Whiskey & Cigarettes

So that's your first verse?  I can hardly wait for the second verse.  I say that because I'm a blues lover, and this could be a contender if you're not careful.  The performances are quite tasty and leave me wanting more.  The tone of your guitar is right on, as are the piano and organ tracks.  Your voice sits in the mix just right, at least on my monitors.  Yet, the overall impression I'm left with is that the whole thing is mastered so loudly that it sounds squashed to my ears.  Blues has a lot of dynamics, but I don't hear them in this version.  Everything is at the same volume, and I miss the breathing so common to the Blues.  That's the only thing I have to suggest, all else is right on.  I'm sure you're a long ways from home, so I will wait for the finished version.  All the best to you.

Hi Lynn, glad you like. Your comments about dynamics are spot on. Although it's not mixed yet, that is an area I sometimes don't pay enough attention to, thanks for reminding me. I will definatly bare that in mind when it's done and ready to mix. Mr Virus, thanks for the comments on the vocals, although I must admit it luck more than design. Vocals are the bit I least like doing, usually take a lot of takes to get something useable. Rosco

very cool!  you got me with the drum licks at the beginning and it only got better from there!

I do think your guitar is way too hot (overcompressed) before the vocals come in.

but otherwise, this is fantastic!
