This is another cover of a great Delbert McClinton song.
The original features Lyle Lovett and John Prine as guest vocalists. I couldn't get Lyle and John over to the house so I had to do all the vocals myself

It would be hard to imagine a tighter bassline. Drums sound waay better than AD2, the guitars are tastefully mixed - vocals totally cut it. Great mix, great job.
 
For the piano intro of that length, all to be in the left speaker, I dunno, that kind of threw me off. You might center it just for the intro, and then pan it left when the good stuff kicks in.
 
How did you treat that snare? Sounds perfect.
 
Tight, tighter, tightest!

Thanks Tom!
I thought about panning the piano to center for the intro, but the organ comes in before the rest of the instruments so it sounded kinda weird to do it that way so I left it alone.
 
The snare is the 14X5  SONOR Designer snare in AD2, and there's really no processing on it except for some mild compression and EQ. It just fit the song perfectly.
 
Thanks again!

Excellent performance and production.  The timing and mix are spot on.  This has a bit of Jump Blues feel to it and anyone definitely has a "hole in your soul" if this kind of music doesn't move ya. 
Love it!!!

I like Delbert McClinton, so needless to say....   
Great job with this.   Mix is clean and punchy and everything just sounds good.   I think the song suits your voice well.   Even with all that stuff.
