Mix-wise, although the parts are easily heard it seems very narrow, almost mono. Performance-wise, I really like it. Great feel & great playing, and the vocals rock. And the lyrics make me smile.

Cool song. Agree that the mix seems mono.

I tried both Firefox and IE to try and access the song but got an error message that it was pulled.
Guess I'll try again later.

Glenn, this is positively the very best song that I've heard from you. You sing and play it with such passion that I've scheduled a physical exam. The lyrics are to die for. You truly have an ear for the blues. You and Nate excelled in this collab.

I believe this is the first song I've heard from you and I REALLY liked it. This is right in my wheelhouse. I've only been away for a few months. How long you been up here? Anyway, nice blues.

Thanks so much guys.
I'm trying to get some passion into my vocals.
Pug, thanks, I've been away for quite a while but been a member since 2011.
This is a great forum and I love that there are all genres and that guys know the technical reasons for their criticisms.
Very helpful.

Yep +1 there. On the mix, the drums seem a bit back to me?. A tasty tune.

Thanks for listening. I agree I could bring up the drums. That seems to be the trend.

I really like it. Your playing and singing is great! Really like the guitar tones(acoustic and electric). That kick drum sounds great on my setup ,I was feeling it time it started thumping. I don't know if you fixed the drums but I was having no trouble hearing them at all. Very nice clean mix, sounds great!

This is awesome! Love the lyrics and your delivery! Nice lead playing. It's got a great beat. I think as others have said that the drums need to come up a bit. Good song!

M_Glen_M , your song sounds pretty nice …it's very ballsy w a lot of punch dig your voice , dig your tones , overall you got something happening here ... I think if you want to take it to the next level your gonna need a bass part this certainly is a good listen Kenny
