Slow and bluesy song (vocals+lyrics: narva9 @ccmixter.org).
Stumbled upon this acapella tune from narva9 and thought 'hey, let's add some blues instrumentals'. So I recorded a bit of mouth harp and guitar playing, and twiddled with a sort of shuffled drumloop. It didn't work out as groovy as I intended, but has its own nice drive.

Bluesy Groove
I think it has a nice groove to it, kinda has an unusual feel to it that lends to a unexpected sort of grooviness.
Semi-shuffle
The length proportion of 8ths in a straight rhythm is 1:1, in a pure 'blue' shuffle it's 2:1 - which actually means that Blues/Boogie is based on a 3/8 metric, or triplet respectively.
Since the vocals in Walk On are rather straight, I found the combination with a 2:1 shuffle was sounding a bit strange, so I created a medium thing with a 1.5:1 (or 3:2) proportion, audible in the hihat beats.
