Jam Tracks & Soloing Concepts #2

Jam #4 in this book is described as being minor with a major feel. Comparing it to jam #8, a minor song, there's a distinct difference in feel but I can't put my finger on just where the difference is coming from. If jam #4 is in minor it's difficult for me to determine where the minor aspect is coming from. The chords are in capital Roman numerals so they appear to be major. Is there something I'm overlooking? Thanks!
Listening to this again with more experienced ears (14 years later) this is a blues in major. With this said, it has a 1 2 2" 2 hook, so the blues scale (witch is a darker approach, and the same approach you use for minor) works well with this track. So, this is a wonderful example of a track you can both play light, and dark... very forgiving.
