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
..................................................................

Bidge

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
..................................................................
Bridge

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

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.

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! smile
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 smile
Rob,

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

Robert

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.
Rob, you excel in multiple genres. Whatever you take on always sounds convincing and this is no exception as you nailed the period feel. And we’ve listened to a lot of this style.

Kudos!

Thank you for your comments BigLad. Rob
Nice song Rob. Took me awhile to find it. Has a touch Marty Robbins flavor to it. I have been wanting to hear some of the oohs and aahs and you worked them in well on this tune.
