Well, they say they are looking for classic country, and they don't want nothing but the hits so that's all we're writin'. The lyrics were inspired by the new bestselling book "The Many Lives and Loves of Tater Totts." Herb said I should do a Lo Fi Version. Help me pick!! https://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs2/a-wanted-manSpecial Lo Fi Version for Herb https://soundcloud.com/tater-totts-radio/a-wanted-man_lo-fi-versionA Wanted Man by David Snyder Produced and Engineered by Tater Totts V1 Well I used to have myself a lot of women 'Til I found out that my name had got round It seems the girls don’t like Sharing all that much Now they run me out of Thirteen dozen towns, and CH They don’t want me in Oklahoma Alabama or North Dakota no one cares at all exactly where I am Oh I wish that I was still The King of the Hill Yes I wish that I was still A wanted man V2 One day you know I might end up in prison For stealin’ hearts and running from the law But when that warden comes And shows me to my cell I’ll swear I loved Everything I saw, and CH They don’t want me in California Tennessee or Minnesota no one cares at all exactly where I am Oh I wish that I was still The King of the Hill Yes I wish that I was still A wanted man Inst.

Hi, David.
Clever write, nice emotive singing. Catchy, nice chorus.
The harmonica riff after "...in prison" was perfect, because I could just see Tater sitting in the cell blowing his harp.

I think it's too full sounding for what you're shooting at.
Strip it down.... 4 instruments...... and cut the lows and mids....
try to replicate as closely the example they give you.

Hmmm.
Interesting Herb. So you think they want lo fi?
Maybe I'll do a lo fi version and send it to ya.
I thought they meant "in the style of but not "in the mix of..."
You think they want it to sound 1940s radio?

Could very well be a movie scene with an old radio playing in the background...set in the 50's in the south. You never know what the scene is unless they tell you. I had a chance to write something like that to a TAXI listing a while back. They actually told us what was happeining on screen and background info on the movie. But if they wanted a modern sounding mix, they might have given an example from a Hank Williams and friends cover/tribute CD more recently released. Of course, I could be over thinking it too.

Herb, I just did a Lo Fi version for you and pasted it under the Hi Fi Version. I have enough credits to send a lo fi version and a Hi i version so oh Hayle why not? Let them pick. Good thinking by the way. I might like the lo fi version better.

Split the difference.
In the first mix the acoustic guitars are kind of muddy - heavy in the low end, not really sounding like acoustic guitars (but maybe that is what you intended). I don't recall a mix from you before that had acoustic guitar like that.
The second one sounds better, but the vocal needs some "warmth". Roll off the highs (on the vocal).
But, those are just observations. Not knowing what "the need" is... so I could be off-base.

David, I view/listen to this as a work in progress. With that said, I feel you have the foundation for great country tune! Really like where you are taking the chorus on this! Thanks, Torrey

This was such a cool song! Glad you just went with both, because there was no way I was going to be able to help you pick. Really clever write on the lyrics, as always.
Cheers,
Ember

Nice work on this, David! I think I prefer the lo-fi version just a little bit, although I am admittedly a little bias as I really like the lo-fi sound. Although they are definitely equal - just a matter of preference Great job, and thanks for sharing!
Cheers,
Deryk

Well I liked the original version most but both are great. As others noted, the lyrics here are very clever ... love it. The vocals are perfect for the song. And by the way, I definitely resonate with the actual message of the song :-)
