This is some nice work by both of you. The vocal and guitar performances are excellent. The production on this is dead on! Very good job Mark and Robbie!

theguitarplayer (John) - Thanks for the comments and listen.   Appreciate the comment.
 
Janet - Thanks, it definitely was a ton of work, seems like it took forever but glad to have spent the time on it.  Learned a lot of new mixing techniques on this one so well worth it.
 
Rimshot - That is too cool, playing on Messina's album.   Must have been a really awesome experience.   He seems like a nice guy from the interviews I have seen him in, super humble.   Very rare in the music biz;)
 
Leadfoot - appreciate the listen and comment.   Means a lot, the production quality is why I'm here, to learn and grow as a mixer and producer.   I have learned so much on this forum and appreciate it very much.
 
I am heading out on a business trip today so will have to leave comments in the capable hands of Robby.  Thanks everyone for the comments thus far.  
 
Regards

Great job Mark. I know how much time you put into this one. I like yours better than the original sonically. It's also really scary how you did all the orchestration and instrumentation on this. I remember listening to this when we first started discussing it and shook my head when I listened to the detail. You really put in the work brother, I just barely coached you and showed you what I might do differently. But out of the box this mix was quite good as far as I was concerned. Great job Mark....you get better with every mix man. Be safe on your business trip. :)

Wow! Long-time favorite of mine. I must say, this really is very well done! A lot of work, to be sure, but I'll bet it was a ton of fun to do. Regards,Dan

I'm not a Loggins and Messina fan but I am a fan of your cover of this number.  Really great work guys.  I love the lead instrumentation breaks, great vocals, and mix.  This is just plain doggone good.

I've been away for awhile and...Jeesh! The talent in this forum just keeps getting better and better!
 
Does not sound like a home studio recording at all. Sounds like a professional multi million dollar studio recording.
 
Brought me back to memories of L&M, Poco, Pure Prairie Leaque...
 
Awesome job! That took a lot of work.

An ambitious undertaking for sure. I do remember hearing the original “back then” but I haven’t heard it since. Cool tune - sounds more like “Stills and Mark” to me. I think Robbie’s voice has an edge that works better than the L&M version (their vocals always seemed a bit sugary to me). There’s so much going on throughout this that it kind of overwhelms me as “rock tune” (I know, there’s that jazz/jam thing going on as well). The guitar playing is killer - well, actually, all the playing is at a pro level as far as I can tell - that’s  to say “great job” to the both of you.  If you’re taking requests, how about Dirty Work by Steely Dan?  Oh, you’re not taking requests. OK, never mind. Again, very impressive track.
