Hi Bob, You have done a great job here, as others have stated, creating a hauntingly beautiful sound. I like the way you had the instrumentation building as the song went along. Take care, Torrey. Hi Torrey, Thanks for your nice comments. Some songs really lend themselves to the gradual "building" process. This one certainly did. I'm pleased you enjoyed the song. Thanks for listening, Bob

Gotta say this is exactly the kind of project BIAB is made for. I wrote this song a little over a week ago on Nov 9 and completed production and posted it to my Facebook page on Nov 16. Had I been using a commercial studio I'd still be trying to book time and line up players.
Man, this was fun.
Thank you for sharing your song here - really enjoyed listening to it! You have a great voice... This is our "Hot Forum Topic" for today. Hi, Callie. Thank you so much. Really pleased that you enjoyed the song. I've owned BIAB for about 20 years now and have used it in our studio in some way on nearly every song and album that I've recorded/produced. I'm a real fan.  Thanks for listening, Bob

Nice build and it's hard to go wrong with that baritone guitar RT. We enjoyed the
write, vocal and the entire production.
Looking forward to more....

Hey Janice and Bud...
Thanks for the nice comments. Glad you enjoyed the song. The baritone guitar was actually my own performance on a Fender Tele Subsonic.
Had a chance to listen to some of your work on SoundCloud; great production, everything sounds just fabulous. And Janice's voice is world class; a total pro. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for listening,
Bob

Glad to have you back Bob! Your big ol' country voice sounds great on this and I love the production. "Tony Lama buckaroos" What a cool song. Reminds me of something Willie might have written in his outlaw years. Loved it.
Great job.

That was great !
The tremelo guitar is so well placed in the song.
Nice "oohs" at the end too.
Enjoyed that, thanks.

A good listen, Bob. The first couple of tremolo chords hit a bit loud on my speakers, it settles in later on, as it goes. Nice write and vocal. Captured the "cowboy song" well.
floyd I agree with Floyd-the first few tremolo chords kind of "bit" my ears. Otherwise, this is totally first class!! Everything is great!! Take care. Greg
