.  Warren -- glad to see you back on the forum.  The lyrics are great and tell a traditional story, and your vocals really put the emotion in the story.  The organ is also a terrific touch.
 
This was an absoflippinlutely fun treat to hear.
