I just wrote a new song. I can't remember the style and etc. I;m getting old and my voice isn't what it used to be. I did this with BIAB and Real Band. I'm doing the lead vocal and all the harmonies. Take a listen and see what you think. It is the first song on the list of songs. Thanks occ

Everything here fits together perfectly. Short intro, and right into the hook - no wasting time here!

It sounds like a pitch-perfect gospel classic from beginning to end.

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

Hi occ.

Very professional production.

You say that your voice isn't what it used to be, but it sounds great to me. It must have been really something before. The melody works well with the harmonies and all the voices sit nicely in the mix.

Cool country gospel track.

ROG.

occ, This is surely that good old Country gospel sound. It shows that you are very familiar with this kind of music. Nicely written and arranged. I enjoyed it. Tom

That is right in our wheelhouse. We did a LOT of gospel
back in the bluegrass years.

Everything here is right in the pocket and smoothly and
effectively delivered. I can hear this wafting across the
fields at a bluegrass festival on Sunday morning.

Enjoyed it.

Hey Pete! I can tell that my voice isn't what it used to be. I can't reach high notes like I used to do. Thanks for the comment. occ

Very cool song!! I don't think I could separate this from a group of standards of this style (would just assume it was one I hadn't heard before). It holds up as a classic in every way- natural, catchy, singable!! Great work! Take care. Greg

Well, this sounds okay to us.
Which real tracks did you use? It's kind of customary to specify them here.

I said when I started this post that I couldn't remember the tracks. When I wrote and recorded this song, I wasn't planning to post it so I didn't keep up with all that I used. 0cc
