Positive Comments: Really creative vibe. I love the horn theme… so much space, you did not force a bunch of notes into your melody, you let the guitar solo do the talking. Super tasty song all the way around. Creative drum programming or it’s someone playing an electronic kit. A real John Bonham sound and feel on the drums, really excellent job… I am digging the sounds. Great guitar playing… choosing all the right places. Pretty jazzy sax solo rocks too. This song has it all, it rocks and has a super stinky groove with lots of space and soul.
Constructive Comments: If the drums are recorded live then that’s one hell of a sound but hey, i’ve got good ears for drums. So that’s gonna be my only comment is I would like to hear real drums and a guy putting his touch on this piece. Your music is so good that I really want to hear better production. I think this song is very marketable… kind of a SRV vibe but not so there is a huge catching point. I know we can only work with what we have but bigger production… real horns and live cats, I think you know, is what is missing. Because I think you could be, should be (in another time bc most popular music today stinks) as big as say Michael Bubble… if I think this is who I think it is, you are an amazing singer too but I may be wrong haha. Either way I dig this tune a lot.
