Can tell from this track and the influences that you've listed that your a fan of classic rock! Decently recorded and a mean solo to boot.

Has deceptively good control of vocals, but it doesn't come across that way. Very refreshing way of singing, stands out amongst a crowd of artists who sound the same. Really liked the arrangement around 1:30 too.
