Thanks all. Doing what I can with vocals...no metronome...I don't use one at any stage of recording or mixing. Haha Edit: I realised what you can hear Wookie....it's a woodblock I recorded in verse 2 and the outro.

btw, I hear a bit of a Davey Jones sound in your vocal! 




Ditto - I hear Davey in there too.       
 
If The Monkees had more of a country/folk vibe it might have sounded like this.   Good mix, good tune.   I really liked the little bits and pieces you layered throughout.

This is fun to listen to - I do like the feel of Dylan in your voice. I think the mix is very clear - I like the separation. I do think the overall mix could use a bit of global reverb. Overall I like this tune a lot - well don

Thanks steve & Markus. A bit more reverb globally I think would work too.

I too liked the organicness of your voice, a la dylan.  Also, the guitar solo was simple and melodic, supporting the gist of the song (rather than showing off.)

Yep, the solo I just thought....make it like the tune of the vocal. When it's too hard to fit something else in that's a great fallback.
 
Thanks for listening

Nice rawness/ realistic feel to this tune.  I felt the verse vocal could come up just a touch.

Thanks Michael. I really feel like this one turned out the best of all I've done. Interestingly, I went back to see just exactly what I did to the mix, and wouldn't you know it...stock plugins...and very basic stuff. There's no fancy mixing...and only sparse use of plugins. Hmmm...there might be a lesson in that for future stuff. 
 
I have another song called 'Losing Ground' and I threw the kitchen sink at it in terms of plugins...and it sucks.
