Posting Blues revisited

[teknomike]

In 2002, when I got posted to Seoul, I did a quick little tune for the party we have
(see https://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=54735&highlight=posting - the original isn't there anymore, though).
It was a one take wonder, written and recorded in an hour.

Since then, it's been a big hit, and I've done an acoustic version every year.

This year, now that I've built up some recording skills I thought I'd do an electric version.
FYI, There are up to 30 some people who get moved all over the world, and I fit them all into the lyrics.
Rhyming Afghanistan can be a bitch, though Lyrics are VERY "inside" but you get the drift.

Too late for any changes, though - deadline was today, so it had to be done.

Written, recorded on Saturday, June 16.
Tools:Godin LGX-SA guitar through a Roland VG-88, Ibanex EDA-900 bass, some drum loops I got from somewhere, and a Rode NTK mic. Audition 1.5/Delta 66

Let me know what you think, and what could be done better. Vocals are a bit loud - need a bit of intelligibility in a big crowd.
Cheers,
Mike

This has a nice live blues feel for the band.

The vox sound more like soft blues lounge style vox. All goes well.

Nice bass lines.

Don't have anything to add.

Thanks, bigbubba, appreciate the listen, and your comments.

I'm not much of a bass player - I'm glad I did something that worked !
And it only took me a couple takes - that was more surprising.
