Really like this Freddy - harmonies are great in the Chorus and the harmonica coming in there is a nice touch later on

Thanks Tom.  The Sons used to put out some really great harmonies didn't they?  The drums were put together from Smart Loops WAV loops.  I used them just as they came.  I'll take a look again at the volume levels.  Thanks for listening and for the suggestions.
 
Hi Warren.  I have tried 3-part harmony before the only difference is that this time it got relatively close to working.  Thanks for listening an commenting buddy!
 
Hey David.  The chorus is just me, three times over, trying to hit the notes after reading a piece on singing harmony. It took me a lot of takes to get even close to what it should be.  I appreciate your listening and commenting.  Thanks.
 
Thank you Gus.  Ya, I'll go back and check on the volumes.  I hadn't thought of the counterpoint instrumentation.  I have to look in to that.  Thanks for the suggestions. 
 
Thanks Daryl.  I very much appreciate your kind comments

nice work, Freddy!  man your mixing has improved SO much since you first started posting here!
 
you're pretty heavily compressed/limited on everything, I'd back off on that and let the song breathe a little.
 
other than that, this is really good!

Hi Monty.  I am glad that you liked this number.  Thanks for listening and for the kind comments.
 
Thanks Reece.  I have received quite an education here on the forum and thank everyone for their input and patience.  Thanks for pointing out that my compression/limiting has been increasing.  I went back and checked out some of my older stuff and I was getting fairly high DR readings on those (~12 to 14).  The last few songs that I have done are in the 8 to 9 range.  I'm going to have to work on getting those numbers back up.  Thanks again.
