Hi guys I've been using audio file for many years just never posted any of my stuff here. Here's a song I wrote a reasonably long time ago and just resurrected it with audiophile, some new lyrics and a new bridge. It's called they call her the evenstar. Hope you like it. Listen to (They call her) The Evenstar by Westside Steve Simmons #np on #SoundCloud https://soundcloud.com/westside-steve-simmons/evenstar-1-platWSS

Thanks for sharing this song with us! You have a really lovely sound, and I really love the content to this song. I'd be curious to hear the original if you still have it kicking around somewhere, even if it was just a recording you made back in the day, just to listen to them side-by-side. But this version is very, very lovely and you should be proud of it!
Cheers,
Ember

Wow, thank you all so very much. As far as the original version that would have been back in the 70s and the recording techniques we're pretty much limited to a board mix of the band when I was in one. I'm beginning year number 30 has a solo now.
As with a lot of my older songs when I go back 40 plus years I sometimes blush with embarrassment over some of my lyrics. That's one of the reasons I brought this one back and worked on them.

Really nice song - excellent lead and harmony vocals.
Clearly a professional sound (some nice youtube videos out there).

Really nice track, very much enjoyed it...would have liked:
the lyrics -- I like to follow along as I listen
how you built the production -- which tracks are live, which are BIAB? Which Style?
Besides getting the enjoyment of listening to a well-made song like this, it would be great to understand what is behind the production!
Thanks for sharing!

Thanks guys. By the way Tano and the rest of you I apologize for not following the rules. I'm going to have to look up the file and see which exact Styles I used. As far as the recording program its sonar Platinum the microphone is an AKG 414 interface is Audient preamp is a focusrite isa one.
With the steel solo I recorded a couple of them and cut and pasted phrases I liked.

Well done with standout vocals!
The mix sounds fine on our monitors. This is obviously not your first production rodeo!
Got that early country rock feel going a la Eagles, etc.
Kudos...

Very well done! Right from the first 5 seconds my toe was tapping. The groove on this is infectious. I'm imagining this performed in a live setting and sounding incredible, and filling a dancefloor easily. Not to mention your vocal performance is great. Thanks so much for sharing 
Cheers,
Deryk

Very nice job. It has an Eagles vibe to it... from their early years.
I like this .... I have also contemplated going back and reworking a few of the early years projects, and of course, updating the music and the lyrics.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Yes I have dozens of songs kicking around from the 70s and 80s. Every once in awhile I like to pick one out and give it a facelift. WSS

Steve this is pro all the way. Everything is spot on. Your vocals are fantastic and your lyrics are great. Add those to this perfect backing track and you have a winner.
When this started I immediately thought of The New Riders of the Purple Sage then it morphed into Eagles. Great job on that!
This is a keeper.
