Colour me red

A classic. Overall it has a warm tone but feels pretty compressed. Though one's ear gets used to it. I'd say let it breathe more. The vocal feels a bit separate from the rest of the track. It really could use some (more) reverb or effect to help gel it to the band.
Now that I think about it this might have been the song I used a de-esser on the snare. Some occasional hits had just too much attack.

Thanks for your comment I shall look at the compressors (see if I can do without some of them and see how that goes) and turn up the reverbs which I had turned the reverbs down a a lot (I have them already set on my template) for this track due to mixing it again as an acoustic to begin with so do agree. I think the drums need pulling up a bit - just tweaks
