This is really good. Great arrangement and vocal.


Back in my day the only time we started panic buying was when the bartender shouted "last call"!

Hi everybody! The actual style is Dickson pop country
75 bpm
Sorry I didn't write down the nylons solo and I saved it after I exported it under another name. But I just did a search for soloist nylon and pick the first one of two that popped up and edited it. Hope you guys like it.

I love it! Really original sound, a refreshing take on this! Your voice sounds relaxed and you have a calm delivery that soothes the soul. I love the choice of chords/harmony and RealStyle, too. Bravo!!!

An exceptional production.

The music is superb, and the vocal delivery is absolutely first class.

Everything about this spells out a first class production.

Every so often something comes along that is really outstanding. This is one of those events.

Hi Steve ...

I was really looking forward to hearing this. I grew up on the banks of the Missouri River ... literally. I could see it from my bedroom window.

This is really, really nice! You have a strong, pleasant voice and it;s one of the all-time great hits of the American Culture.

Excellent! Thanks for a great listen. Wishing you the very best. Be safe ...

Alan

Hey Mario, musician 17, Greg, Richard, tunemger, JP, Video and Al...
Thank you all for your kind words! I've always loved this song and felt okay putting it up here since it is a traditional piece. It took some editing with the nylon guitar solo but the other instruments just magically fell into place. It was almost like the steel guitar player was in the studio.
Barring any further distractions from this virus the new CD should be out in May.

This is an excellent version of the classic Shenandoah. Great use of BIAB, and very strong and dynamic vocals.
