Here is this week's post: Open Secret. A song I wrote that I envisioned the Everly Brothers could sing, as I wrote it in the style of their hit songs from the late 50s and early 60s.

https://52tracksblog.com/2016/08/25/track-34-open-secret/

This song used one of the new Xtra Styles: Austin Dreamy. A very simple arrangement tied together by the Dreamy Fills Electric Guitar.

Thanks for listening.

Fred

That was a fine performance with very nice voicing and a pleasant listen really enjoyed it . Nice guitar tracks and vocal duet with just the right reverb.

You captured the Bryant/Everly style/sound well, Fred. Could definitely here them doing this...

The Dreamy guitar is perfect for it. Everything works. Nice harmonies.

Nice tune Fred!! I can hear the Everly influence. Just the right vibe for this one with your arrangement. Hard to believe that concept was difficult for that publisher-seems pretty clear to me. Nice job!! Take care. Greg

The song works well on all levels ( unless, of course you`re a little challenged like your industry rep!).
I liked your harmonies and can hear how they`d really soar with a full on Everly Brothers treatment.

Simply beautiful, Fred! The Bryants would love it.

I'm getting airplay in Scotland and the DJs are seeking new Country/Folk talent.

I'll refrain from posting contact information here, but, if interested, PM me. They don't pay but the exposure is worth something to us fledglings.
