Middle Class Man (2ND ATTEMPT AT RE-DOING THE LEAD VOCAL)

 I really like that guitar Fred! Was that a reverse reverb? That's cheating.  I remember a tune the Dixie dregs recorded where Steve Morse actually composed a solo and then figured out how to play it backwards. So they flipped the tape around; he records the solo backwards, and when they flipped it back all the notes faded in like volume swells but even cooler. One day I'm gonna try that.
 
And I can only hope to attain middle class status one day.

Nice work Freddy as always.
I second the above on the clarity.I understand the tune is kind of "trippy" though. I could make it all out if I listened closely. The efx you have going on do add to the tune though so I wouldn't ever take them out. 

Your delay get in the way of some of your lyrics, man.  Other than that, it's a true rocker.
Great reverse effect on the guitar solo.  I like the 60s feel on the overall tune.

Hello Wayfarer, Paul, Tim, FoggyMindTheBand, John B, and Daryl.  First of all, thanks to each of you for taking the time to listen and offer me your suggestions.  I thought that I would respond to all since there definitely a consensus that I used too much reverb (I can't help it -- I just love the stuff) and that the vocals should come forward a bit.  Since it was almost unanimous, I must have messed up on that accord.  Soooo,  I re-recorded the lead vocal.  I have to do that because I used my favourite FX box (Boss Digital Delay) and not a VST plug-in that I could just delete.  I do have to admit that it does sound better  --- hopefully, not too dry.  The timing is a wee bit better on the harmonies now also.
 
BTW, I am not clever enough to use the trick that Wayfarer mentioned nor did i use reverse reverb.  I used my second favourite (or maybe it is a tie with the Boss) FX box my Zoom G1 set on Slow Attack probably setting S2 or S3.  It kind of slowly walks in to the note and does kind of give a reverse effect.
 
Again, thanks for your suggestions and comments.  They were spot on and I appreciate it very much.
 
Regards.

That's a lot better. I can understand the words now. Before I couldn't quite make out all of them.

Freddy, third time's the charm. Sounds good and I really like the lyrics.

Hi Bill.  Thanks for re-listening and for commenting.  The vocals did give me a problem with this number.  I still am not 100% percent with this rendition but hopefully, this is indeed better.  Maybe I have reached the point where it is best to walk away from this song for a while and then come back to it.  Thanks again!!!
 
Hi Tim.  Ya, I don't know what it is but I do like "'verby" vocals.  Maybe it dates back to when I was a wee bit of a lad and listened to the old rock 'n roll songs that were recorded in tiled rooms to get that echo-like sound.  Thanks again for re-listening and responding.
 
Hello Bjorn.  Thanks!!!  I appreciate your taking time to listen and for your suggestions and support on this song.
 
Hey Bob.  For a grouchy old man, I am doing well.  Thanks for your listening and for taking the time to comment on this song.  I very much appreciate it.  I took a quick look at your website and it looks like you have been very busy and added a lot!  I hope things are going well for you!!!
