What makes a raw song good is when you feel it's raw and your at a Party having a good time...this is that Good Party song ...for a good time...so get ready for that Pray time everyone needs to dance under the Stars and get a beer and a good friend and dance....

I like the start up of this song, I like the vocals, and the lyrics. And the trouble in Mexico is a good hook but everything sounds like it is coming from the front. USE the pan on your mix so that everything is well rounded and not so straight forward. Everything sounding like it's coming from the front and all your instruments are drowning each other out. I would put the vocals only on the front two speakers then pan in 15 degree increments going from treble to bass except drums which can be front also. Hope this help. It's a great song with good fun vibes!

There is much to appreciate with this tune, it has a well executed beat, and an intelligent set of lyrics, but it is its remenicience of the Rolling Stones that first caught this reviewer's ear. Remenicience does not mean copycatting to my sensibility, as it is distinctive and really the artist's own.

IT'S YOUR MOVE PRODUCTIONS SUBMIT'S I NEED SOMEONE TO HELP ME ACHIEVE MY GOAL OF PLAYING ON STAGE SINGING TO THE LARGER AUDIENCES..I JUST WILL NOT HAVE THE FINANCES UNLESS YOU HELP ME OUT...

It's a very good song about Mexico and the the life experiences they had while they were down their.Even if you never been their you want to listen to this song while they take you on a journey. It's like a good book coming to life. Thank you again guys. Yours truly LS Lighter Shade

A heady mix of Californian rock with "mussel shoals" style horns. Hypnotic vocal chorus that drives the song along, but I thought the main vocals were too far down in the mix for my taste which made it difficult to follow the story.

Nice discovery here ! I like the orchestration, the 1st solo part, the verses are ok. Altough, the mixing of the song is a bit muddy, the lead vocalist must improve his singing a bit (he sings well but sometimes in the song he's off chords... I don't know if it's intended) and it's a little bit too long. But it's a nice song, I like it !

All in all I enjoyed the song DOWN IN MEXICO, The song has a Santana feel to it , which is not a bad thing.It could stand to be recorded again under more controlled conditions. Remember a bad recording of good music is far more valuable than a good recording of bad music. I wish you a lot of luck with DOWN IN MEXICO

Mixing and vocals needs some work. I started loosing interest in the song about half way through the song and almost stopped listening to it as the music started sounding repetitive.

John Wessl'sDown in Mexico is an old school guitar and piano driven rocker, the kind of song that emigrated from California back in the seventies. If that is the kind of music that floats your boat you are in for a treat with this track. I enjoyed it very much, it is not overproduced and the vocal is excellent. The rhythm section remains tight throughout the five minutes plus allowing the piano and guitars to play around the basic melody. John hails from Paso Robles California and I dig the fact that the music sounds exactly as it should from that part of the world. I am writing this review from a frigid New York city and this track has helped warm me up. I have reviewed Johns music previously and this is my favourite track of his that I have had the pleasure to listen to. Music to drive to, music to heat up the day. Just good music.

Could not help but notice the elements and memories of Steely Dan when listening to this tune. Yet it was infused with jam band, NoLa and straight up folk... A nice eclectic piece of music. Enjoy!!!! Good Luck!!!

What a breath of fresh air this is, it sounds like a track from Jesus Christ Superstar and really stands out in a good. It's massive, with more layers than a granny at the Arctic. The sing along factor is off the scale and the back beat is a stomper. The guitar covers the track with some precious flair and the whole band have a ripping time on the groove. Great vocals and lyrics and a loose feel give us a an easy ride with beautiful bumps. Great job guys, brilliant !

this song is fine, but lacks recording skills, and mixing techniques. Overall its ok if you are just having fun. If it was properly recorded and engineered it would stand out alot more than it does.

It does have a 60s Garage Band feel to it that really seems to go well with the rhythm of the song. The horns and the tube amp Guitar complete the sound as do the vocalists, particularly the background vocals. I like that it does tell a story in the lyrics which gives it a real classic vibe.

Nice song. Good story. I like the guitars. And the trumpets or saxes or whatever, the horns. Hey John. I didn't catch most of the story, but it's quite clear to me that you've got a lot to say. That, is something a singer songwriter certainly has to have ! I like your song very much but you should try to put a break in it. That way, the song gets stuck more easily into your listeners brains. I've been in Mexico. Tijuana actually. The logistic difference between the USA and Mexico is... apalling... Please.
