I seem to be focusing on car-tunes recently.  So, at the risk of overplaying something, here is another one.  It might also be that we have just come out of the spring car/rod show season around these parts.  It seems at the shows that I went to, many of the "rods" were driven by the -- shall we call them the more "mature" rodders.  At least I felt at home.
 
Anyway, I hope the song gives you a bit of a giggle and as always, I will be grateful for any comments and suggestions.
 
I will be putting up a video on YouTube in a few days (or so) which will confirm the title of this song.  I'll let y'all know when it is posted. 
 
Thanks.

I like the boogie/driving rhythm from the bass and the little bits of EP that bubble up through the mix.  For me the vocal sounds a bit distant, perhaps either take off some of the reverb/slap-back or bring it up a bit.

Overall a nice fun track, thanks for sharing.

Yup, the song very much fits the theme.       There were a few timing issues here and there, but overall I think you've captured the right vibe.

Very nicely done Freddy....a perfect fit of your vocals/rhythm/tune/lyrics. Came across really well balanced/clean mix on my h-phones.

drums, bass, guitar seem solid as heck!
 
Your vocal performance is a keeper as well!
 
However, I think your vocal treatment could use another look. It kind of works as is, but if you keep that delay processing, please push the main vocals up in the mix, and leave the slapback at approx. the volume it's at. Right now, your lead vocal is just a little bit louder than the delay, which makes for some muddy waters.
 
As is, I think the bass guitar is just as loud as the vocal?
 
theme-wise, I live in a summer hot rod festival town, so I totally get it!
 
cheers,

Like this Freddy.  Movin and fun! I'll have to play this for my granddaughter.  I'm sure she'll be dancing across the floor on this one!

Thanks Wookiee. I appreciate the input!  I am finalizing the video and still need to add the audio.  So, I will beef-up the vocals a bit.  Thanks again!
 
Hi Steve.  I thought someone might notice the when I started the vocals just a bit before it was time on that last verse.  That style worked for Jimmy Reed but not here.  Thanks for listening and for the input!
 
Hi Daryl.  Thanks for taking the time to listen and comment.  I appreciate the kind words.
 
Hey Scotty.  Thank you.  I know I can relate but I still don't have my hot rod.
 
Hey Mesh.  I very much appreciate the comments.  I'm glad you liked it.
