Try emailing me again- it's been very hectic and I can't seem to find it.As usual- Please be advised that I don't comment on individual instrumentation as my forte is more in the overall picture- lyrics, melody, arrangements and marketing.The word appalling sounds like a convenient rhyme- songs usually do best with everyday speech- not something that feels tacked on.  Some of the lyrics here have a feel that they are mostly too easy rhymes- \"quick as a flash\/make a mad dash\"- appalling\/calling, what she's like, took a hike.  You want to use phrases that you would use when talking to a friend- more or less- so they have that natural flow to them.  Be careful of this.  For eg \"give her the news\" isn't something you would really say to a friend.Vocal sounds a bit sing song-ey- versus the subject matter which could be a bit more angst ridden concerning the topic.   This singer isn't selling me this song.  I am too aware of his vocal instead of what he's saying.  You might want to look for a richer bluesy voice- one that has more color.  You don't have to be too clever in a blues song- sometimes its just about the singer - saying he's hurting- is enough.  But that voice has to draw us in immediately.   Maybe study some Robert Cray for ideas?- he deals with those subjects but also has a catchiness to his work that some blues don't always have.
