So where is the link to download? Where do we go to purchase a CD? Pretty sure when this project was originally announced I wet myself and made it very clear I wanted it as soon as it was released.

Oh shoot. I pm'ed you a download link because I guess I wasn't paying close attention. If you want a CD, PM me your mailing address.
 
If I'm allowed to put on my nerdy-critic hat - I don't like the electric guitar tone. It works ok for leads but rhythm bits are way too fizzy. I assume that you used some kind of direct box or software amplifier. (On the plus side, I'm impressed with how quickly you figured out how to play leads and how to bend them noodles. Your leads would sound badass through a proper amplifier and just a tiny bit of overdrive.)

Also, the piano was mic'ed wrong, possibly too close. It sounds a bit messy and it's clipping at certain points.

The acoustic guitar, keyboard and harmonica all sound great.

And again, you have an amazingly dead-on singing voice. Very pleasing to the ear. Neil Young would've been much better off with your voice.

Thanks about the positive points at the end there. I could've used the constructive criticism awhile back but the thing is pretty much finalized now. I mean it doesn't have to be - I could keep going back to it and remix and remaster forever - but I think I'm just moving on.

A few points you have brought up were brought up by others. In every single case where someone suggested a change - not just what you have mentioned but quite a few other points - and I asked for a second opinion, the second opinion said no, it's good like it is. I mean, EVERY SINGLE TIME. :laugh:

So it was all kind of confusing for me. So I just made calls based on my limited whatever.

I do appreciate the help that people gave though. And actually I'm lying: there were a few really good points that I acted on.
