Hello everybody,
I worked a long time on this one around 6 weeks.  32 tracks total and I have a headache.  Suggestions on the mix are very welcome.
It's called Six Pack to a Shoe..
Thanks!
Tom.

Tom, this is really good!  I like the vibe and the production very much.  It's W I D E.  It seems like we're becoming a monophonic culture these days, and this is the way I like to hear music.  Good job.

Nice song, Blues rock always fits the bill. I personally only started recording a week ago because all the people I've played for have asked me to do it. So far nothing has turned out as good as this. My question for you is, there is a sound of what I think is boots stomping; Is that supposed to be on an off beat? It felt like that section is for getting the crowd involved by stomping along and it just seemed off to me. Don't get me wrong, it still works right where it is. Keep up the good work!

Hi Tom - sounds live - is that what you are going for?

Was this a live recording? Good song. Performances were really good.
 
Didn't like that clicking noise in the intro and in the breakdown.

Thanks everybody.  No, it wasn't recorded live so may be I should be more aware of the overall reverb.  The walking sound at the beginning and breakdown is supposed to be walking into a casino as an effect.  I listened to about 200 or so samples until I found the right .wav file.  It's purposely on the upbeat to make it stand out.  I could turn that down or try to eq it to something less irritating.  This is not the final cut so I may want to re-record the guitars because where I'm at now I only have access to Guitar Rig.  When I get back to Chicago I will re-record using a real amp & mic.
Thanks for the input.
Tom.

The footsteps are a little intrusive, the mix has a live feel. sounds like a big band playing.

Sounds great!  Loved the groove, and it sorta comes off like a live horn band (in a casino?).  Vocals are clear and up front, and the "band" is tight.    I have to agree on the footsteps though... I think they just last a little too long, and the slight offset to their peak tends to throw the upbeat off a little.    Either way this was a really cool song!

Here's a new version.  I took out all the effects.  I think I'll leave that kind a thing to the film makers.
Thanks again for everyone's input.
Tom.

Yes I did not like the intro in first version it sounded like a crowd of people clapping 40 feet from the stage so out of time. 
If you could get that in sync with the tempo It might work
But your new version, while cleaner is down in level a lot. You need to check your RMS levels after export. 
 
But  being a huge blues guy myself this sounds almost like a live band. How did you do those drums? .. that is very live sounding. 
Great tune. The horns start out sounding real but near the end they sound a little more like a synth.
