Hi and happy blues..!

this is my mix, i hope you enjoy it.. tell me what you think..!

Over all, I would say this is a good start. Space is what this mix really needs. Try to create a room that all of the instruments are in with reverb. For instance, the lead guitar and lead organ sound pushed way back in the mix and the vocals sound like they were in a room separate from the band.

The choice of reverb on the guitar/organ sound cool but not as a whole.

I like that you didn't over do it, however you may have under done it.

Here's a suggestion. Make a main reverb mix bus and insert that on every track and then adjust the sends to taste. this will help glue things together. Compression on a mix buss works too but it can have the tendency of getting away from you and crushing the transients making the mix sound dull and lifeless. Remember if you can hear the effect than it may be too much. I always go until I can hear the effect and then back off. Some songs require over the top processing and some do not, mix to the song.

Keep up the good work, mix often and question everything.

Cheers.
