Hey, Pete. This one is really tough for me. I grew up with that song. Must have listened to it a thousand times or more, over the years. Still love it to this day. Hearing this cover/remix made it hard to get into it. That said, I think you’ve done a good job with it. I don’t know if it’s the arrangement or the way the bass was played, but it sitting out there kind of all by itself in the beginning seemed odd, but once the band picked up - and the spoken word - it all made sense. Overall, I’d probably keep the mix on the narrow side, more so than I normally would, to stay true to the original sound of the song, and the era in which it was written, just as you have. Soooooo, good job!
