April 2014 original 
I have a rag tag collection of styles and this weekend I thought I'd dig through my Blues material and see what's up.
I opened a few old projects that I guess I'd wandered off and forgot about. This one was mostly done and just needed a little more drum work as it was just a straight pattern via TTS-1.  So I played a new snare part using Strike2. And didn't really do much else. 
 
I posted 5 songs that are close to finished and I'm sitting here listening on the office computer through my old Tannoy's making notes. This one I'm thinking needs some warmth somehow, it's a little brittle? Mid-rangy ?? 

Nice track Johnny and could clearly hear all the instrumentation.....yeah, very mid rangy and could really use some low end to boost the bottom.   

Thanks Mesh, Ya I'm just about to head upstairs and go at it again and that on my list for this batch of songs. 
Out of the batch I like the overall sound on this one

 so I'll use it as a guideline to get the others up to snuff:

Is that a guitar playing monkey in the SoundCloud pic?
I like monkeys :)
This is really cool. I couldn't get to listen on decent speakers but it sounded pretty good to me. The only thing that jumped out a bit was the ride cymbal.
Maybe add some bgvs?

I think this is really good as is.  Levels all seem good -- i am not listening on the best speakers so can't really add much on the EQ. 
Small idea: maybe a little slapback reverb on the vocals?  Kind of seems like that would be appropriate for the style of music. 

I agree with the slapback.

Ha ha, That's funny, I have delay on the vocals and backed it way off 'cuase I thought it was a bit cheesy. 
I'll meet you all half way :) 
Thanks for comments and listening. 
Daryl. I'll re visit the ride but I want it up front for this song. Might be the tone doesn't translate to cheaper speakers which can happen with cymbals so I'll proof it on a laptop. 
Back ground vocals are forthcoming. I have a former bandmate, female vocalist who will hopefully help out.  
I want to offer that I'll record a few songs for her in trade for vocals. 

Johnny, I'm listening on KRK Rokit 8's, and I think you're just a tad off on an otherwise good mix.  Maybe all you need is to add a few db's of 300-400 hz on the bass guitar, and pump up the bass drum, which I could barely hear.  Other than that, I just want to say that I enjoy both songs, and "I Won't See Daylight" is well worth the extra effort.

Very cool John, look forward to hearing it again.

I think mix is good, I could hear all the instruments clearly but I think it's lacking some tonal energy on the bottom.
