Hi Wendy,

This is the kind of novelty song I could hear The Dead South doing, and Blackfoot Daisy is in that territory with this, and I imagine it's a great change of pace for the band and the album.

The band's album sound is gonna generally be dry-ish, reverb wise, I imagine, and so this is mixed just fine. I can hear everything and nothing seems too loud or soft. You seem lined up, in fact, just like The Dead South, from left-to-right, with all practically getting an equal volume in the mix.


There are (to me) a few piercing notes from the flute, which is usually mixed with a little more reverb and could help tame some of the more piercing notes that come right at the beginning of his solo..but that's a tough choice, cuz it's like having him step back from being in front with the rest of the band, so if "added reverb" is not something the band does, I wouldn't do it, but just maybe look at a couple of his piercing notes and notch EQ and/or lower the gain just for the moment when they hit. Otherwise, as a producer, I'd be totally happy with this mix. Not the kind of song to overthink, even at the mixing board.

Mike
