Wow - you did a great job with this. As others mentioned, your vocals are fantastic on this one. The whole thing sounds professionally produced too, and flows really well.

Thanks for sharing!

Rob, you packed a lot of goodness into 2:20.

The mood was set, the story was told and it all worked
including the fine band and vocals.

Excellent!

Everything works from your deep vocal to the rocking waltz band.
Very good!

Wonderful traditional sounding Irish folk song!! Really love the arrangement you put together (including BG vocals)! The drums seem to bite a bit too much at the high end to me. Really, really great work!! Take care. Greg

For a start, this is a terrific song Rob. The tune, the structure, the lyrics - everything is great.
Then add your vocals and that hypnotic backing and you've got a classic.
A few reviewers have said the song left them wanting more, and that's exactly how I felt when it finished.
Cheers,
Mike
