Steve Miller :-) Good job on this one Lynn, it's right in your wheelhouse. 

Thank you, that's a high compliment!

Lynn
I've been out all day, and I just got back to this.  I really appreciate your comments and have already incorporated many of your suggestions just moments ago.  I raised the vocals and the guitar solo, boosted the lows a tad, and scooped the mids slightly.  I realize that the 5/4 time signature is not the norm for this genre, but I hope that it swings regardless.  The link is here: http://www.soundclick.com/player/single_player.cfm?q=hi&songID=12968378
 
Thanks, personally, to Tim, Warren, Herb, Robert, Reece, Chris, Daryl, Antti, Wayne, John, Freddy, and Tom.  I'm able to make changes to this mix so quickly that it's almost like interactive mixing with all of you.  If there's anything else I can do, I ready to try.
 
 

Yeah this mix is much better. Although I'm not that keen on the overly wet flange type backing vocals.
Enjoyed the lead guitar parts and the trills on the chord changes are a great idea. :)

Gus, thanks for taking the time to listen and comment.  I appreciate the comments on the guitar and piano parts.  As for the bg vox, I was looking for something texturally different from the usual reverb or delay that I normally use.  Kinda like-do I use cumin or chili powder?  Sugar or salt?  But, now I must try something different!  Herbs, more herbs.

Even better!
 
I saw the Steve Miller comment and have to agree though mixed with the Animals.
 
Nice!

Putting those tracks together had to be fun, everything fit good and vol mix was spot on. I can't critique as well as those above because of my slow hearing ( I just made that up) and my lack of expertise. But since I can't sing period, just play the guitar, I'll say I would have liked the guitar lead in there to be a little longer (and maybe more cowbell? kidding) , it was gruffy as was the mood of the song. Very nice capg

Robert, thanks a million for your comment about the Animals.  I was/am a big fan!  If this song is any better, it's because of your and everyone's ears.
 
CaptG, it's always nicer to hear "more" lead gtr than less.  I did, in fact, have a lot of fun doing this song, and it's hard to believe that it's only two weeks and a day old.

Last mix from post #19

Thanks, Wookie.  BTW, the link is the same as in post #1.  I love your furry ears.

Hi Lynn, sorry have been very lazy, I liked the this from the very opening refrain.  The way you are able to create these fantastic sounding seventies tracks just with Sonar is amazing.  The bottom end is gorgeous. I think it's a pentatonic blues riff if I am not mistaken...I love the riff no matter what.
 
Great, Ben

Thank you very much, Ben.  It's always good to hear good things from you because you have discriminating taste.  The ProChannel of the X series is seriously vintage.  I never had stuff this good even in the 70's.  As for the bottom end, I can only thank all of the people who have helped with this for guiding me in the right direction.  It is a pentatonic blues riff, I believe, with the occasional ninth.
