'One more for road'

This is a bit different for me, and features my first attempt at a harmonica solo after getting my first one last xmas (I now have too many!)
  
 Any comments / advice gratefully received.

    Hi Mark they did some changes to the Forum and your cakewalk account, assuming you have one, that links the sign on to that account.  If you go here http://www.cakewalk.com/About/Email/1 they may be able to help you out with your sign on.
     
    The link problem is caused by the need to have 5 posts befor you can post an active link, it is to help control spam.
     
    You could always just type the link out and the ones with one (me) or more active cells can copy and paste it
     
    Look forward to hearing your tune.

    Hey thanks Wookiee. I'll see if I can resurrect my old account. Doesn't take much to confuse me, but it got me stumped!

    I tried typing the link in but the site is too clever for that too. :-( 
    I tried requesting new password for my old account but the site says the account doesn't exist, which isn't true, as I can see my old posts. I love technology!
    Guess I'd better be patient and wait a few days for the new account to let me post links...

    Beautiful dark mood, over-the-top don't-give-a-damn vibe. Lead vocal has terrific personality, and the effect on the voice is right on. Sound like a live recording -- in a good way. Nice job!

    Thanks for listening and those comments Larry. Your description is pretty much what I was aiming for. I think I need to work out a more crafted el guitar part that earns its place better, and I'd like the strings to cut through more but otherwise hopefully its nearly there.

    Finally got the chance to have a furry listen sounds well here though the drums sound a little in the back, that could have been your intention.
     
    Thanks for sharing.

    Great number.  The arrangement is good - as is the playing - and the vocals are excellent.  I liked the wide panning that you used.  I don't know if it is my player (?) but it on my end it sounded as if it were recorded a bit hot.  Parts of it sounded a bit fuzzy as if were being overdriven.  However, it could be my ancient and very modest equipment.
    Nice one!

    Very cool song and arrangement...  just enough retro vibe to give it a little something extra.  Really like the vocals.
     
    I do agree with Freddy though that the mix sounds a bit overcompressed with a few bits of digital distortion.  But it's still a cool tune.

    This is a great song that is full of energy and a cool vibe.  I, too, am a fan of your vocals and the way that you mixed them into the song.  I like the harmonica, but I wondered if it might have been a touch too hot when you recorded it.  Overall, there's a lot to like about this, and it is very close to what I call radio ready.

    All the best,
    Lynn

    Wookie / Freddy / Steve / Lynn - thanks for your comments all. I think the clipping should be resolvable - trying to squeeze too much comp and volume out of the master bus probably. The harmonica is also tweakable. I ran in through a preamp to get some drive, but probably made it a bit too harsh / fuzzy. Will have a tweak. THanks again - helpful comments.

    Very good song/arrangement/performance and mix Mark. I completely agree with everyone that your vocals are very good and I personally would have liked to hear it a tad bit more louder in the mix, but it also may be how it just translated through my headphones. Great job on the production!!

    Thanks for listening and those comments Mesh
     
    I've tried a new mix in which I've tried to address the comments received. I think it is sounding better:
