That's a great piece of dark, sleazy blues, Arto.  Love the harmonica and the interesting bit of low-fi vinyl emulation.

Lovely blues groove.

I'd been toying with the idea of something similar (The Red Barn Murder - Maria Marten in 1827) - might have to hold off that idea for a bit now!! (I hadn't got too far other than "I'll do something" - and of course, twas the very bassline I was thinking of... and THIS is what it should sound like... )

Love the feel on this - a gorgeously threatening swing to it.
