It's called "Last To Wince Gets Out Alive." I've tried to take blues tropes and 'make them strange.' I had fun recording it, and I'd really love some constructive feedback on my playing. I found myself looking to Jean Jacques Milteau as a paradigm of sorts for my playing (at least in this context). The link is below:

Thanks!

It's good! The mix feels a little flat to me though... Could you try to expand the stereo a bit? The guitars sound pretty good as is, but the harp and vox come across as a bit one dimensional. Try throwing a bit of stereo chorus (a BIT) on the vox, and then using a stereo expander on the harp parts plus some reverb. I think that would make it sound a bit more full and dynamic... Very good job though!

Thanks to the both of you!

Isaac: I realize now that I didn't pan either of them at all. That might be where the one dimensional sound is coming from. I think I'll take your advice -- with a few tweaks. I'll probably throw a touch of reverb across a doubled up, panned vocal track and do a similar thing with the harmonica. I'll mess around when I have a few spare minutes and post the result.

Cheers, and thanks for the listen
