I would agree that compared to contemporary mixing my mixes must seem odd, It's not that I'm a contrarian or have any problem with modern music and mixing at all, but for this material I wanted to go with the old classic power-trio stage mix, since as a trio every piece counts I wanted more definition especially for the bass because it really is what fills in the space and Pete is a good enough player to deserve his own channel :). Also the track order was also kind of planned as a live set would go, obviously the first cut is the most directly blues derivative but in a live show such a song would be uptempo and a way to say "hey we're here!" and get the audience involved and let the band warm up a bit before getting to the more demanding stuff.. Now whether any of this 'works' or not is up to the listener and your opinion is valued, I just thought I'd explain that much of what you had commented on was by design. Again thanks very much for your comments!
