Granny Niblo - Cover

I wasn't familiar with this song or band, so I gave the original a listen as well. It's a good cover, fairly true to the original version. The guitars are too loud for my taste. They overload the midrange and drown the vocals and pretty much everything else. The original is that way to some extent, but you can tell they did a lot of thinning with EQ to create a little bit of air in the song. If were my mix, I'd turn those guitars way, way down to open up the sonic landscape a little and let the bass, drums, and vocals breath. The guitars for the most part are doing a kind of ambient, wall-of-sound thing anyway. They don't need to be foregrounded to get the job done. Just my opinions.
 
Very good recreation - I actually prefer your version as it is a bit brighter (that's using YT to compare but I think it's a fair comparison)
The mix is darn close to the same for levels, balance, feel etc. Performance is top notch as well. Great man! :D
