I wrote this awhile back, but it has since been redone. Started out with a midi style, but it was updated to;

_ACCNTRY.STY. AcCountry wPedalSteel Ev(60-190)
All RealTracks. Quintet. Tempo=85 (60-190)
RD: NashvilleEven8^6-a:Snare, HiHat , b:Snare, HiHat Open :Brian Fullen
RT518: Bass, Electric, Pop HalfNotes Ev 085 , Dow Tomlin
RT365: Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Ev 085 , Jason Roller
RT362: Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Ev 085 , Tony King
RT363: Pedal Steel, Background Ev 085 , Steve Hinson
Memo: Even 8ths Country with el.bass, 2 ac.guitars, pedal steel & drums. Works over a wide tempo range, from slow ballads to uptempo even country.

Some tracks were edited out or changed from the original style set to come up with this version. Any feedback is welcome.

Hi Rob.

An absolutely beautiful country ballad.

A gorgeous lilting guitar backing supporting a heartfelt vocal delivery.

Quite a minimalist backing track, but one which works so well with the style of the song and the excellent lyrics.

Loved it all.

Rob,

It's gorgeous throughout!

"Lilting" is the perfect description of the guitar. Makes me want to "lean in".

Great mix and production.

Yes, your absence was noticed. Welcome back!

Thanks for the feedback, sounded like it worked to me, but there is a wealth of knowledge and experience on this forum, so I like to use other ears whenever possible.

To all who took the time to listen thanks very much

Rob,

That was an excellent vocal delivery, sung with great feeling.

Anybody here want a love that's slightly used......I like that line a lot

A wonderfully emotive song
Perfect use of the RTs

Really nicely done Rob!! There is a great natural and authentic feeling in this. With respect to the mix, I think a little verb on the voice would sweeten it up a little. Great stuff!! Take care. Greg
