Great sax! Only one thing I would be careful is you have too much similarity to the tune Comin' Home! That is what I keep hearing. Has a great groove!

Nice groove! I personally think a sax would really bring out the hook. IT gets lost a bit with the guitar. But overall a great job.

Hi Roy. I live far away in Ghana. During the lockdown I got my producer Stephen Wrench to record my new single SignOut66 remotely. I would be pleased if you could listen to it and tell me your opinion. Thanks for your time. https://funkmata.net

Hey Funkmata, Hope all is well in your world. Here are my thoughts.

Love the feel of the this. At first, it reminded a little of Curtis Mayfield, then it got a little heavier. Great opening groove that captures the listener immediately and has a good melody throughout the song. When the lead guitar came in at 19 seconds, I thought of The Munsters theme song. This is a compliment as I loved this as a kid and still do as it is one of the greatest tv theme songs ever. I am not sure why I went there, but it might be the first couple of notes of the guitar part....Being a synth geek, I love the part and player as well. Kudos to him/her and all the players and producer on this. Good sound choices and performances by the everyone. It is clear this band really connects and plays well together.

Sign Out 66 is a quality piece of music and could find it's way to success in film and tv with some edits. Please read on.

Some noise throughout the song coming from the electric guitar, examples at 55 seconds and 1:01. While it's probably the style of the player who is simply grooving and scratching, it jumps out on small speakers. On larger speakers it is not as obvious as it is more divorced from the rest of the instruments. However, I think because of this, it would probably get passed quickly in the tv world. If I was producing, I would surgically pull this part down in the mix or have the guitar player recut and back off a little at these moments. (I am reluctant to suggest this as it is certainly part of his/her groove.)

In summary, great groove, good players, good production. If it was my song, I would tweak the mix just a little.

Hope this helps.
Stay safe.

Roy

Thanks Roy. Your input was exceptionally helpful. The track was recorded during the lockdown with pro session men in Nashville. It was produced by Stephen Wrench of https://musikandfilm.com fame. Cheers.
