This song was recorded and edited in Sonar X3 producer and mixed with Harrison Mixbus. This is the first mix I've done with Mixbus and the new TDR Kotelnikov mastering comp. Opinions are very welcome...be brutal! Thanks.

Hints of Steely Dan in the vibe and the vocal mix works well here.

Really nice production. Love the simple instrumentation but full sound.  Lead voc is maybe a tad soft and maybe the solo as well. Love the bass.

Nice track! Nice bass line! Maybe 1db to loud? (getting used to new monitors)
The Eagles with a Steely Dan funk. Great ride!

Thanks for giving your opinion of the levels...these are the little things that take me forever to decide on. Thanks a freaking ton for the Steely Dan comments. Walter Becker is one of my favorite bass players of all time and the opening lick is pretty much his. As a guitar player, I try not to sound like a guitar player when playing bass, but I don't always succeed at that. Hahaha! Thanks for taking the time to listen...Your opinions are the ones I value the most. I've thought about adding a few more guitar licks or a little bit of keyboard fills, but I kind of like it simple too.

What a lovely crystal clear sound you have here Clint. Yes, Steely Dan, also Robben Ford comes to mind. It's a testament to the playing, arrangement and mix that such a sparse instrumentation sounds so full. Top marks sir.

What they said.  Another terrific song from you.  I could easily hear Clapton doing this.  Keep em coming, Clint!

Yep, top marks. Excellent song Clint, very well done. Are you singing this? I think all of the stuff of yours that I have listened to in the past were instrumentals. Great job with the vocals. I ditto the Steely Dan vibe. Like Lynn, I could easily hear Clapton singing and playing this song. Both two of my favorite artists, so that's telling you what I think of this song.

Lastly, I like the lead playing that you have done on this song very much, very tasteful and excellent tone. What are you playing through on this one, the Strat and Fender Mustang....amp sim?
