I was clearing out some files the other day and came across this country rock version of a country song I posted ages ago. I only had a scratch vocal so I thought I would see what Realband could do with it. I cleaned the vocal up a bit and added some guitar and bass. The bass is played on guitar through amplitube with a bass preset. Drums courtesy of Jamstix. The Realtracks are: RT691 Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming AcRockBright Ev 120 RT2151 Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm NewOrleansBoogieKevin Ev 165 RT2152 Piano, Acoustic, Soloist NewOrleansBoogieKevin Ev 165 „Let me know“ country rock versionThe original slow country version for comparison

The new one reminds me of Mickey Gilly to some extent.
80's country style.
The old one is Gene Watson style
I actually like the first version better.
You could do a remake of it in that style with new rendered tracks, envelopes and rocking drums and it would really sound good. let the solo feature the guitar with fills on steel.... that would be a cool version.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

You have a cool sound, Chris. I really like your vocal - it has character!
Both versions work and are actually surprisingly different - like 2 different songs. The new one reminded me of what Ronnie Milsap did... I liked your guitar work...

Chris, two for the price of one! I really liked both versions. Your vocal sounds great in both. Very easy on the ears. Keep them coming. I look forward to what you will come up with next. Tom

I was listening to "Boys of Summer" covers this week and a few people did it as a ballad. Like yours, it made it sound like a completely different song.
I really enjoyed your Country Rock version. The music, parts and lyrics really made it shine.
Thanks for sharing it.

Day and night...amazing where you took that
song. Nice guitar and bass and vocals.
We like them both and feel it would be hard
to pick a fav since they are so radically different.
Enjoyed the listens.

Wow. Both are good versions. It was fun reading the comments and the various artist styles different forum members heard.
As noted, two radically different versions and either one stands up well on its own. I personally preferred the first version.
Add piano to the first version and I think the song would be in the style of Charlie Rich. The second version sounded to me as I picture Tom Jones trying to do country.
Your vocals worked quite well with both versions and the mix, production and performance were spot on.

Chris,
I like the original better but it's because I REALLY like that syle of music. I've got to agree with Guitarhacker, it would be nice to hear you rework the original.
On both versions I like your vocals. You have an easy voice to listen to.

The second version sounded to me as I picture Tom Jones trying to do country. Charlie LOL - Thanks Charlie. The first version is already a remake of the very first version, before I bought BIAB. http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=6359310The song just came to me when I borrowed my neighbour's Telecaster. Inspired by telecaster! @JimFogle Thanks Jim. Maybe the first version does need some more work. I'll have to see which realtracks I cold use without swamping the whole thing.

Chris, At the moment, I'm listening to the updated version. It's terrific!!! I agree with floyd. Your voice has a great deal of character and is a pleasure to listen to. Now I'm listening to the original. Oooooh.... this one suits you too. To my ears, you're more involved with the lyrics in this one. It's got overtones of "He'll have to go". I really like it. Overall... both versions are great. At the end of the day, the choice would depend on what you want to use the song for. All the best, Noel

Noel,
Thank you very much for your kind comments. It's nice to have some feedback as I am never sure of the mixing levels, and if there is too much, or not enough bass etc. Glad you liked them.
Chris
