Thanks!


Nice toe tapper. Not what I expected at all. Unlike others, I
actually like the lead tone, very old school...I do feel it needs
to be mixed in a little better though (not sure how). I also think
the vocal needs to be brought up just a little. I absolutely love
the way the bass and guitar follow the vocal in the chorus...really
strong song.

Thanks! I don't get the Neil thing either but I'm not familiar with
his more obscure stuff. As far as the lead goes, it's not exactly
what I was shooting for, probably because of mic placement...the
sound coming out of the amp wasn't that buzzy. After I mixed it in,
it sorta reminded me of Z Z Top.

Great song Rich. I think the Neil Young refernce comes from the
overall ambience of the recording and from the sound of the voice on
the backup vocals and are referencing not so much his early stuff as
his 1990's work Good work once again

Jim

Thanks, Jim. Like I said, I haven't kept up with Neil so much.
