Thanks Lynn..... I try to learn and move forward... it's not always possible but I try... I can't take all the credit because much of what I learned about mixing and recording has come from the many experienced folks here who so willingly  give of their time and share their experience with folks like me......    again... thanks
 

It's not there hand they have in their desks? But more sensitive parts...

Herb when I listen to this on my small speaker in mono at low volume I hear a few things. The snare seems a little loud to me and there is also a lot of ambience or something around the snare. Because of that it seems to be taking up slightly more space than it needs to.
 
The kick is not audible on the small speaker either (because of that it seems out of balance in terms of what is happening on beat 1/3 and 2/4 etc. Not level balance but rhythm balance) and mostly the vocals are a little loud in the small speaker too. Just some thoughts that is all. The small speaker in mono down low is ruthless.
 
Otherwise good party song for sure.

Cool!  nice rocking song for the party time .. me likes

Jeff: Thanks for your detailed analysis of the song...
 
Makke: Thanks.... I like this too
 
I think I figured out why the bottom was a bit weak.  I had the wrong mastering preset selected and hadn't changed it. I have exported it again and a new revision is up now.

Herb,
 
Good luck with the pitch, the song sounds great.   I like the Jerry Lee Lewis piano vibe with the more contemporary country sound of the rest of the band.  Really well executed.

Regards

Mark:  thanks.... yeah there is a JLL vibe on the piano which makes it sound a bit retro..... hopefully in a good way

That stuff helps you crank them out quicker, no doubt? But I can't help but think it's a poison on the creative soul... I know you're a guitar player? And a damn good one? Why not play the guitar? I don't play the pedal steel, ok, I get that. I don't play the fiddle (well...) Ok, I get that. But I can play the damn guitar, and so can you? I can play the bass, and so can you, I can play the mando? And so can you, "etc..." We can all program the drums... I want to hear YOU! Even if you are a neocon right wing wacko? 

Thanks Robby.....I needed that cold hard slap of reality 
 
  
 
...... Yeah, I can play the guitar and do quite often. On this one.... well that's Brent Mason's picking.

"no disrespect" In fact the opposite, I respect you as an artist.
