Do you have the original tracks from the recording? The mix could use some help – the EQing of the vocals pulls the low mids out and makes them sound hollow and the reverb is overbearing (and low quality). This may seem like minutia, but the quality of your father's voice is such that a rawer, more organic sound would, I believe, make it genuinely come across as more authentic. (This is in contrast to his guitar playing which is fairly precise – it actually might work better if it was a little sloppier.) Just for reference, I think a mix like these might get closer to bringing out the subtleties: http://grooveshark.com/s/Company/2h3knu?src=5 http://grooveshark.com/s/Company/2h3knu?src=5 http://grooveshark.com/s/Old+Man/1MhNJ8?src=5 http://grooveshark.com/s/Old+Man/1MhNJ8?src=5 Those are both really dry, imprecise recordings, but that's appropriate for the material. I agree with the others that the fundamental character of this experiment is pretty different from what Louis C.K. did. But your father is a good songwriter, and I think you might get more milage out of releasing the source recordings with Creative Commons licensing and encouraging people to mess with them and report back. It'd at least have the potential for more of a feedback loop than you'd get just posting them as-is.
