(downloadable wav file if you hit the right button)
 
a sort-of shuffle, about some buddies having a hard time finding jobs, commiserating together at the local watering hole,
waiting to shine.

It sounds OK here, well better than OK
 
Has much of your normal shine, polish, slick licks and production skills.
 
What else can I say, thanks for sharing

Thanks for sharing Bat. 
I don't think I've come across a finer example of guitar tone anywhere...and your song ideas never fail to interest. As always...great music! 

"BATS BLUES".  I love this tune.  I am probably over 75 listens to it on my phone.  Great CD.

thanks for listening wookie....
you know, you say 'polished', but honestly, i was trying to make this one a little more 'raw', in keeping with the subject matter.
 
for me, the mix is kinda built into the arrangement...
i pretty much just brought the rhythm guitars up and panned them....
added dual lead tracks, and sent all the guitars to one buss....
 
did the same to the lead vox and backups....
and the drums are completely un-processed, they are superior drummer samples, but the tracks are raw output, that i just mixed like a normal kit...
 
 
i wanted it to be sort of 'blues-y', and loose...
maybe i should have had more to drink while i was tracking.
LOL
 
 
tnx again....

Raw does not mean that the final can not have that glisten of polish.
 
I was trying to say something nice and complementary without tripping out the same stuff, you know exactly what I mean.  You have to remember I have to translate all this into Shyriiwook and then back to this thing you call English 

and i appreciate it!!

Dang dude! This thing rocks! Reminds me of stuff I heard in beer halls down in Texas. Two thumbs...

Nice..... polished or raw... or both... this is a great tune.   Well done with those classic "Bat-tone" guitars going on. Love those twin licks that you have happening throughout. Cool ending to the song....
