I enjoyed that, a very nice well played, good vocal and production thanks Bat nice job.

I love to hear you play acoustic.  This piece has a vintage vibe that I love.  Your deep well of creativity is impressive!

Well Bat , I feel like a moron even trying to offer you advice because everything you do is top notch and this ain't no exception. I would however like to hear a little more bottom end  overall on the mix and IMO you could take the percussion and put it in the middle with some panning and make the track sound bigger. However if you do not do anything else to it ,it still sounds great.
Edit: I am listening thru Yamaha ns10m's and they aren't known for their bottom end response.

Love them bongos Gonzo! or congas or whatever they are called. This song is so Batsbrew!  

I like this a lot. Probably my favorite song of yours that I've heard so far. I thought some of the harmonies were a bit strong in a few places, but that may have been your intention. I really like the interplay between guitars. Very cool tune!

hey teego, thanks for listening, man, it's always good to hear how this comes across to others,
so it's always helpful, even if i don't agree with a critique, i at least can solidify my decisions and convince myself i did it right!
LOL
the bottom end is plenty,
any more and i felt like i was adding artificial low end..... didn't feel right without a kick drum or something.
i always go for maximum low end, short of mud and rattling windows!
i do like the idea of panning, i might try that on the re-mix.
this is off of my first album, that i will re-release because the original record label it was on, went tits up.

Easily one of my favorite songs I've heard on here! The guitars are all chorded very cleanly, the rhythm is intriguing, the vocals have harmonies that just work, the words are just enough to keep interest, and then come the jam sections. It's a great arrangement and a super throwback to Crosby Stills Nash and Batsbrew.
 
I did find the ending a little unusual, it just kind of noodles into a stop, not a complaint just not what I was expecting which is OK by me.
 
really nice job!
 
cheers,

Truly outstanding in all respects. Genius

"HE'S BANGIN ON THE BONGOS LIKE A CHIMPANZEE,
OH, THAT AIN'T WORKIN'
THAT'S THE WAY YOU DO IT"
heheh
Thanks man.

this song, and the other ones from the 'Trouble" album, will be getting a complete makeover, as soon as i finish the album i'm working on now.
i'll redo this and the others, for an album "re-release".
i like the vocal harmonies to be strong in certain spots,
kinda the way the old CSN tunes were mixed.
or fogelberg, eagles, queen, lots of harmony never hurt nobody!
thanks for listening!

thanks for checking it out and commenting, emerald....
the guitars are mostly just improved,
i wanted a real loose and 'off the cuff' feel for this one....
so i went in blind!
LOL
it's a waltz,
so the rhythm kinda stands out because of that fact alone.
