love the grungy attack at the beginning, and how you back off of it, and go back in....
its all about that attitude
very slow meter,
makes me want to try to write something this slow and backbeat....
this sounds a bit like a rambling demo, mark..
i hope you are going to develop it into a full blown band song,
with vocal

this sounds like a Gus Van Zant soundtrack for a road movie out west of some sort. 
i really love how you carve out this melody that has a truly 'slacking' it' vibe - 
 
my only nit would be i think the guitars still need a bit more headroom there's some pushed noize buzz resonance still in some of the louder string swells/ vibratos - maybe tag a limiter on the track and pull the peaks down a tad - 
 
aside from that this is a gem bro

Stands alone and cool.  Reminds me of the Crossroads Soundtrack... Ry Cooder's stuff.
 
Excellent

jamesg - thank you for taking the time to listen - I appreciate the comments.
 
gonzo - that's about right - kind of is a rambling jam - but was fun to do. I really don't have plans to revisit this tune - thanks for taking a listen.
 
Abeautiful - thanks. I could probably do somoe more work to this one - but I just got tired of working on it. I appreciate the kind thoughts.
 
Makke - thanks so much.

Sure sounds like the title...very laid back and relaxed.  Nice warm tones.  I'd like to hear the tracks panned a little farther apart...I think that'd be nice.  I like the stops and the slides...those are cool.  Reminds me of a prelude to a Johnny Cash song...like I'm expecting him to start singing.  Totally sounds like a sound track to a TV show scene or movie.  Well done man.

Thanks don. That's a good idea - panning wider - I think I'll try it. Thanks again.

OK - I've got a new version up. I panned the two guitars a bit left and right and the bass down the middle.

Sounds great Mark!!!! WOW MAN!!! That gritty sound on this tune is AWESOME!!!!!
What kinda guitar are you using on this tune? Any particular personal specs? 
 
I listened to the first mix and am listening to the second mix as I type this. 
 
THIS IS AWESOME!!!! You played this cleanly, and that's so dang hard for anyone to do on any tune. 
 
Very impressive!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!! Reminds me in my mind of what Chicago type blues might sound like, or City blues.
