Brett Axelson - Cinnamon and Fire

Cinnamon and Fire - Nice intro, vocalized steady throughout, needs dynamics on the bass drum beat, guitar solo was a bit buried.

Dance Between the Raindrops - Experiments with vocal placement, I’d be interested in hearing a version w/o the vocalizer and only delay/verb.   Again, guitar solo is a bit buried. Nice fade out

Driving Cold - Interesting vocal treatment exploration, steady beat throughout (needs dynamics?)   narrow stereo field

Enjoy Your Stay - bluesy beat

Grind You Groove - Lots of room, same solo issue

It’s Love - Vocals need smoothing (too much vocalizer sauce).   He opens up the horizontal space giving the song more room but still pretty squeezed vertically.

Lament - Finally, a relaxed song, still squeezed vertically, achieved with using fewer instruments

Long Neck Nights - Honky tonk, texas rock.   Perhaps a bit repetitive with punch line

Notebook - Catchy lyrics, nice arrangements of instruments

Red Flag - Totally different groove.   Intro voice needs a different ambience ( buried vocal).   Because this song is so different, it stands apart better.

What I See In You - Tom Petty groove.  Vocalizer backed off, still too much going on at times.  Nicer guitar lick. A bit more open in the horizontal

Whisky Dents - Another Texas drinking song.    Apart from the earlier songs. Drum beat much better flow.   Perhaps the best mix.
