It's a stretch for my range but hopefully it doesn't feel strained?
Tempted to keep adding trax but trying to keep this as simple as possible.
Tips on production?
Done with BR800 mics into Sonar
Yamaki deluxe.
Thanks guys

That soundclick link won't work on an android phone (mobile or desktop version) ... Their fault not yours.. So I'm guessing you are losing audience out of it..

Good point, I have changed the post to include SoundCloud.
Thanks Doc.

Hey, a nice surprise, a great Nilsson cover! Your vocals don't sound strained at all, very nice harmonies too! You have a great voice. I really like how you end the song with a choir-like restatement of the chorus, but there's a whole lot of reverb in there, maybe a bit too much. Every now and then it sounds like there are some coyotes yipping along with you. I think the effect is because one of the harmony vocals indulges here and there in a little emotive stuff, while the other doesn't, and the divergence gives that effect.
 
I'm going to have to look up other stuff you've posted, really nice work!

Thanks so much Kevin. I appreciate your listening and the comments. Lol The coyotes might be my voice cracking up.
 

MGM,
 
I like the way you've given this classic tune a simple upbeat folky arrangement. And your vocal doesn't sound strained at all. However, they harmony vocal sounds pitchy to me ( bear in mind mind that no one has ever accused me of having decent pitch).
 
Enjoyed it.
 
Cheers,

Classic song Glenn, I like what you've done. Your feel is spot on and the acoustic solo towards the end I think really adds some flavour. Listening through headphones it does seem like everything is fighting to be at the front of the mix. Maybe the rhythm could be dropped back a bit (in the 3D space, not volume) so it's not intruding on the vocals. Not sure if that is the answer and I haven't listened on monitors so take this with a grain of salt.
I had the same thought about the reverb as a previous post but in the end I decided I liked it.
Just a thought on first listen. Great work, thanks for sharing.

Thanks Bert, I'll listen for pitches on the harmonies specifically. 
Rebel, Thanks for the comments. An excellent observation on the fighting for the front.
Up until recently I've had the reverse problem so I guess I'm ahead there.
I'll try the rhythm pulled back with some reverb (It has none). That does seem sensible.
My wife agrees that there was "something not right" on that part and I bet that's it.

Hi Glen,
 
I think the singing was great, and the guitar playing too, but I'm not 100% sure on the mix. I wish I could help, but mixing this stuff isn't my strong point really. Nice lead tone when that kicks in. Might just be the rhythm guitar. I also don't think that the reverb on the vocals at the end worked that well, but that's just my opinion.
 
Nice cover overall though
 
cheers

Thanks Andy,
I'm assuming you heard the latest version uploaded last nite, so this is a little disappointing, but really appreciated.
I had added a bit of verb to the rhythm guitar per another poster's suggestion and thought it did blend in better.
Perhaps I overdid the verb at the end?
