it's the rhythm of the road
it's a haunting melody”. I kept waiting for some percussion (cajon or djembe) but I understand why you elected to go bare. It’s a lullaby and you don’t want to wake up you want to put to sleep. It’s extremely hard to argue with perfection but after multiple listens (always a good sign) I kept wanting to bring up the bass just a bit. A beautiful write by a very talented craftsman, Tom


Nothing I like better than a review like that coming from someone who really "knows their stuff"! smile

I had been listening to Jason Isbell "Southeastern" a bunch when I did this production. A number of the songs on that album have no drums (or percussion), so I thought I'd give that a try on this... (and Andy's mandolin has a lot of nice punch)

I always think of you when I mix the bass (since you've mentioned it on other songs). I listened again to the Soundcloud version of this - through the cheap speakers on my computer - and I'm hearing plenty of bass there...

Thanks for the careful listen!
