Hey Freddy!  nice work here.  mix is a little muddy sounding, vox sound a lot more up front than the rest of the instruments (no or too little verb?)  I agree with Jesse, I think I'd like to hear this a little higher register, but whether he meant this or not, I'd say bring the key up a half step or two.
 
nice guitar solo
 
drums sound a little "distant" - needs some clarity on them.
 
overall great sounding song!  I think the mix could use a little work, but it's already a good start!

Every time I visit the forum, you always have something new. Your output will surpass Bach one day. This is only a step off your usual thing, but you know I'm a big fan, so keep crankin' 'em out. And it's lawya a good idea to get your wife into the occasional song.

Hi Kevin.  Thanks for listening and the great suggestions.  I will make an effort to bring it up the register on this song after "sinus season".  I do most of my recording at night and this time of year, during evening hours, my voice is just a gravelly roar.  I used live drum loops from Beta Monkey.  There was not much bass in these brush loops but when I redo this number I will do some EQ to see if I can bring out the kick.  Thanks also for listening to Spooky Woman and for the kind comments.
 
Hey Allan.  Thanks for the kind comments -- much appreciated.  BTW I commented on a recent post that you did -- very cool stuff!!!
 
Hey Reece.  You always have good suggestions and I appreciate them.  I will try on the register but can't promise that it will work ;>)  I will try getting a more balanced sound out of the drums (e.g., response to Kevin above) and ya, maybe the vocals should come down -- just a bit.  Thanks again!!
 
Thank you Mark.  My output might out-do Bach (doubtful) but the quality certainly won't be matched to his  ;>)
I don't want to write too many songs about my wife  ---  she might get a swelled head, you know.  I appreciate the kind words.  Thanks again!!

Freddy,
 
Nice song and performance.    Only thing I might change other than above suggestions is to EQ the right and left rhythm guitars differently.  I mean leave one where it is but tweak the other one to give it a different sound.   They sound too similar.   Maybe put them in a different verb space so there is a clearer difference between the two rhythm guitar parts.  I would probably leave the one in the right channel where it is and tweak the left channel.. 
 
Really enjoyed the song.

Regards

Hi Freddy ,
 
Nice song man your tune has some of the typical Blues type of thing going on w the guitars ,yet the tune is playing out in a much broader genre of music style with the song structure and vocals ...
Sort of like it's own genre really in a way ...
 
Nice laid back story telling about the quality time you will get to spend with your woman after the cares of the day have played out ...
 
I'm sure your Lady dug what you have done here musically with your tribute to her .
all the best,
 
Kenny
