A nice idea for an arrangement. Panu’s vocals really work well with the blues. I do have a couple of suggestions:

1. A little less busy with the lead instruments. In my opinion, with the blues, a singer shouldn’t really have to fight off soloists. That works better as call and response, with the singer, sax and guitar trading riffs, not fighting to overlay one another.

2. The mix is a bit over-saturated. Its peaking, and there’s a bit too much compression. I’d ease it off. Better a too-quiet mix than a too-loud one.

opinions are like… elbows. everybody’s got one. so please take mine with a grain of salt. the B/T is played & produced beautifully. it does sound bunched in the middle and all of one volume. i’d automate the dynamics and pan things out to add some space. and i’m not sure whether melodyne enhances a protest song so much. but your chops are well displayed here & your talent is quite evident.
