Yo, like the basic premise of the tune.  I like the guitar work too.  What are you using for effects on your guitar? 
I personally would like the vocals more upfront, but that seems to be what I always say.  It sounds like there is a heavy chorus on there or something.  I really like the horns too.  Are you using a midi guitar?
 
Thanks

Jesse, thanks for checking it out. Vocal is about as close up front as it can get without getting really depressing. Guitars are all my epiphone casino through my Pod (no midi) and the bass is a squire pbass (with a SD Quarter pounder pup). The effects on the lead guitars (they are doubled) reverb and lots of drive.

Love the tune. Awesome instrumentation choices. Great tone and style. Vox need to come up a tad IMO.

Scotty (is this correct? Or did I confuse you with someone else?) - thanks for the good vibes - I did as you said. Bumped the vocal, brought the harmony up a bit while I was at it. This feedback is so very, very helpful and encouraging. Thanks!

The other comments have it covered, so just another one here that enjoyed your tune very much!

Well I think I listened to this after you have made some adjustments? I think it's a really great tune, very cool chord changes, melody, and lyrics. So it's hard to ask for more than that!
 
If this were my song, I'd completely nuke that harmonica. Maybe just keep the "reggaeish backbeat" hits, those kind of fit. If you like the line it plays, maybe another instrument. I could hear some B3 on this!
 
And, if you say you've already brought the vocals up, then OK but I'd say bring 'em up again. I don't think the listener would be depressed at all - your voice has life experience in it, and that's cool.
 
nice one! 
cheers,

Sixfinger,
 
Thanks for checking it out and even better - saying you enjoyed. I did listen to you big band mix - just haven't commented yet.
 
Tom,
 
Yes, you must have heard the most recent (and final unless I find I can't sleep at night without making more corrections). I do appreciate all the comments. Nuke the harmonica - on the surface it sounds like a bad comment and then I figured you could have said nuke the harmonica player. Seriously, thanks for the positive feedback.
 
And yes, I have plenty of life experience. Plenty. Thanks again.
