Would appreciate fresh ears for feedback on the mix. Also, what genre would you say this is. Thanks!

Hi Tomyco,

First off...this is a very good track!
I am not going to comment about the mix.....it may be good also..... but my critical ears are shot today from mixing stuff.
As for genre...some kind of country, folk????

A few things that bother me:
The intro seems a bit long.
Also
What if you ended it at 3:42 without the outro part? The ending gets a little repetitious.
Same for the verse after the solo...that same part as the intro and outro plays a bit too much.
It felt to me like it should go right back into a chorus after the solo....it was a bit of a letdown to go back into a verse.(I know the last verse is part of the story).
Maybe go right into the last verse after the solo, or at least shorten the wait for the verse to come in.....(but I would much rather hear a chorus after the solo in this piece).

Call me crazy ..... I just listened a bunch more and cut it up and pasted parts....maybe go from the solo, chorus, last verse, chorus, end.

All my opinion,

Tim

As far as the mix goes, I really like it, EXCEPT for the fake hat. It's phasy and too loud. I would replace it or remove it. But I really like the song. I think Tim's points are really on point.

I'd offer genre but I'd be wrong for sure. LOL.

Nice song.

I'll send it to you when it's done.

Thanks,

Hi Tom,

Well...I finally got your song out of my head after chopping it up last week.......and there you go putting it right back.

Very nice!
I see you filled it out a bit during the verses...nice....and the drums and bass are a bit more powerful....again nice.
And I like the intro...perfect!
Good job on the ending also!


NOW YOU KNOW...I'll never be happy til the part from 2:13 - 2:25 is cut, and it goes right into 'a final ride deep into the canyon' !!!

But besides that...... excellent!


Tim
