New song - Follow The River (remixed 9/21)

What a cool song Lynn! The things that stand out to me are your awesome vocals and the guitar...these are just the icing on a really tasty cake. So creative. Your music is an inspiration!

Hey, Lynn,
 
Wow, this is a really unique and very cool song with a variety of tasty elements blended into a nice tight sounding production!
 
I love the moody vibe, the piano, and synth on this one are excellent, and your guitar and vocals are always top notch.  The mix sounds full and wide with lots of punch.
 
You've always got a great, very recognizable signature sound.
 
Great stuff, Lynn, really well done as always!

OK, I agree great vocals! But aren't you kind of burying them, or making them compete, with synth pads, and a saxomophone? They can stand a bit of space to shine - just a thought. Maybe the synth pads in the "just like a river" chorus could be panned to the edges, or panned a little more away from the vocal?
 
That's a pretty sweet harmonica there! And I liked your backing vocals, very strong. 
 
cheers,
-Tom

This is very nice Lynn, though I agree with Tom the vox could be a little more out front.
 
Thanks for sharing

Awesome tune Lynn. Instrumentation and vox are wonderfully performed.

Great stuff Lynn - really creative. 
I think the main vocal could come up slightly/drop the fx mix slightly in the "Follow the river' sections.
Small crit though - really good stuff.

Very cool song Lynn!  I agree with most every ones comments.  REALLY like your guitar playing.  Very tasteful and excellent tones.  Vocals could come up, just a touch.  Vocals sound excellent other than that. 

Really cool song, Lynn.  It's got a bit of a dark and swampy vibe happening without actually being swampy, if that makes sense.   And the chorus is catchy!  Just solid work all around with this one from writing to arrangement to performance to mix.    Oh, and love the gong at about 2:30.   

my comment is "yay".
 
I love a loud track and this def a loud track. The only "distortion" (i.e. bad) is in that opening morphed vocal line. Later it's better.
 
Tasty guitar work Lynn. Maybe add just a tad distortion? That would give it that Gilmour feel. 

Steve, thanks for the kind words.  There are a lot of swamps near some major rivers.
 
Dan, I like your ideas and will give them a spin on the next pass.  Thanks for contributing.
 
Ed, thanks for your reply.  I like the idea about adding a little distortion to the guitar so will give it a try.
 
Wayne,  thanks for your kind words and ideas.  I'll work on the vocal.  The separation from the panning does indeed work better on speakers.  I'll look for a compromise.
 
Thanks again to all, and stayed tuned for more to come.

Yeah,  think the new mix does sit a little better, particularly the mids of the effected vocals.
 
Oh, did I mention this is a really cool song?   After hearing it again I think it's one of your best, hands down.
