I like both songs! I especially like the interwoven guitar parts in Mother's Down. Congrats on well written songs!

Always like your acoustic tunes, Be My Side is very good - I'd like to mess with the mix a little, bring out the lead guitar parts at the end of each chorus a little more, as they kind of get buried in the multiple guitar parts. I think some harmony vocals on the choruses would be good too.
Good guitar work on Mothers Down, the drums are a little too up-front - I see from reading on in the thread that your son is doing the drums. I seem to remember (or mis-remember?) you used to do your drums on the keyboard?
On the latest one (Falling In Love?) I noticed there's kid of a lack of low end - I can hear the kick and the bass but no real low component to them, instead everything is very much in the midrange, including guitars and vocals, and because of that the vocal gets buried in the ix a little at times. I think a little 'EQ carving' would help - also look at boosting the low end up to balance everything, too. Is it possible you turned down the bass stuff due to your mixing room enhancing them too much?

Your son knows how to kick out the jams.
Only wish the guitars were a few dbs higher in the mix or the drums a few lower.
I just uploaded an old/new tune to Soundcloud - https://soundcloud.com/jookeyman/lost-desert-ride It's definitely not rock. In fact I don't know what it is! You tell me.
I took an old song I have published, changed the time signature from 6/8 to 4/4, dropped the 2nd guitar and bass, changed the B section a little and added bongos.
