Thanks for the feedback Johnny.  I will check the levels.. I'm going to move the foot steps to the downbeat to exactly match the 85 bpm and see how that sounds.  The drums were done on EZDrummer in the Power Batter mode.  I find that plug-in very easy to use and it has a lot of different type of beats that can be used.  And, yes it's very easy to use.  Also, I played a very progressive horn piece at the end that may be a bit weird so I'll look at that as well.  Great feedback!
Thanks!
Tom.

Hi Tom, listening at a reasonable level through Tannoy Reveals, it sounds pretty darn good to me. The lead guitar fills are perhaps a little subdued, better in the solo. Vocals and BGVs are excellent. Good song, good hook!

Thanks James!
Well.. here's the latest.  I put the sound effects back in and the foot steps are in time.  I guess, at this point I'll have 2 versions.
Thanks again everybody!
Tom.

This is a really interesting tune! I got a Steely Dan feel in some parts, but it's clearly a blues rock tune. I think the bass tone is a real standout, and it sits pretty tight with the drums. Not much to find fault with in your mix, but maybe guitar could be louder.
 
You've made some interesting choices in the blends of the bgv's - kind of unconventional, my ear kinda had to get used to it, but I eventually did. Fun stuff! 
 
cheers,

I really like the strong blues-rock and live busy-bar-on-Friday-night atmosphere. The tight, accomplished vocal and just enough loose feel in the instruments, particularly the drums and the horns in the first half of the song, made for a great "you are there" feel. Thanks for putting up this song!

Really good and strong mix, having listened to the different versions, I wonder if the walking bit really needs to be there at all, in my opinion the song itself was a better mix at the start. OK the walking bit was a little high but if it were reduced in level and perhaps panned from front centre to left ( or right ) a little, it might give a better effect of someone walking into a casino and may work better. Anyway it was worth the time and effort you put in thanks for posting.
