While searching around for something to fit the lyrics that I wrote I stumbled upon "GUMBO.STY"and a smile crossed my face. I removed the tracks that didn't quite fit but I kept quite a bit in the final mix. It's a Blues/Country/Rock tune I hope someone enjoys. I offered to pay the band but they wouldn't take anything  so here it is..."Down Bound Train". https://youtu.be/O40IS9zP56YRick

Hi Rick ...
I sure do enjoy some Country-Rock Blues. And this one fills the bill just right. And as the lyric says, we oughta listen to our Mamas. They're usually quite a bit smarter than we are, particularly when we're at the stage of life when we think we know it all. Great backing tracks, lyric, and vocal. I do think the vocal could be just a bit louder, though. Other than that, not a thing wrong with this. It was a real nice listen! Good work. Enjoyed it a lot!

I like it! Speed it up a bit and the "Blues Brothers" vibe comes across perfectly. I would make the vocals a bit louder, they are good so there's no reason to hide them

Excellent, Rick. I got my YT notification on this one this morning, and had to jump to it. Love trains and the songs you do so it was a no-brainer. Terrific song. Love the Blues, man, and this is a fun one. Excellent band choices. I'll agree with BD about upping the vocal track a bit, but the speed is perfect for the feel. Downbound trains go slower, right?

Your vocal is perfect for this song.

Howdy Rick.... This is a good blues rocker. I'll gladly echo all other comments Besides....who doesn't like a song about trains. I like it and the vox is fine for my ears. Yeah....I frequently get the same response on my vox db levels. Although I always appreciate the perception of our peers I won't be remixing/re-uploading because of a couple db in vox volume when it sounds fine on Kens' system and mine. That's the final decision criteria IMO. Me too....I'm just a guitar player. (one that attempts to sing. ) Well done!

Pretty good chugg'n bluesy stuff.
There's a fair bit of hiss in the back ground.
At 1st I thought it might be the ride but I don't think it is.
Your sibilance seems to take a leap in the reverb.
You could use a de-esser, an EQ that or deal with it manually.
Cheers

Thanks for the heads up Ray. I'll be the first to admit I played WAY too many shows WAYYYY too loud without ear protection. These days I rely on software to find this stuff. I just incorporated a new plug in called "Vocal Finalizer" and it may be the culprit.It has a few settings I am just learning so I hope to track this stuff down but I love the plugin.
Thanks for taking the time to listen and comment.
Rick

Hi Rick,
Promising blues - as others have mentioned I would love to hear it with your voice a lot, lot louder. Vocals are always upfront in the Blues. No need for a remix just lift the fader on the vocals 2-3Db.
Best Regards
Nigel

Nice work on the blues. I didn't hear the previous draft but this one sounds good

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
