I posted this a few months ago and the keyboard parts were kinda noticably lame because, that's right, I'm a guitar player and midi editing can only do so much turd polish. 
Steve Cocchi agreed to pitch in and here is my first Sonar collaboration. Big huge thanks to Steve! The song now comes to life with real keyboard parts and very cool piano solo near the end. 
Using all my new Air instruments including Strike2, DB 33 and Mini Grand. 
Only plugs are Sonitus Compressor and Delay, Lexicon reverb and the BT brick wall on the master. 
No cheating was done on this song other than the drum track , I played my parts end to end, no overdubs. I think Steve did the same. Only the drums are quantizied etc.

Really nice production on this one Johnny. The blues style keyboard playing does bring the track to life and your guitar parts are nicely recorded.
 
Good stuff

Sounds good, Johnny!   I think those AIR synths fit into the mix quite well.   I also like the guitar fills you've woven in.  
 
I give it a thumbs up.

Thanks everyone I can possibly put this one to rest for now and move on to the next song.

Really nice job on this tune that kind of blends a little country feel into the blues element.  A nice combination.  Fine job on the vocals and guitar, John and I loved Steve's solo too.  Really nice work guys.

Ha ha , If you hear country in a Blues song that's because Country once was the Blues :) And modern country steals from everything these day's.
 
My definition of the 2 is -Country = Major Pentatonic scale, The Blues = Minor Pentatonic. 
I think we both stuck to the minor in this case.

Nice fresh and lively blues rock sound. It sounds like everyone had fun playing on this (...even the drummer ; ) )
The mix is just right for this style of music. Well done!
 
Cheers,
Daniel

Thanks Daniel. Playing drums for me is the most fun of all I love my digital drum set for this reason you can go nuts and have at it and then fix the boo boo's
