Kevin,

too bad you didn't release this in 1971... you'd be rich !

Your voice REALLY reminds me of Neil Young, and I see the reference to HEART OF GOLD... not only the vocals but also the choice of instruments.

Regarding the mix, it sounded very clear through my headphones

I liked the banjo as a way to introduce some sonic variation in the second half of the song, but the brief section where you had 3 back to back instruments featured (harmonica then guitar then banjo) didn't work for me. To my ears, if you just skipped that part and went straight to the last verse it would have seemed more natural.

Having said that, its worth noting that in that genre it's pretty common for each of the instruments to come forward before the song ends, so it really is an artistic decision of what to leave in and what to leave out.

All in all I liked it a lot. It sounds like a lot of stuff I've paid money for
