Hey Man, very nice job on this track! I'm really digging the back and forth between the guitar and harmonica and how it builds up towards the end. Good luck with this!

Cheers,
Doug

Hey Dave
I don't think this is going to get the nod here as the lead guitar just doesn't have that blues soul spirit. Also, middle part with the keyboard solo might be too "happy" and get away from the blues. But a lot could be done with this by working on it more on your own or with a collaborator.

Best of luck!

Casey, are saying I shouldn't waste my 5 bucks? :lol:
Too late :lol:
I have done a collaboration with someone who wrote lyrics and had a female blues singer for this about a year ago. He changed up the arrangement as well. We haven't found a home for that one yet. :D
Write, submit and forget. On to the next one
Thanks my friend

Oh, I also wanted to mention that I'm impervious to rejection from years of playing in a bar band :lol:

But, to be accurate - the song version is still a work-in-progress, due to that old WFH issue.
So - while others are writing, submitting, forgetting...
I'm not ready to abandon hope for our collaboration just yet.

Cheers,

Hi Casey,
Looks like you were right. ;)
Here is the critique, to me it's saying there is no emotion or mood connected to the track:

What I like most about this song
Your instrumental is developed with an engaging Blues sound. You did a great job keeping the arrangement interesting and catchy.

I think you could improve this song by
Your instrumental is well composed, but it doesn't showcase an interesting tone, vibe, or emotion that could set the intent for any of the scenes. Establishing emotions that could set or change the scene is key.

I returned or forwarded this song because
Your instrumental didn't come close enough to a mood or vibe that was right for the listing.

Additional things I noticed...
Style
Mood is off target with the listing request
