I thought it was an interesting piece. i enjoyed the intro alot. it was full of life. the lyrics were pretty good. nice way to put blues and rock into another level. kinda like slow and fast at the same time.

Thanks man, I appreciate it. I was worried that everyone hated it! lol
 
I like the mix you've got here. That bass is boomin' man! I can see some harmonies coming in on some places. Don't worry if you don't get a response. Sometimes my posts just fade away as quickly as I post them. People listen though.
 
Thank you, I appreciate it! You thinking some harmonies, maybe,...
 
Great mix, though the vocals need some more compression, the volume level goes up and down on them a bit and there are sounds that come close to popping or muffling out. I don't think harmonies are really necessary at all, it's a strong vocal performance and it catches just the right energy and attitude. Yeah, just compress the heck out of the vocal and you are done I'd say.
 
Agree with the vocals. Dont be afraid to set a 10:1 ratio and squeeze the hell out of it and see what happens. Also a little to much ssssss on the vocals. I do agree the bass is boomin, but thats a personal thing. On music like this I like a boomin bass. Play with the vocals and post a remix.

Thank you for the critique! I was thinking about redoing the vocals, but I may try and remix with compression. Thank you!

Will do, and thank you for the listen and comments!
 
I think this is pretty damn good. A little sibilant with vocals. Vocals might be a touch dry too. Good stuff!!
 
I like the mix! I agree with the sibilance on the vocals, I actually like your idea of re-doing the vocal I think it could be improved.
I'd like to hear more emotion in the vocal. But I like this Bluesy song.

I really like this except for the stereo image - the bass on one side & the rhythm git on the otehr don't balance for my ears - too may locations cues from the guitar.
 
ya, de-esser, also, wouldn't mind a little tape echo on the vocal, or something else, I appreciate the dry vocal, but I like a little moisture too :D

Ovrerall very nice.

More emotion in the vocals, I think I may have to agree. The vocals may be thw weakness of the song. Thank you for your honest critique, I very much appreciate it.

I should have posted that a B3 organ is going to be added in stereo. I plan to pan the organ to the far right and left to hold everything together, I wanted to expand the sound of the song. I appreciate the listen and feedback.

Thank you, I appreciate the comments. A de-esser!?! I have never heard that term, but I like it!
 
This sounds pretty dang good to me. Nice tone on the guitar. Good vocals too. The whole things sounds pretty good to me.
 
Agree with most of the above, a little sibilance to be addressed, more compression on the vocals, and maybe a bit of delay??

And It would be my preference to have the bass in the middle too, though it didnt distract me too much..I listen to old soul records and some of them have the lead vocals on one side, ah the early days of stereo ;)
