    This sounds great to me - I prefer less verb on vocals in general, but it works here.

    Ahhh 2005 the year my Toyota Tacoma was born and purchased. It's been a good old girl for all these years. I don't hear anything wrong with the mix, sounds good to me.

    Nice old time rock riff Jack. Brought me back. Steve

    Hauntingly delicious!

    Here's a cover of a Steely Dan song from 1974. Jeff Baxter, who played the lead guitar on the original version is an amazing multifaceted person. https://baselines.com/?p=6470

    Hi! Thanks for listening and leaving some feedback. Yes, I tried having a couple of shots before singing it but all it did was make me tired LOL! Steve

    Usually the copyright claims I have heard about are ridiculous. But in this case, it is really really close. You cannot listen to this without thinking of Mr. Blue Sky for long sections. I like your song, but I agree, it is way too close for comfort. There are some changes you could make that I think would lessen the impact. The rise of a half tone at 27 seconds (Gas) is too much. At that point, even I was thinking that you just decided to use Mr. Blue Sky on purpose.

    Thanks Larry - he sure did some great songs with very interesting melodies and lyrics.

    I like it - great guitar tone, Douglas. I might put a little more low end on the bass, but that is just personal preference, you can hear it fine. Steve

    Love when that slidy reverby guitar comes in - and the bass tone along with it. Good vox too. Steve

    Nice David. Liked those drums.

    Now, where's my light bulb. LOL. I found all of the seasons over on one of the streaming channels - watched the first episode. Old Lurch was playing Polonaise on the harpsichord, one of the only classical songs I learned from sheet music (partially) - I looked him up on wiki and he had an interesting career.

    Cello and bass are ALWAYS difficult to get right together. I try to keep my cello as treble as possible but retain some of the 100-200 range. I use something called Renaissance Bass which adds a tough of very low level distortion. Sometimes that helps fill out the very bottom without interfering with other instruments. It's tough to get right though - I think I always use too much still. This went right into Bridge From Somewhere while I was listening, and the piano is really really good on that. Steve

    Nice work Larry. The first time I heard Obsidian was when I was 11 and my friend from across the street had a dad who polished rocks and showed us his setup one day. It was also the first time I heard the word soused, as he drank beer all weekend and his wife said he was downstairs getting soused. LOL - I don't think she liked that idea very much. The song is nice and tight with the timing and the buildup is good as well.

    Nice crisp sound. Kick and Bass do what they should.

    If I heard this on a lift, I'd have to just press the stop button and stay and listen for a while. Very cool and relaxing sounds. Nice chord changes as well. The kick has a nice thump. It's not always easy to get a good kick sound, but this has all the right frequencies.

    Thanks for commenting Nigel. I was a huge Elvis Costello fan back then, but it's been a while since I pulled out those old albums. I really liked Imperial Bedroom a lot at the time, but I don't know if that one has aged well. I always enjoyed his wordplay. Steve

    Hi Jack - I sang along with Elvis on that one, so I think it is pretty close. Where do you hear things that need to be lined up? - always interested in making things better. Steve

    Thanks for listening Wookiee - I see you are posting some of your gems on Bandlab as well - cool. I started putting up a few again as well. Steve

    A song from 1979. Elvis Costello, from his 3rd album ‘Armed Forces’. Inspired by the rise of the National Front and the Quisling Clinic in Wisconsin. Elvis recorded his vocal after a “night of carousing”. Original Produced by Nick Lowe. This version performed and produced by Steve Keith at Baselines Designs Studio. https://baselines.com/?p=6466

    Yes! All the changes sound great.

    Sounds good Gary - I like it. For my personal preferences I would do this: - Tame the reverb particularly on the vocals. Dryer I think would sound better. - Kick too loud and maybe reduce hi frequency component (paper sound) - Harmonies a little less panning - Tame the ringing toms.

    Hi Nigel! Thanks very much. I love the piano. The old one (15 years at least) was a mess. Steve

    Hey I know what you mean about vocals. I really wish I could sing but it is always a struggle and never sounds good enough to me. But…somebodies got to do it LOL.

    Nice groove Jane. Steve
