timidi, very good. I thought the bass was a little dominant in the beginning but by the time the song was over all sounded great.

Hi Tim,
This was such a great song. Had me jiving around the living room.
I thought the mix was fantastic. Everything was separated to perfection, and each instrument had their own unique space.
Vocals were excellent too.
All-round stupendous package.
Mark.

Tim,
I had to snap the fingers along with this piece. Performance is KILLER!
Mix sounds FANTASTIC on my end. If you did this at a home studio KUDOS to your skills such a slick production/mix.
If I had to nit-pick and I really have to nit to say this but the kick drum could be lowered a touch. Its hitting pretty loud on my end.
You really have some MAD SKILLS when it comes to being a performer/producer. KUDOS!
Kev

This is just great! You did a great job playing, singing and recording this. :) Excellent little touches everywhere...that bass, sax, organ, and of course vocals that fit just perfectly. :)

Great mix as always Tim, even on the lappy speakers. (v. Jealous!) Not really a genre I listen to much, but everything sounds exactly like it should to my ears.

On my Adams:
Totally awesome performance (great vox width on the hook: "Used to be my Baby").
A dancy rhythmic thing going on thoughout plus that wonderful middle. Everything is tight and unites for the beat.
10/10 for Pop blues (on 1st listen).

Very catchy tune Tim. What's cool as I was listening this could be played as a straight up blues tune, or as a country Texas Swing type thing. Very cool. Your production rocked, I am a fan.

we always expect great things from your tunes, and this is no exception. great performance and mix. i think the horns could be a touch more in-your-face and dirty, but that's a personal preference. superb!

Tim, Great job. Fun song, great production. I see your broken lawnmower a few months past contributed to this production ( I hear a slide guitar in there).  Sounds great. Regards

very cool tune...great movement..I agee w/the bass being a bit too much...just sits too "front and center"..in fact its a bit forward from the main vox. Other than that its a killer tune..love the horns!>.wow
