That imagination may be hard to come by? The is nothing in those tracks I can't be fixed, either in GB or Logic. Or if your one of those pro tools folks.
they all work and are amazing. I started life with a team 4 tracker that still works and still has recordings which I have not been able to beat.
Thank you Sir ,you have been a recording engineer a couple of years more than I have been alive 
,
I agree with you, I also love The sound of analog 4 track recordings .
Thank you

there is something additional I notice, and that is latency. there seems to be a lag on all the tracks with the drums. I loaded your tracks to GB and had a go, with my vocals and guitar and I was dead on.
You may wanna check your setup, and never use monitor from the DAW. always use a recording studio mixer. they will have the proper routing. I send the DAW to the board, and send the mix back to the inputs and I am always dead on time. This is a tricky setup but well documented in the mackie mixers manual.

I will check my setup and investigate the latency issue .

You said that you dont have any good quality reference track for this genre and that your skills are limited. You were wrong when you said that your skills are limited, opposite is truth. In one short listen I could tell you that you just know what is the essence of 1920s blues. The sound took my breath away. Sound is excellent. 10/10
