Well, I've been out of pocket for the past couple months. Working too many hours!

This one is a praise song I wrote last week, called You Are. Introduced it to our church Sunday, and it went over pretty well (but then we are a pretty rocking church). This is a Texas-style blues-rock praise song. Mostly RealTracks/Drums, with some organ, synth, and percussion from me. I hope you enjoy it...

You Are

Here are the RealTracks/Drums...

This is a good write and a great message for the times. Your productions are always top notch and the same for your vocals. Enjoyed my listen.

First song I've heard from you, I cant imagine how the production values could get any better. I enjoyed the song a lot but the mix was the real star here. Take your place among the top 10 artists I have heard on this site. Maybe top 5. Thanks for posting this one.

Outstanding!

Top of the bar vocals and production. A very effective
selection of RT's with a shining mix. Everything
is where it oughta be. We've missed songs from
you and are happy to see you back.

Glad you have a rockin' church that can enjoy
the message!

Nice!!

Fantastic production. No way I would peg those guitars as anything other than studio musicians recording 'this' song. Your edits, your phrasing, two thumbs up!

Sweet vocals too:)

Hi Steve,

Very, VERY, tight and solid track.

Great choice of RTs and super vocals.

A very sophisticated arrangement, coupled with a professional recording and mix.

Loved it.

ROG.

Nice work.

Just wondering if you tried any of the P&W grooves on this before rocking it.
