Peter and Leon, I just caused a laugh in my morning cafe as I was 1st in and listening on earphones to this and singing along!!! Great song, excellent mix. A superb generic country song! The cafe stopped working to listen and you two are stars in Wales now  We all enjoyed it a lot!! Brilliant Alyn

Hi Peter and Leon,
Great piece of country rock.
Super lyrics and everything in the mix working well together.
Going back for a second listen.

Very good write and delivery!! Great job of hitting the cliches in a fun and clever way. And the "I'm the one with the broken heart" is kind of poignant-every song is just a song until it relates to you, the listener. Great job on this-arrangement, mix, and heartfelt vocals!! Take care. Greg

Greg Everything he said and like floyd said, "a clever write." The vocal is spot on, the lyric is cool, and the playing and choice of RT's work excellently together. And then the mix. It sounds really good. I listened the other day on our "big" system and again today on the monitors. Everything is in the pocket. Nice and a nice addition to our SC playlist. J&B

I enjoyed listening to this the first time through, which I usually don't do. It's catchy, the lyrics are a cut above, it's damned honest, the vocals are well done / mixed, and it sounds like you really went for it, which drives the whole thing along really well. Give an inspired performance, no one will really care which Waves plugins you used!
More critically, I find that the backing instrumental is sometimes a bit of a soup of competing instruments -- I think we all know what BIAB can sound like when you first audition a new RealStyle, for example, with all the faders set the same -- in which nice individual instruments sort of drown.
For example, I could hear the electric guitar arrive, but couldn't really make out what it was trying to say until the very end.
I would suggest having some dynamic changes, not only by playing with the volume faders, but through the variety in the arrangement; let it on occasion, at least once, quiet down / thin out, so then when it returns later with the whole band going, it's a welcome reprise. Otherwise, even the best backing, if it is constantly "loud and proud," can be too much of a good thing.
I think the strummed RT which opens the track (one of my staple RTs, by the way) is often too loud, and sounds too bright on my pretty neutral mixing headphones. I would guess it might benefit by an EQ cut around 2.2 khz and / or maybe a reducing high shelf from around 10K?
The whole track also sounds a little bit too compressed to me, although that could be an artifact of the Soundcloud conversion.
Anyway, my 2 cents. I do fundamentally like the song.
