excellent, Herb!  
 
the drums seem a little lacking in the low end.  I hear the bass good and it sounds great, but I can't hardly hear a kick at all and all of the drums sound "high passed"
 
I would prefer a little less verb on the vox, too.  they sound like they have a lot more verb than everything else.
 
good job!

Really good song Herb. I like it the way it is. Bass is strong on my system. Yeah the kick could be up a hair but that doesn't really impact the overall quality of the song. Sometimes we get way too much in the technical instead of just experiencing the song. Heck, and other times we say everythings great when it's not!
 
I always start with the song. If the song is good and something in the production detracts from it, then I like to comment. If the song is not good, then I don't think it matters too much. Just MO.
 
Anyway, I like what you are doing and want to hear more.  
have a Merry Christmas!

I would suggest that if you were to enhance the low end that it be a moderate adjustment.  Not just because that's the popular advice to give, but because I think the stronger high end presence is what captures the mood of this genre.  I can hear a lot of interesting high end dynamics that I would hate to hear masked by low end boost.  Of course, this is all of my opinion (do I still have to give that disclaimer in every post or have we all acknowledged the subjectivity of music tastes?).
 
Great work and great vocals!  This is my first time hearing one of your tracks.  I enjoyed it.

Accordion to me, you did a pretty good job.
 
 
Did you fix the bass guitar? Sounds fine by me, and as mentioned, bass isn't really featured in this type of music anyway. You just have to hear it a little through the jukebox speakers that you are crying on as you lean on it.  :)
 
I think the mix sounds pretty darn good! I'd bring the kick drum up as others have said,
and less reverb on the vocals (but overly reverbed vocals are a staple of the genre here - I'm thinking late '70's c & w)
 
The thing that started bugging me was the omnipresent and uni-volumed hi hats and cymbals, I think if they came down a bit, it would bring the vocal out front some.
 
Those are all just niggles anyway, it sounds pretty together as it is. Good one!
 
cheers,

Herb,  solid tune here for sure.  Glad this one made it to the finish line.  I think you hit the mark, very interesting tune but not overly saturated with instrumentation.  Very tasty, congrats on another gem!  Mix sounds great on this end.

Like a long-lost Eagles song -- very nice mix and the playing was top notch.  Good one :)

Really nice balance across the whole song. Has some very dreamy moments too. I'm siding with the other about the bass, but most importantly the kick drum. I can't tell if it's there or not, I think my brain is adding it to where I think it should be.
Beautiful track though, just needs a few tweaks.
