Yeah man, they're just doing their part to get you through the pain. Great line for the song and a helluva description of the genre IMO. This is dead in our wheelhouse. And we both like it big time. Great vocal, lyric and a clean crispy production. Cool.

Great tune! Loved the vocals and the production...simple, as it should be. I couldn't help but to imagine what this would be like with a gal like Haley Reinhart singing......
Nice one guys!

Very cool Michael,
Wonderful guitar work.
The vocals are good. IMO you should work w/ the vocalist on his dialect. He's got the American accent ALMOST nailed, but a few syllables (eg 'after' and 'toughen' and a few others) are distracting. With a little work I'm absolutely positive he could nail the accent in full and then I bet you'd get a lot more listens.
I like your lyric a lot. Nice tribute to the blues!
Peace,
Ian
