great discussion zone! Looking forward to contribute more here in the near future...
Lots of interesting mixing ideas here, for me the main thing upfront was to decide where to go with this song. Some went for a more acoustic style, which i personally would love to as well, but something in Diesel´s four or five "HUUUAAAARRRGHHH!´s :-) told me this should be more of an ass kickin rock n roll track, so i went and tried my best...
Thanks to Diesel13 and Joe Lonsdale for providing this great production and of course to Mike for this great site and the hard work critiquing all these mixes!
Cheers, Herb

Updated Version 2: Cleaned up the chorus section a bit (hopefully), also the banjo is featured throughout the song in the instrumental parts. Not sure if this is everybody´s cup of tea but i love banjos :-) and wanted to hear it more often, so i stick with it...
So for critique please use V2.
Hi Herb,
I agree, this is definitely a kick ass rock tune and I think your mix captures that. The mix is aggressive and upfront. Sounds solid. This might have to do with my particular monitors but I hear a couple harsh resonances on a couple words in the vocals. Particularly the first time he says "Red" and stretches the word out. I had to automate an EQ cut on my mix around 3500hz on a couple parts, but like I said, might be my setup. Nice mix!
