Voodoo - JohnSmokey

Description : Genre Americana

A note of jazz and blues here. I think its a big one, but I think all my songs are big ones. Lol

You might need to read along with the lyrics, not sure how great this mix is. Maybe its good, I think I'm too close to it.

I turned up the vocals on the chours. So it should sound clearer now.

If you have time take a listen and give JohnSmokey some feedback.

Amazing sax, great song!
Btw what I learned from Manuela: rather than turn up the vocals, it's sometimes better to compress the instruments and sidechain them to the vocals. This creates more space for the vocals.
Merry Christmas my friend!

I always use compression on my vocals. But I do not have much control over the instruments, I get the instrumental in full form I could buy track outs... But I dont have that kind of cash on hand.

This is very classy - classic soulful blues with your own twist- the lyric is great, the vocal performance is spot on and the production sound is excellent.

Thank you, Paul. Really, I treat looperman like an open mic, there's not too many places like it on the internet. Just a common crowd, almost like a small twitter circle. Or a group at a local bar or something, where we've all gotten to know each others work. I always try to bring a surprise.
