Hi Todd
I really like this! Great rootsy feel and hooky melody, and the baritone voice gives it tons of atmosphere.
Agree with Jmacdon that the chorus needs a little something, although I'm not sure a key change is the answer. But something to give it a little of its own identity within the song would certainly add interest.
I love the conversational lyric style, and your phrasing is spot on.
I'm a sucker for a song with a strong personality, and this has it in spades. Very enjoyable, thanks for sharing
