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

the beer halls, yes, the beer halls!
LOL
 
this turned into a shuffly kind of thing,
but it didn't start out that way....
 

Great job bat.  No issues at all.  One nit: The center is pretty full.  The R & L sides seem a bit low in volume comparatively until it gets to about 2:30. At lower volume levels it works OK.  
 
Your song and arrangement/playing is superb as always.

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....

thanks hacker....
the ending got a little off the hook
 
i think at the end, i had left the wah wide open treble, and the vibe was on, it was just screaming

i'll have to go back and review this mix,
to see what's happening....
seems to me the rhythm guitars were hard panned left and right,
so there should be a pretty wide mix...
'typically, i do vox, kick, snare, bass up center, and everything else goes off to the sides to some degree.
 
i do tend to mix rhythms a bit lower at the beginning of songs, and let it build throughout, if the song is long enough for it, likethis one is
 
thanks for the review

boy if that intro don't wake you up nothing will! 
 
love this Gonzo!  love that guitar tone, love the bluesy feel.  really cools stuff in this!

Bat blues, love it! Tone to spare.

gonzo, I think I've known you for at least ten years now and during that time I have never heard a song by you that wasn't absolutely incredible - including this one. You are an amazing song writer and one of the most entertaining guitar players here - or anywhere - just amazing.
 
I always try to come up with something I can critique when I listen to your songs - I don't think I've ever come up with a single critique.
 
I love this.

as always your guitars rule...the vox on this works so-so for me...not nearly as well as it worked on the last tune (at least for my ears)...
 
killer guitar!

thanks for waking up with me!!
LOL
that sounds weird....
this guitar tone, happened with my custom build strat, a USACG build,
with bill lawrence pickups, it has become my favorite machine for various tones, in combination with a good tube amp.
not my favorite to play, necessarily, but the tones i get with it make me want to change out all the pickups in all my other guitars!
thanks for listening

bat blues, yes, warren coined that phrase, it works pretty well!
 
 
markus
thanks for the kind words.
i have never written anything yet, that wasn't in need of some serious critique!! LOL,
but at least i'm doing some stuff that is interesting enough to be entertaining,
so thanks all the same!

i appreciate the review.....
i can understand what you are saying about the vox,
but i try to change the vocal approach on every song i do,
so that it works in a bigger-picture kind of way,
where it sits on the album with the other songs is important....
so, i hit a few, miss a few, i'm ok with that, i understand how that works.
 
the guitars, damn, it's the easiest part, it almost feels like cheating.
the hard part, is marrying a vocal that is equivalent, and some lyric content that isn't 'baby baby come suk my dik' kinda of stuff!!!
 
LOL
 
thanks again....
