Definitely a valid point, Kevin. I go back and forth on feeling like it fits or not, and whether it's just a matter of doing a better job with EQ, reverb, etc. to make it sit better in the mix. The sax is not from the style I used, and in fact I was worried that this swing-feel sax part would not work at all with the even-feel _SOUL60S style that I based the track on (though Roger has since replaced the drums, bass, and rhythm guitar with live parts and custom-programmed drums, so the feel of the original style isn't as apparent). But rhythmically, it seems to work OK.

I like it on the intro - it's a really blazing start to the song. I'm less sure of the riffs inserted between lyric phrases in the verses. They do sort of sound "pasted on." I need some help from my producer to sort this out. I will also shortly have ALL the available sax parts from the various RT sets, so maybe I can find one that works better in the song if Roger and I can't "fix it in the mix."

Thanks,
Bruce
