Haven't had time to listen to the whole thing, but from what I have listened to I like it. You guys sound pretty good.

I enjoyed the instrumental part and the album cover.
The singing really was not nearly the quality of the playing.
The lyrics were also pretty rough- I am sure the singer on St. James was not very comfortable with phrasing in the English language

@ Dog Face : thanks for the appreciation ! I like your recordings too, I might even steal that BB Arnold cover of yours. I like to play over a jungle beat, but never know what to sing on it.
@ Goldbrick : thanks ! The album cover was done by a friend of mine, who draws children's books under the name of Peter Elliott.
You are right about the singing : our singer doesn't speak English, so his intonations are not quite right. For our next recordings, I will sing more songs myself, and I'll try to improve Bruno's pronunciation on the ones he'll sing.
I sang the tune "If I send for my baby", what do you think about it ? Is it better ?

@ The Gloth - was going to write to say that your singing was more to my taste. Would like to hear you sing through a standard microphone as well.
Good musicianship - especially the horn player. Occasionally the rhythm guitar wasn't as locked in as could be. The harp was good in that it chose its moments to shine, although could use some more variety at times. Probably too much wailing and trills on the 4 draw - I'd suggest some quality time working on your 3 draw bends.
Nit-picking aside overall it's a very good debut. More importantly what did you think?
