Floyd, thanks for the detailed etymological journey of "DAD CroW". I could have stared at it forever and not cracked the code. But inspired and appreciated. It's starting to grow on me...

The vocals are strong and consistent and do "sound" the same across your songs. A sonic thumbprint?
There are occasions when the phrasing of the lyric/melody makes me twitch but I think that works with the theme.
Good stuff.

Ray, well, if a "sonic thumbprint" is a good thing, I hope we have one! Dusty's voice has a unique character that I'm quite fond of, and I tend to let his voice come through in my mixing choices. On straight harmonies I'll almost always pan the harmony ~20% right, run a high pass and leave them dry, so that will be a reliable sonic print marker. Another marker is panning BGVs off center using doubled voices split left and right. I also like for the lyrics to be audible, so the vocals are usually at least slightly forward. This song and most others follow this simple scheme. Don't do it to be boring (though it might be), I just think it sounds cool. But I deviate to serve the song, at least to my ears.

I used a different reverb/delay chain on this one, but achieved about the same overall vocal effect...

I'm going to count a twitch or two as a good thing on this song. Win!

Thanks for the listen!!
