This is nice.  The lyrics paint some evocative imagery and tell an interesting story.  Everything sounds great, but the bass really stood out to me as an important element in the song, and also just sounding particularly good.

It's all you need for a good time

In the UK White Lightning is vicious cheap cyder.

Nice vibe with the trumpets.

Bluesy and cool. Had to check out the Mountain Goats and I really get the inspiration. Your track feels a bit more intimate with the lofi drums and sparse instrumentation. Every sound feels very deliberate because of that sparseness. Great job on the lyrics too, the way you sing "Hail Mary" reminds me of "Old Mary" by The Dead Weather.

Thank you!

Thank you! The bass is a cheap Rogue run through the Sustainaid preset on a Fender Mustang Pro, with a bit of saturation and eq on the M8. Getting bass and vox to carry the harmony without needing guitar/pads was one of my goals, so I'm glad that worked for you

Hell yeah. Thank you!

Thank you! The trumpet was a "throw it in" idea, so I'm glad it worked for you

The only week I've been to the UK, all the ciders were nice and smooth. Looks like White Lightning got discontinued years before I came. But this

Is on-brand for moonshine too

Thank you! The sparseness is partially intentional (I wanted vox + bass to be strong enough not to need full chord backing) and partially because I usually don't have the bones of a song done until Sunday. I do like spare arrangements, so it works out, but I'd like to go fuller one day.

(Always like when Jack White goes weird, like "Old Mary." And he's so good at the blue note thing I'm trying)

Great tribute, very appropriate slightly ragged vocal delivery.

Thank you! I have no idea what he actually sounded like, so I choose to believe this is a flawless impression
