Real nice Smoke 8) Only have one problem with it. I think you are singing a bit high in a few parts in the first verse. Not out of key, but you sound like you are straining a bit. Every thing else is excellent. ken

I like the guitar in this a lot. The harmonica at the end was cool. I need to get better at the blues haha.

Smokehouse

Guitar sounds great, really wish I could play like you man, love it.

I just listened to it and I guess its the "redone" version, didn't have that big a problem with the vocals, but they are still a little "iffy". Not bad, but I think they can still use a little work; it could just be that they are too loud in the mix, ya know?

Harmonica sounds great as always, another thing I wish I could do.

Good stuff

Hey smokehouse, just to clarify: I was not saying you have a bad voice or anything like that, you're fine! Just thought with this song, and the way it mixed, wasn't sounding as good as it could. I'm no singer, but trust me, your voice is good enough bud!

Excellent Job!

The best part for me were the turnarounds! Everyone just different enough to keep my attention, great Harp too! Sounds like you got a little out of time but you do it a lot better than me. I have absolutely no problem with the vocals, I think that's the way it's supposed to sound!
