This is a neat bluesy rocker!  Great tune & mix. Love your vocal work too.

wow, kind of amazed at the comments :).  When at first it went unnoticed for days I figured it's a slow blues and probably put many to sleep. I did intentionally try to slip in a few "odd" notes to make it a little less standard, but not too much.
 
On the vocal I tried an Oktava mk 219, which I've had for years and never really used it on anything. I did find it to be a bit harsh in the upper mids and really cut those freqs with the eq. And yes it sounds nice a warm to me now.
 
Just really wanted to say thanks and glad you like it.

Not really my style of music but it has a great sound.  Tracking/production details please?

Oh yeah, Joe stopped by my little hovel in the woods last week. I think he was lost. He was so grateful for my directions that he volunteered to help a po boy out with some licks...

The drums are great.  That level of detail & feel takes a lot of work.  Are you a drummer by chance?  FWIW, your "virtual" drummer is either left-handed, or your drum perspective is from sitting behind the kit.  My first instrument was drums and when I lay out a MIDI kit, I still prefer placing the pieces like I'm sitting behind the kit.

Not a drummer no, but I ask them lots of questions and mostly I've discovered the value of ghost notes, and I really do go through and make some sort of decision on nearly every hit, be it velocity or a slight offset.  Also I really vary the articulations on the hats, making use of every one I can in a very random way, but not automatic, yet listening to be sure I like them.

this is excellent, sixfinger!  love that blues guitar, nice tone and great playing!
 
something about the vocals seem different in the mix to me, tho.  do you have different verb on them than the other instruments? 
 
nice B3!
