Very compelling performance, Sam. Had my attention throughout. The chorus is a ripper. Had a sort of Copperhead Road feel to it. I bet this kills a crowd in a live context. Loved the vocal delivery. Great raw, but warm voice, perfectly suited for the mood of this song. Only one minor quibble. The guitar shifted in volume and velocity a bit throughout the song. At some stages is sounded a little tentative but on other occasions it would come in a bit too powerfully. In a live context that would probably heighten the intensity of the performance.
Cheers

Great song, well performed. AS with the previous reviewer this one held me from note one. I liked the contrast in the guitars volume because that's how it works live. enjoyed this one well done
