This one is pure classic country, we tried to make this have the early 60's Nashville sound or close enough. I have always enjoyed good classic country music. hope this lives up to that standard. Thanks BIAB for the great accompaniment.

Nice gentle feel-I especially liked the solo interlude. Vocals were relaxed, and harmonies sounded great. I enjoyed this.

Great work on this! You definitely captured the classic country vibe on this one. I like how easy on the ears this is. Nothing too abrasive, and everything just flows so naturally. The arrangements are absolutely spot on. Each instrument on this tune compliments the others. And of course, the vocals are excellent.

Thanks so much for sharing smile

Man do I enjoy the material you present here! As I have noted in previous comments on your tunes I am often reminded of John Fogerty (one of my musical hero's) when listening to your songs. I really like the up front sound on the vocals in your mixes and your songs are always so genuine sounding. While this one was not so much like Fogerty's music, I heard some of his influences in this, primarily Hank Sr. (at least to my ears). Thanks for sharing your work here and please keep them coming! Thanks, Torrey

Hello, cliftond

The vocals and harmonies are excellent.
As Deryk said, you definitely captured the classic country vibe on this one.
I felt that the volume of accompaniment was a little small.
But I enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Very well done- and especially well sung, gentle country song.
You sound comfortable here and steeped in the tradition.
Enjoyed!

This is great y'all. This is the kind of country I like actually.

I am sorry we don't hear more of it.

Keep it coming!

Yep, definitely "close enough." You had me at "...in my little world..." smile

I love that country inflection you put in there, and the chorus was spot-on.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

NAILED!

We had an ole school country listening binge the other day and this would have sat perfectly in the playlist.

Nice!
