Hi all. Wanted to try and write one of those mid to late 1960 classic country tunes.
So this is my effort. All comments welcome Rob.

Dont Bother Me


Ive been living twelve long months with out you.
But then you go and ring me once again.

Ive been rid of all my thoughts about you.
But then you go and bring it back again.

Chorus
..................................................................
Wont you let me be Dont bother me.
Wont you set me free Dont be bothering me
..................................................................

Chorus
..................................................................
Wont you let me be Dont bother me.
Wont you set me free Dont be bothering me

Ive been spending all my nights with out you.
Even through in darkness makes me wail.

I been spending day light hours not think about you.
When evening falls your there with out fail.

Chorus
..................................................................
Wont you let me be Dont bother me.
Wont you set me free Dont be bothering me

great job Rob, it sounds like a song from a juke box playing in the 60's. Love these classic country remakes. Keep it up!!!

Well one, Rob.

Good job of capturing the sound of the era...

Sounds great!

Sounds like classic country to me!

one thing:

around :51 starts some strings and voices I think. They are beautiful, but if you were to pitch this as an era piece you might need to take them out and just it let ride without them.

So maybe you could have two version in case you want to pitch it as a period piece??

I could be wrong.

Super cool. You definitely captured that classic country ballad feel. Nice!

Thank you Cliftond. Rob

Thank you Floyd. Rob

Rob,

This is a great song and vocal. I love the way your voice slides into those notes... Excellent job.

Love the fade-out ending as well.

Bob

Start with the oom-pah bass, bring in the piano... Perfect.

Nice vocal, good to hear the Aaaah sneak in for a visit.

Bob already mentioned the Roy Orbison-ish vocal slides, but it's worth mentioning again. Nice!

This is awesome! You definitely captures that old school country vibe here. It got my toe tapping the whole way through, and I can't help but imagine how amazing this would sound performed live. Your vocal performance is seriously on point here as well.

Great work, and thanks so much for sharing

Rob,

You captured the sound well- and your voice is one of the best around for this genre.
Very good!

Robert

Hi David. Thanks for your comments. I appreciate you suggestion also. Rob

Thank you Kybordr. Appreciate your comments. Rob

Thank you Bob

Thank you David. Love the big "O"

Rob, I think you certainly accomplished what you set out to do! I remember those days of classic country music and you nailed it! Your vocal kind of reminds me of a mix of Jim Reeves and Marty Robbins. Not a bad thing at all! Great work! Thanks, Torrey

Awesome old school country tune. Super vocal.

Now that's how you do Old Country! The steel editing is perfect. Great vocal too. Loved it, Tom

You have great vocals for the era. This is a really good write, arrangement, mix and performance.
