Excellent singing and guitar work. I can't check out the mix in the headphones because I currently have an ear infection. But through my laptop speakers it sounds great.

Good Stuff - nice vocal - soemthing wierd going on in the mix - the middle is spread wierdly in the begining - kind of disappears under the vocals - do you have some kind spatial thing going on with the guitars?

 

[R D Smith]

Good song and story. I really enjoyed it.

@Eric V , Thanks for the listen and comment. I hope your ear infection clears up soon. I had one 4 yrs. ago that blew out my eardrum. It was a Nightmare for about 6 months before getting back to normal. Open back headphones were recommended by my doctor. Still don't have any ..
@Papanate , No "spacial" stuff happening but .. I did rebalance the panning of the intro instruments. Mandolins were pretty far out from center. That was the only thing I could find that may have sounded wierd to you. Thanks .. ms
@R D Smith , Appreciate that. This was a pretty strange one for me. I sure wish I could flat pick like the bluegrass players..
Link now reflects a remix with quite a bit of work under the hood .. Thanks .. mark

Nice. I like the urgent muted picking. A mandolin?
Cool tune.
Great groove.

 

[RFR]

Excellent.

 

[PorterhouseMusic]

Yeah - that's nice! Great vibe. Well done.

Excellent version, Mark. In several ways, I like your arrangement better than the original , especially the vocal treatment.
