I like this Gene You've captured a really easy, lay-back 12-bar blues feel. To my ears, the balance is great and the various instruments are well coordinated volume-wise. I really liked when you added the harmonica and the way that you wove your voice around it. Nice.

I found myself wondering if maybe there was a little too much reverb at times. I'm listening to the song a second time now and I'm still wondering that - I haven't reached a conclusion yet. Have you tried experimenting with a little less reverb? Personally, I've found reverb to be a strange devil to work with. The ear gets so used to hearing it that it sounds wrong to hear a song without reverb. Just tonight, I went back to some earlier songs of mine that I thought sounded great when I originally did them. Listening to them after a long break, it really brought it home to me just how cluttered they sounded because of the amount of reverb I used. It was a bit of a learning curve for me

As I said at the start, though, I really like this work.

Keep up the good work,
Noel
