I caught a Tommy Bolan kind of vibe from this.
Nice work. But, I didn't get the "spiritual vibe" from it that you were going for. It's good though..... kind of old school rocker on acoustic.

I thought I commented on this a couple days ago. We used to have an acoustic quartet and it sounded a bit like this. We had stand up bass and hand drums. I loved that group. This has a "The Band" sound in harmony areas. I really like this!

Love The Band and the live feel.

Glenn, I've been following your tunes for the last year or two, and this is one of your better ones. It has a really nice vibe and the acoustics and vocals are well performed. That being said, I think it could be a bit more "in your face" overall. I'd like to hear your voice pop out of this song just a bit, and maybe one of the guitars could be louder than the other to give it some depth. But, these are minor quibbles, and just my personal taste. Overall, this is very pleasing.

Thanks for the constructive comment Lynn. It's appreciated.
Now that you mention it, it seems obvious. Lol
I'm going to bring out the vox and a few drum fills for punch and trade off guitars with automation.
Thanks again.

Nice song! Catchy.
The mix sounds pretty good here with nice width. Like Lynn though the vocals sound just a bit distant, but that could be partially due to the timing. I think if you could tighten up the doubles/harmonies just a little bit it might help that. Otherwise, well done.

I didn't get the "spiritual" feel but I did hear a great sounding acoustical song with some good harmonies. In my listen the vocals sound as if they must have been brought forward as suggested.
Nice one!

Like the others I quite enjoyed this and overall it has quite a pleasant sounding vibe and the mix translates well here.
The vox needs some work perhaps back off on the doubling in some places with a little less reverb to make it a little more in the face.
Thanks for sharing.
