Interested in opinions

First three songs I've recorded and mixed with Sonar.

Very interested in feedback regarding mixing and songwriting. Constructive critisism is the only way to learn!

I appreciate it very much. Thank you.

Hey...I listened to at least a portion on each song, I could only listen to the lo-fi version because I have a dial-up internet connection...It sounds like you put a lot of thinking, time, and effort into these songs...I think you sing well and I like the way you go in different directions within each song with a variety of chords...I am most impressed with the lead guitar playing. On the negative side: a lot of the instrumentation seems "pre-fabricated" to me (I don't picture real/human musicians playing the music)... I'm not a purist, I don't have strict rules about what can be used to make music, but in this instance (with country and folk styles of music) I found the "auto-accompaniment" sound distracting.

Cool, I like the songwriting and bluesy feel here.
Mix sounds pretty good, just a few minor nits/thoughts....
Drums are real laid back, not sure if you meant it that way.
Bass sounds a bit uneven in volumes/power at times, maybe could use some compression.
Nice lead playing and sound, vox are nice too.
Last chorus does make it a bit repetive, maybe add some more lead in there or another rhythm to spice that
Cool work here though, enjoyed the track

Thanks for the comments. Interesting, your comment about "auto-accompaniment". With the exception of the drums, for which I use BFD, I played every instrument real time. So I wonder what that means?
