Hi-

 

I've listened to this several times  in the last few days.

Can I say something sacrilegious?

I think there's too much echo and reverb on this. Especially on Muddy's voice. Makes him sound at times like he's singing from that basement, as it were.

 

I think it would sound better if Muddy was a little less echoey, and a bit more unaltered, present and up front. 

 

Not saying it isn't really good sounding overall - great tone, space of instruments, etc. 

Sorry if this offends someone.
