    This is a version of Chicken Blues, a 1951 hit for The Dominoes. It's my dad on vocals and piano, me on background vocals and guitar.

    I'd love to hear some constructive feedback - while it's pretty obvious I know next to nothing about mixing and production, I'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions. I'll be recording a lot more songs in the near future and would appreciate any tips any o you can give.

    By the way, my 3 year old daughter loves it and constantly plays it - that means much more to me than getting a 5 star review in Rolling Stone magazine and winning a Grammy! biggrin.gif

    Cheers,

    Paul

    It's very good, only thing is the background vocals sounds a little distant and out of sync. Good job though!

    Thanks for listening! :)

    Yeah, the backing tracks were actually meant to a little off - our idea was to sound like a bunch of lumberjacks singing along in the background!

    Thanks for the feedback - appreciate it.

    It's good, I enjoyed it!

    Sounds like your wee lady is going to be a rock'n roll fan!
