"Snake Charmer" (Rock) MIX #2 - Thanks Everyone for all the Input and Suggestions!

"Snake Charmer" (Rock)
 
Hi again, guys!
 
It's been a while.  Due to a very busy work schedule and crazy real life, I took about a year off from music, writing, recording, mixing and even playing.  Finally, about a month ago the music bug bit again and I was able to free up a couple hours for the studio.  Unfortunately, it's like relearning everything about recording and mixing again and trying to get my studio "ears" back.  LOL, Not to mention my decades old guitar calluses are gone and I'm like a 12 year old guitar "virgin" bleeding all over the fret board!  Anyway, I'm happy to be back again and working on some new music.
 
I just uploaded a Test Mix for a new song called "Snake Charmer".
 
If you can spare a few moments to check it out, as always, any and all helpful comments, suggestions, constructive criticism, input and ideas are very welcome, and also greatly appreciated!

Big thanks in advance for any observations, suggestions, comments and ideas!  You guys are the BEST!
 
Bob

NOTE: NEW MIX UP FROM ALL YOUR INPUT AND SUGGESTIONS!
 
I uploaded the remix (same link above) with everyone's input here on the forum who were kind enough to take time to listen and comment.
 
I upped the verse vocals a bit as everyone mentioned, and I tried to tweak the EQ and squeeze out a little more definition from the bass guitar.  LOL, Now, I'm hoping I didn't screw up the volume levels of the whole mix making the corrections!
 
If you get a chance to check the new mix, please let me know what you think.
 
Sincere thanks for all your help to everybody who listened and commented!
 
Best Wishes,
Bob
 

BOB IS BACK!!!  I'm glad that you have finally posted a song my friend.  You may have been away from recording for awhile but you ain't no virgin.  This number definitely rocks with the cool Bob sounds.  Nice one!!!

Hi, Allan,
 
Thanks, buddy, that's exactly the kind of input and observations I need while I'm trying to get my studio ears back!
 
After so much time off from recording I'm having a hard time getting the instrument levels and vocals balanced correctly, and not quite trusting my EQ decisions yet.
 
I'll definitely try to re-eq the bass tracks to squeeze out some better definition, and also adjust the rhythm guitar volumes a bit.
 
Thanks again, I really appreciate you taking time to check it out and your good suggestions and input!
 
Have a great weekend!
Bob
 

Bob, Bob, Bow, wow man - this is very powerful - your vocals are as good as it gets. Great guitar work and the mix sounds really well balanced.
 
Great tune.

Nice work Bob! Guitars are great as always! I always like listening to your stuff!

Not sure what happened yesterday Bob but I got a page not found, found now though.

This has the Bob sound from the get-go.  Cool fat guitar tones, solid drums, nice bit of organ.

Cool stuff Bob mix come across here nice, solid with good instrument separation and definition.

Can't wait to hear the final mix.

Hey, Wook, How are you brother? Hope you're doing well!
 
So sorry to hear about your faithful pup, Trudy, I know how that feels.  When a long time pet dies it can be like losing a family member.  Condolences, John.
 
Soundclick must have been having issues when you first tried to listen, thanks so much for checking back a second time and commenting, and also for your encouraging comments!  I'm trying to get my "Studio Ears" back in shape after such a long time off, and I always look forward to and appreciate your input and observations on my stuff.
 
Much appreciated, Wook, have a great week!
Bob

Hey, John,
 
How are you, buddy?  Hope you're doing great! 
 
Big thanks for checking this song out for me and for your kind comments and input!  Yes, Sir, it looks like I've got to bump up the low range vocals during the first half of the verse a little bit as per yours, Harry's and James' suggestions.  Comments and observations like that are a major help to me after such a long time away from recording and mixing. 
 
Thanks again, John and have a great night!
Bob
