Nice work. Instrumentation all fits well together and the mix is great. The vocal sounds great, but doesn't sound like it is the same space?

Nice one Daryl. Always wished I had a woman that could sing. All they usually can do is cook (hopefully).

Great vocals! She is very good. She could use some rounder - softer EQ. Sounds too mid-rangey. I love what you did with the track. The solo part is very creative. Kinda like a Tim Borton/Danny Elfman thing.

cool twisted version of this old standard! Just like Tim said, a wife/girlfriend who can sing is just great - I would be happy if my wife would simply just understand and respect my love for music and stop nagging around  Your current Mrsdaryl1968 has a great voice!

Hi Daryl, interesting take on this classic. Great vocals, but as noted eq is a bit funky also they could be a bit louder.

I love the innovations you've made on this cover. Very clever.
The Mrs. has a great voice and sang it well. Your backing tracks are superb. I agree with others above in saying that the voice treatment sounds a little odd, but other than that the production is excellent.

Hats off to the two of you.

I thought it was well done.
I thought that the vox were specially effected to sound that way... kinda retro but not fully.
I like it all the way around.

Well, I really like this. Cool arrangement. When we had our acoustic quartet I loved singing this song. Then in the blues bands we had a bit different arrangement. THIS is really a great cut. I agree with the vocal mix crits. She (the current Mrs.Daryl1968) does a really nice job on this. I really enjoyed listening. I listened yesterday o my phones and today on the monitors. I really liked the mix better in my monitors. That's a bit unusual for me.

Very nicely done. Has a nice summertime feel to it. Nice instrumentation and backing tracks. The vocals are nice and clear but like the others above could use something to fit the bulk of the other tracks, maybe a touch of verb or echo. Just a thought. Nicely arranged and a nice production.
Peace and Blessings, John

Cool version Daryl and Elizabeth. Love the production style, somewhere between Portishead and John Barry Vocal treatment works perfectly to my ear'oles.

A different take on an old standard. I, too, think the vocal treatment works. And yea, pass on the compliments to the singer. Really nice job. And all the other tracks. Just excellent all around. It is hard to make a well-known standard your own, but you did it.

Why thank you Mr Bapu - I really appreciate your words of kindness but would appreciate if you would not take your hat off as it is usually the only piece of clothing you wear and there are ladies present
