One of my favorite folk songs....I remember hearing this on the TV show of the same name...

You need to work on getting the vocals up to the level of the dobro. And more balanced.

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Great work on the Dobro, and the whistle is perfect; vocal sits in mix just right; thanks for sharing!

Bonjour Cavalier Blanc,

I reckon that this is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. The melody and the harmony work together to create a very haunting peice of music that overflows with melancholy and nostalgia. I enjoyed sitting back, closing my eyes and listening to your version of this wonderful American folk song. It was a pleasure.

All the best,
Noel

Hi Jean Pierre,

You did it right, just the way I (AM) advised, hence the positive responses whistle
We think the whistle and dobro are very well played and as you see, the accent is no problem at all.

Keep up¨the good work!

Just a beautiful haunting melody and sounds like you have a lot of passion for the song! Don't shy away from brining the vocal up in your mixes : )

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Really enjoyed the song. The Dobro is a great instrument and worked really well in the arrangement. Thanks for sharing.
