Hi All. Here's the second song from the "Got Me" CD. It's called "If I Wanted To" and was written back in '15. This is one of the first songs I used Real Tracks on. Warning: This is pretty hard-core Country. LOL Any and all comments are welcome. Thanks for listening. https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=14174583Here's the players: Bass - #518 Dow Tomlin Piano - #2024 John Jarvis Acoustic 6-String - #362 Tony King Acoustic 12-String - #1118 Pay McGrath Steel - #2001 Paul Franklin Electric Guitar - #1705 Brent Mason Drums - Superior 2 IF I WANTED TO Verse: I hear your knock, I see you standing there With hat and heart in your hand But I don't have the see the questionnaire To know just what you have planned Girl you've hurt me ten times out of ten So give my heartache it's due I swear I can’t go through you again Even if I wanted to. Chorus 1: If I wanted to I'd just close my eyes And I'd open up my heart If I wanted to I'd believe your lies And then serve them ”A La Carte” Girl you're wanting me to convince myself That my heart's not black-and-blue I won't do it, I couldn't take you back Even if I wanted to Instrumental Chorus 2: Oh if I wanted to I could make believe You didn't cut me to the bone If I wanted to I'd roll up my sleeves And step into your hurting zone Girl you're hoping I'll take a look at us From a whole new point of view I won't do it, I couldn't take you back Even if I wanted to Tag: No I've been through it, I couldn't take you back Even if I wanted to

Paul,
VERY nice.
Really good use of those early RTs. Solid.
You have a terrific "70's/80's style vocal".
A very strong write.
Well done. Pro level all the way.

Echo Floyd on your performance, delivery, etc…professional and polished. Regarding your use of BIAB, it’s always amazing to me how, in the hands of a skillful writer, one can create so realistic a “band” as you did here. I chalk it up to craftsman-like use of the toolkit from PG. excellent creative work and great production.

This is great sounding classic country. The use - mix and arrangement - of all of the tracks is extremely well done. The vocals are excellent and all around it's a professionally production.
Some favourite Waoist Adages:
#1: Play on the Way.
#13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

Paul,
I grew up playing lead guitar to exactly this kind of classic country.
Sounds terrific to me. Sounds as though it's straight from 16th Avenue. So nice to hear such a great recording. You nailed it! Your voice reminds me of Jim Glaser of Tompall and the Glaser Brothers. Related?
That was an amazing listen! Happy New year.
Alan

Paul,
Absolutely nothing wrong with "hard-core" country! Your vocals here are of a superior quality! Background vocals also! You arranged these realtracks in a beautiful way that are perfect for this tune! This is excellent Country music!
Thanks, TB

Alan Thanks very much, Alan! I really do appreciate the comments and I'm glad you like it. It's nice to find so many Country fans on the forums. Yes, the Glaser Brothers were my uncles, (God rest their souls). Jim was easily one of the best voices of that period. Thanks again and Happy New Year to you and yours!

So pro all the way, Paul. Hey, no warning label needed. This one is in the Exceptionally Good Country bin, and it's likely always sold out. Dang, I love those harmonies. Excellent band, and your strong vocal range is perfect for an exceptional delivery.

Paul, super tune! Could be a lost Gram Parsons track. Love those RTs and the mix is sublime. REALLY love your vocals and the arrangement of the 3-part harmonies. Just...did I say sublime? Yep, and...so it is. Nice one!

Paul, you call it hard-core country
I call it damn-good country
Outstanding vocal, lyrics, backing band, and mix
You sound fantastic, great harmonies also
My kind of country
Loved it
