Hi, this is a song I recorded in my home studio. Suggestions on how to improve the mix are appreciated, thanks!

You Can Close Your Eyes

You've got a nice voice.
A cross between John Denver and James Taylor.
The guitar sounds nice.
I'd rather hear it with a full band playing.
You could use a bit of auto-tune in places on your vox.
I don't know if the song has a comfortable enough flow, as it is.
I do believe that you have some talent and good ideas here.
As is, the song could use some minor to major improvements, with far better final results.
You can make it a better song!

Thanks for the listen!

By the way, I really like John Denver and J.T.'s voices.

Not to mislead anyone, but this is a James Taylor song. I appreciate the comments and suggestions.
