January Song - HELP ME

This is a blues song I wrote and re-worked to be a bit more rocking. Let me know what you think. Looking for Mix input - Song Structure input - Overall Quality. What you like, what you don't like

Song: HELP ME (this will open in a new window)

Background: I seem to forget about dynamics when I'm playing and tracking all the music, it's easier when you're in a band because band mates can help carry the load. It also allows you to focus on making your part sound great. When you're recording all your tracks, you all most have to have multiple personalities. Singer, guitars, basses, drummer, then producing, tracking, mixing and mastering. That's 8 different split personalities in each song, all of them equally as important as the other and all of them fighting for their spot light. I'm a bass player at heart, been playing for over 20yrs, but in this song I had to remove bass parts that were clouding up the song. The producer side of me won that battle, while the bass player side of me stormed out of the studio and slammed the door on his way out. The other 7 personalities laughed and talked behind his back while giving the producer a high five. OK I'm technically losing it. Oh did I mention I added a keyboard sound effect in there, don't know where that guy came from. I think he was lost and wondered into the studio. It was most def after the bass player walked out.

Gear:
Bass Guitar: Squier Fender P-Bass
Guitar: Gibson SG
Drums: Programed
Vocals: AT2020 condenser mic going through a ART Pro-Channel pre-amp
