Wow.... very nicely done.

I like this a lot.

Your voice is really nice. Smooth and fits well in this genre and style.

So here's my comments.

There's a roar that comes in when you start singing and remains there throughout. It goes away after the singing so I'm guessing it's in the background on the vocal track.

I agree with (I think it was) Pat on the production decisions.... when to bring in the snare and the sax. I would probably not have chosen the sax since it seems out place in this gentle acoustic based tune..... maybe a nice acoustic guitar solo, or even a piano would fit nicely. Perhaps hammered dulcimer or mandolin would be really nice in there for the solo. And yeah.... Real Tracks have some nice mando tracks.... I'd swap the sax out and put the mando in it's place.

Always look for places in the song where you can ramp up or down as the need calls for when you bring in something like the snare from the side stick. It sounds more natural to the listener that way.

I really like that twist on the chords in there as well.

All in all very nicely done and just some minor production issues to deal with.

Iron out the production and other issues and this song could possibly have some nice commercial value in films and TV.... just saying....

Tom - Thanks for the input. It seems you are not alone on the drums being a little outside the style on this one. I will do a little searching to see if I can improve on that aspect.

Charlie - Thanks for the second listen and suggestions. I thought this one might have room for some more background voice stuff. I'll revisit this idea for sure.

Herb - Thanks for the production tips. I'm still struggling to get the best sound with recording myself (voice and sax). Might be my USB microphone, but I'll see if I can make an improvement.

Dani - It's good the hear from you. Thanks for the kind words.

As always, much appreciated on the feedback from everyone.
