Wow, that was terrific, some of the stand outs were the bass line and the horns - everything was mixed really nicely and had a good all round feel to the end product. Are you doing all this in the box, or with other musicians?

The song sounded good, but, as with all rehearsal videos, the sound kinda drifts in and out. I tried looking the words up on Google, but could only find another (live?) video of a different band playing the same song, which was unfortunately around the same quality.

Thanks for the compliment; yes, perform there monthly and I'm on the committee, so quite involved with them.
Stray cats: I liked that shaker in the background, are you getting people to join you, or using a multi-tracker in some form to get some other instruments in there? When I was first listening to it, I thought I hadn't heard it, but as I got further in, it felt familiar, so maybe I have heard it before, but just didn't give it a lot of attention ... anyway, it was a nice rendition!!
Yellow bird: You are correct with the key being a bit high for your voice, you sounded a bit strained, but (mostly) covered that over effectively. This song sounded a bit more rushed than the stray cats one, but a good effort nonetheless!!
Cheers
