Very nice - I hear some Mickey Gilley sprinkled throughout this one...

floyd,
I like country, I like country waltz's.
Hence you've got a real winner here.
Your vocals are powerful, and the harmony adds nice touch.
Your lyrics tell an awfully sad heartbreaking story.
The tinkelies sound good me.
I could not listen to this too many times, you are very convincing
with your vocals. I'd have tear in my beer.
Thanks for your hard work, and sharing with us!

Very nicely done,

Guys - thanks for listening and for the comments. Obviously, no one does this type of song these days - the comparisons all being 30 (?) years back - Gilley, Kenny, Willie - and I had forgotten about Charlie Rich. The piano does sound a lot like his playing. It's nice to be able to "call on" John Jarvis when you need him....

Wow - you really captured what "real country music" should sound like. You hit all the marks - sad, booze, broken heart... - it's a 70s hit! What a fantastic hook line. I think this is great. And I too cheer BIAB. I gave my band off for a few weeks but I will be calling them back any day now.
Great work!

jpt3 - appreciate the comments. Guess you might say I'm "a few decades late and a dollar short"

Floyd,
I just took your style information and created _WALTZIN RT's with it.
Listened to that song so many times.
Am going to create a melodist with it and then try it on a song.
Appreciate your sharing and just love the song...Again.....

Nice slow country groove. I find it harder to mix songs of that tempo than any other. Good tears in the beer and saw dust on the floor lyrics also.
Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more. If interested search on Janice Merritt. Thanks! Our Videos

Mootsman - thanks for the listen. The only hard thing about ths one was getting the piano to "fit". The rest just fell into place.
seeker - glad that you could get something out of this. Keep in mind - the piano track is not necessarily meant for this style or tempo. I generated about 25 different version - the variety was amazing. Of those, I heard about 5 that had licks that I liked (thought were right for what I was after). From those 5, I picked pieces to come up with the final track....

I dont generally like country music. but this is the best thing I've heard here in a while! Your voice certainly suits the genre. Love the country break in the voice. Two woots!

Hi Floyd,
You sure know how to maintain "consistently excellent". I sat back, closed my eyes and just listened. It was great.
All the best,
Noel
