Title: She's Calling the shots.

Another one on the gr55.
I wanted to try a sing with a rockabilly vibe.
Found a setting and stripped some of the stupidity off it and underneath was a guitar sound That fitted that shuffle I had in my head.
Originally had a bass sound on it but on clicking through the endless  presets found a nice fat bass sound  and added that along with the 1st one.
Hope you like it

What groovy little number! It has an Elvis Costello kind of vibe. It seems that like rockabilly vibe had a revival in the 80s and this sounds like it would be right at home with those sorts of track from that decade. Great production, especially on the vocals and nice, ripping guitar solo.

Well got that rockabilly style right. Nice foot tapper with aptly delivered vocals. And catchy too.

Rockabilly at its finest Kenny! The walking bass line and tone really keeps the bottom anchored down. Great lead vocal and the backing vox are cool. When the horns enter, they elevate the sound. The lead solo fits in just right. Nice work at getting an authentic Rockabilly sound!

Sounds great and it's a style that feels custom made for you! It's got the rockabilly vibe going, but also a whole lot of class.

Oh yes!  Great song and the arrangement is sooo spot on.  Vocal harmonies  - and the brass - are splendid.

Dead cool.

Elvis has not left the building. Very cool rockabilly tune. Good vocal and guitar work. I like that big ending!
