Listen to the track:

White soul, slinky Chicago blues. Labels and tags abound on this superb recording from the multi-talented Chris Siebold and his resident band of local peerless professionals Pyscles.

Some of the songs in the Session Files collection have been arranged, if not partially composed, in the studio. Others come fully and completely arranged and I’m Done falls into the latter category, which is almost essential when using a brass section (multiple players) as co-ordinated parts need to be planned—and preferably written out—in advance. 'Looseness' in a brass section performance is rarely a sought-after quality.

The musicians on this session were super tight since they'd already been playing the song live. And does that show! The playing displays a level of relaxed proficiency that’s hard to produce without genuine familiarity with the material.

The instrumentation is fairly standard rock/blues with the addition of brass and some admirably reserved organ. It’s the groove that propels this track and armed with such this is a fantastic candidate for remixing. Kind of no matter you do it all sounds good. That’s because everything sits in its place and is played to perfection. It’s all arranging and playing skills.

There’s just a single lead vocal on this track. If you want to strut your harmony chops this would make an excellent choice on which to do so, either with a harmony on the lead vocal or with backing vocals. There’s bags of room to experiment.

This would also make an excellent track to isolate any of the key instrumental parts – certainly bass, main guitar, keys, and see if you can catch and re-create the vibe of the original player. We include a chord chart in the photo folder so you won’t even need to work out what the chords are.

The top class arrangement and playing on this track makes it a joy to mix, or remix.
