Here is the sixth weekly release for my 52 Tracks Project: Coming Out of Memphis in the Spring.

http://52tracksblog.com/2016/02/11/track-6-coming-out-of-memphis-in-the-spring/

I used the CSWNGMP style, from which I selected the 540 Swing Electric Bass (165), Nashville Swing 8 Drums, and the 976 Clean Electric Guitar Rhyhm Swing Guitar. I dug out my Telecaster and played rhythm and took the solo. I raised the tempo from the styles 140 bpm to 170 bpm.

Thanks for listening.

Great guitar sound and vocals. I really like the song a lot, and to me the guitar work and vocals really shine through on this one. Great job.

Another really nice song in this series. The guitar solo on my system was really low in the mix. Everything else sounds good.

Thanks, Peter. I will note the lead guitar level for possible remixing down the line.

Fred,

A solid write. Interesting all the way through.

The production is nice. Simple, but plenty to carry the song. Nice job on the solo - the clean tone works well.

I really wanted there to be some harmonies on the two ending lines every time it came around.

Good mix. Enjoyed it.

Thanks, Floyd. I agree a harmony vocal would add a lot. On my to-do list!
