haha.. yes, I agree
The Glyn Johns drum mic'ing technique is very tricky.. it's very dependent on how the drummer plays the kit, and your mic placement and mic choices are so much more critical than close mic'ing everything on a kit.

If the drummer can control his enthusiasm on hitting the cymbals too hard.. A nice pair of KM184 as overhead mics can work well.

If the drummer is a cymbal basher.. a pair of ribbon mics is the ticket.


Have a listen to Glyn Johns' production on Ryan Adams 'dirty rain'

or.. Ethan Johns for that matter 

Interesting song..
I'm Canadian and I live in a city not too far away from the US border

Though I suspect that this song was about the Detroit area, perhaps ??

anyways,

enjoy
Hello, Marc! 
Love your mix! Good vibes 
Hope you like mine Smile

Really good take on a classic mixing approach! Who doesn't love Glynn Johns? Maybe you should have used more pre delayed (plate)reverb on vocals to nail his style.
Great mix! My preference would be to lower vocals a notch.
Feel free to listen and comment on my version. I tried a more aggressive drum sound and a little more modern style.

Love this. Great to hear such present drums. I do wonder if the snare (and vocals) feels a little disassociated from the song from time to time.
