Hello Elliott,

It's a very nice country rock song.
The electric guitar riff is great.
The whole song is better because of this riff.
I didn't know there was a vocal service called Fiverr.com.
I think the vocals are perfect for this song.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Elliott, toe tapper of a country rocker. Super arrangement (as always) and hooky lead guitar work. Nicely mixed/mastered, too. Always a pro sound...

Elliott this is a fantastic toe tapping song.
I was very impressed with your guitar licks and leads.
Super vocal and lyrics.
A dynamite song.

Well, if she got the better of you, Elliott, she must be a terrific tunesmith. Glad she left this one for us to enjoy. Great job with that singer, and I like the drive of the song. Good arrangement and the perfect backing group. The singer definitely sounds like he's glad she got the better of him --'cause she helped make him what heis.


Enjoy whatever happens!

That Fiverr dude did your tune justice for sure.

We like it all … your guitar (chops and tone) and the BiaB session guys are excellent.
Nice snare pop on the drums. Cool to hear drums that are up in the mix.
Lotta folks seem to be shy about that. smile

Great rocker that set up a nice soundstage on the monitors.

Enjoyed it!

Elliott,

Your singer did justice to this one. It's a great country rocker. I like the simplicity of the arrangement - nothing gets in the way of a truly great song. Guitar work is spot on.

Excellent across the board. Nicely done.

Hi, Elliott.

What they said - strong rocker, and catchy! smile

The start of the chorus has a strong "I Won't Back Down" vibe.

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