I like that you change to minor key in the chorus part.
But you return to the major key again soon.
As for me I wanted you to continue the minor key a little longer.
But that is merely my taste, please do not mind.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Hello Shigeki. When I used the minor chord I couldn't find another minor chord to go along with it so I changed back to a major chord as you mentioned. Thank you for your great comment.Rob

All together a very professional sounding tune - thanks for sharing smile

Very cool tune.

This immediately hit me as having a Blue Bayou kind of groove. Roy Orbison as David said, is dead on. This also is right in the same vein as The Mavericks. Easily one of my favorite bands that never really got the acclaim they deserved.

Yep... nice work

This may be may favorite performance and mix of yours, Rob. Really, really good.


Roy was immediately what I thought!! Even some of the unusual chord changes and the rhythmic groove are very "Roy". This is really cool, and vocals are wonderful!! Take care. Greg

Rob,
I listened to the intro a few times.I don't mind the guitar starting the song over one the side at all, when the 2nd one comes in it doesn't seem to quite match it for tone but that's OK because the bass & drums come in pretty quickly to fill the space.
I reckon you could duplicate the strings and put a set on the other side with a slight change to time, (a delay of a milisecond or three would be enough), or tone to get a BIG O effect. As they are the higher violin sounds closer to a pedal steel. I guess that's the difference between a string quartet and a clutch of violins. Alternately you could use an Automatic Double Tracking plug like https://www.kvraudio.com/product/adt_by_vacuumsound to do it for you. It takes a little fiddling to get the thing right but it's easier than actually double tracking.
The solo is excellent but ends a bar short. You could copy & paste the last note and extend it so it plays out or generate a tag part and import that to fill the empty bar.


Cheers

Wow Rob,

If ever there was anybody else here on the forum, trying to create an evergreen.
I forgot, because you are clearly the master at that.
Very cool sound!

Sounds really good Rob! I agree with David that it's in the Roy Orbison style! That minor chord change you put in makes the song much more appealing to me! Thanks, Torrey
