Very..
nice and smooth. This is about nine minutes too short, and would definitely be something worth diving right into as a larger venture.
The production is very nice and clean too.

Cool
Lovely groove with some really nice playing. Nice organ sound, and lovely percussion, too. I really like the bass - nice melodic playing that really complements the groove. A tribute to your talent that this is what you put together quickly! Nice one. I hope to see this developed further. Thanks for sharing. Peace.

Wow!
I love this piece. Very nicely put together with wonderful 70's organ and great electric guitar. The guitar at times reminds me a little of Santana playing blues!

Quick and sweet
Most people have a cup of coffee before they go off to work. This presents another get you go'en media that works for me. Be nice to hear a little longer version of this.

Say, how did you get the guitar to sound like and organ?" :-)

That was a
surprise, but I should know that you can turn your hand to anything. Great authentic sounding rock - looking forward hearing to some more.

before work
so I understand correctly, you ripped this off before work one day? you're startin to freak me out :-) its insanely groovy. Love the syncopation, the lo fi drums and bass. The guitar sizzles. Hope its the start of something longer. Much longer.

kravitz-esque (thats 12 on my kool barometer)

excellent
very 60's feeling. really great choice on the drums, wish it had gone on for a lot longer. kind of reminded me of the band of gypsies. if you go back to it, find someone with a really soulful voice who can belt this out and make it loooong. awesome track.

wow
Again you show off how eclectic your tastes are. Very well done. The sirens came in right after I was thinking how much I felt like watching a 70's cop drama. Could be the opening sequence music for sure!

cool
this sounds cool and amazing. by coincidence I was listening to booker t and the mgs today and this fits right in. A short drum break and/or bridge dropped into the middle could finish it off perfectly without necessarily extending the time too much, methinks.

The siren sound would also put it in the category of "songs that freak me out when I listen to them in the car". along with stones "country honk" with the &^*&%'ing loud car horn sound. LOL

Cool piece
I'm not usually a fan of heavily distorted drums, but they work OK in this piece. Nice playing and a great title. Maybe the title and my imagining the fire and brimstone from the streetcorner preacher that makes the drums work for me.
