Greetings and need assistance with my genre!

Sounds great. I agree Bonnie Raitt all the way. Since blues does not appear to be a big genre now I'd put it into country. I think using a duet would put this over the top with a call and response motif placed unpredictably throughout. Nice job. Did you sing?

Thanks for the feedback. yes I was singing it.

The Instrumentation sounds like Bonnie Raitt
The singing I'm not sure... kinda Appalachia

Thanks for the feedback

Yes I did the singing. I am new to the songwriting and this might sound lame but I am not sure what you mean by call and response motif. Do you mean a back and forth with two singers?

Agreeing with the Bonnie Raitt comparison: might be on a playlist like the song/movie theme "Something To Talk About".

Describing the genre could be a hybrid - like this: (paraphrasing) -
American blues singer, guitarist, songwriter; c. 1970s;
elements of Blues, Rock, Folk and Country.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the feedback. It was helpful.

Sounds like blues to me, especially with that slinky slide guitar. I'm slipping and I don't want to slide (cool!)

Thanks for your feedback

Blues fits best.

Thanks for the feedback.

I really like this track -- very nice groove and good recording.

Thanks for your feedback. What genre do you would be best for this song?

Sorry for getting back so late. Didn't even notice the bell icon to just now. Call and response is typical in gospel music where the preacher says one line and the congregation replies with another. You often hear it in the back up singers for Stones tunes. Take care. Paul

I'd call this Country Blues or Blues Country... whatever it takes...

Feaker66 is right, the piano is too hot in the last verse, it sounds like a solo that the vocalist sang over top of by mistake. You could give the piano it's solo, or maybe trade every couple measures with the guitar. Then come back to the accompaniment like the beginning for the last verse.

This sounds like a good song with a great hook that was sung in front of family and friends, they want to encourage you, but don't have the knowledge/experience to tell you how to get to the next level. I hear the potential for the vocal to be powerful enough to soar above a crowd of 50,000 in a stadium. How would you sing in that situation? Bring that emotion and energy into the studio and you'll have a hit!

Hope this helps
