Default When Your Dreaming by the River

Just popped a new tune "When Your Dreaming by the River" up on Soundcloud.
https://soundcloud.com/steve-maitland-1
I used a Buzz Audio Mastering Compressor over the top of the mix only compressing 2 dB.

I am learning as I go, I do really like the Compressor a Buzz Audio DBC-M I have Tim Farrant's SOC-1.1 that that has a beautiful sound. I am not affiliated in any way
I like you always wish to know what works and what does not!

Anyway hope you like the tune

You are incredibly kind Chas I find it really hard to critique myself....
I must admit I like these lyrics.
That guitar I am using is one I put together using purchased parts....
It is a joyous thing when you get a song written though isn't it...

Thanks
Chas

I like the song. Classic blues. I first of all like the voice, sounds authentic blues to me (white blues, right?).

But there is something very strange with the drums.

The Blues is a shuffle rhythm. The drum-pattern (programmed right?) is very straight (just a little shuffle i guess).

I would really work on the drums again, they spoil the whole feeling.

Sorry, I hope you don´t mind my critisism
