I would also use some compression/reverb to sweeten and smooth is a bit. Nice song, cool guitar solo!! Take care. Greg

The voice sounds good to me and I look forward to hearing it and the lyrics clearly in the future. Good work. Cheers. https://soundcloud.com/tuigorge

Greg Yep, nice song and solo and go ahead and pull that vocal up!! Throw in some reverb to help it bleed into the mix and like Greg said you might want to experiment with some light compression.
