Hey Michee, You did a good job putting together the tracks and trying out some new things. Altho, I don't really hear you as a "country" singer - I personally like your voice in more of a pop arrangement - the feeling of your song and celebrating your freedom is from the heart and I can certainly relate to that.

Might I suggest you try remixing it with a little less of the guitar and steel while you're singing, as well as having the guitar and steel trade off for maybe 8 bars each on the solo part?....It sounds a bit too busy IMHO....Good tune though and congrats on your retirement! (I know I'm enjoying mine<G>)

Hi Josie, I listened to a song that had only one verse and the rest was chorus (the song was Storms Never Last by Dr Hook) So I thought, I have never tried that ... so I did Your Quote Quote:
Altho, I don't really hear you as a "country" singer
I don't consider myself a singer of any kind, just someone who is having great fun with Band In a Box  (although I get envious when I hear some people on the forum sing as they have that authentic country voice)
Sometimes when you try something new it can be good , or, a complete disaster, but, I still have fun either way.
Thanks for listening and your nice comments
Best regards
George

Hi limbery,
I have re-mixed the song as your advice.
Let me know if it is any better.
Thanks for listening and your nice comments

Nice one, George. I like the song and sentiment. (I've been 'free' for six months now...) John

Yes, I think it sounds like it's more "produced" now.... but of course....It's what "you" think that's the most important....

Hi John,
Thanks for taking a listen and your nice comments.
I hope that there are not enough hours in the day to let me enjoy the relaxation of retirement.

George- this has something special mixed in there, really. I like the vocal treatment. Kind of anthem-like, it's infectious! This is one you get done listening to and hum that chorus- as I'm doing right now. You know I'm always one to suggest this or that, but I'd say leave it be- it's right on. Like I said, there's a certain blend that's very appealing. Maybe it's hitting my 70's sweet spot, where everything goes [or went] when it came to instrumentation and all. Something good afoot in this one. Let it ride- this is just a cool infectious track! I envy your retirement, btw. Mine will surely be something like this- 'hello, welcome to K-Mart!' as I greet people coming in just to make a buck to survive!
Dan

Hi Dan, Thank you so much for listening and commenting on my song. Glad you liked it. A happy accident for the vocal sound (definitely not planned ) Best regards George
