A little light on the bottom can be something one dreams of after years of marriage... (they typically don't get smaller...)

Speaking of songwriting....  Robbie, you need to write more lyrics.

Enough folks are complaining about the low end being light so..... I reckon, it's time to have a look at that issue and see what I can do to remedy it.

I'm never changing who I am. 
 
People have grown to expect a certain mindset? And who am I to disappoint my fans? I personally enjoy a big bottom? So "Bottoms up Herb!" Bottoms up... I for one would like to put all of this bottom talk "behind us?"  We need to spank this bottom talk in to submission? No more butt cracks? Let's put it in the rear view mirror... I was questioning a young lady just this past weekend about her lineage? "Who's your daddy? Who's your daddy?" I asked over and over again (we were on ancestry.com and I was trying to trace it back)
 
(I'm sorry for that right there Lord... And please be with the Pygmies in New Guinea.)

I just thought the kick was a bit dull and need more cut through the mix (more high end). I am listening on cheap phones, so there may be some very low end that Im not hearing.
 
Overall this is damn well executed country, love listening to tracks that are radio ready pro quality on these forums, this is one.
 
Keys are awesome in the pan field and I love the lead and bg vox when they break free now and again.

I didn't think the bottom was too light. It was lighter than some, but the song still sounded really good to me.

I think the song is great. I thought the mix worked well but that may just be because the playing, recording and production were so excellent that it would have worked a number of ways. It can be a personal thing (a mix), but if 3 or 4 post replies are suggesting the low end needs to poke out a little more then.....who knows. You didn't ask for any critique, just put it up for us to listen to, so I'll just say "well done".

Dan & Rebel:  Yeah, I thought the mix on the bottom was fairly balanced for the music. The bass lines are fairly busy and they sounded decent (level wise) here and for the genre and style of the song. I'm a sucker for big fat bottom ends (musically speaking) with lots of punch, but there's also a time to pull back a bit and that was the call I made on this one in the mix stages..... for a variety of reasons.
 
We'll see.... this is a pitch to publisher and the pub has this version in his hands and on his desk so...... it's wait and see.  Since there is a deadline, I should hear something rather soon.  I have a few more to get to him before the deadline.... but I'm not posting those here at this time.... perhaps later.

Herb, this is right up your wheelhouse.  The mix I heard sounded well balanced and had plenty of sparkle and warmth.  I've enjoyed all your productions, and this is one of the best.
