Nice little ditty-o. The song is slathered with reverb and it doesn't sound real natural to me. I don't know if that's the way you intended it. I personally would back off on the reverb a bit. The delay on the vocals gives them a cool sound.
 
Far too much verb for my taste, especially on that upstroked electric guitar part. Cool otherwise.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I did intend heavy verb on the electric guitar but I agree I think overall there is too much on all the tracks.

I like the vocal effect too. Wasn't achieved by delay though. I just sang it twice and panned them differently.

It sounds like somebody got off tempo around 1:00.
I like the reverb, but it may be a little too much. (Not a lot though. It is pretty cool.)
 
Nice little tune

Have to agree little to much reverb, for me any way

i thought (just me) That little guitar solo that sarts at 2:20 sounded like it was faded up, i would have liked it at sharper at the beginning.

great work
 
Yup, this was pretty cool Dak :). Never expected to hear a cover of this in here.

I've actually only ever heard the grateful dead's version of this, but understood it to be a traditional tune. Yours is sort of country-ish. Super mellow and well played. Leading up to the 1 minute mark, the guitars seem to get out of time with each other a little bit, but it stabilizes afterward.

I might have liked to hear a single vocal track as the doubling seems to rob it of some emotional content. Your voice sounds good, but some of the subtle inflections are lost by the presence of a second you.

I kind of like the spacey reverb, but it is unusual. If it were me, I'd back it off a bit, but then again, I don't know nothin' about nothin' :D.

Thanks Heat. Like others stated there is a timing issue at 1:00. My first accoustic track, which was laid down first went a bit south. Didn't realize it until I was laying down a second acoustic track and the electric track. By that time I just said "oh well" :-)

I have second thoughts about the double vocals. I often layer 2 or more because I hate my voice and it will usually improve it. But this one I think maybe one would have been better. I still have all the dry tracks so I might do another mix down, maybe tone the reverb too.

Thanks again all for the honest opinions.

too much reverb on the low end, it muffles the bass a lot.
could use a little less on the main guitar. lead and vocals are fine with the verb.

you need to adjust the reverb on and eq the low end, tighten it up and you'll get a solid back behind the other instruments. it will really bring out everything else.

overall, not too shabby. reminds me of johnny cash and buddy holly. good job.
