Here is my week 29 track: Sometimes Love

https://52tracksblog.com/2016/07/21/29-sometimes-love/

All RTs on this song, including electric baritone guitar and the electric guitar dreamy fills. The bass, drums, piano, pedal steel verse parts, and acoustic guitar were done back in 2010. I added the two electric guitars and the Paul Franklin pedal steel 85 solo RT for the solo and outro this past week.

I tried to keep the vocal balanced wth the backing tracks but as usual I rely on your ears to clue me in.

It doesn't get much better than that, Fred.

"Sometimes Love’s
A true romance
Sometimes Love’s
A song and dance
Sometimes Love
Don’t stand a chance with me"

...also nice!

Good mix. The added RT guitars sound great.
