Nice work on the song.

A local steel player posted that Brian May ( from QUEEN ) song, LAST HORIZON on his facebook page. Sarah isn't too shabby, nor is her guitar player.... love that video.


So... nits.... right after 2:04 there was some disagreement in the steel with the backing.... So... to try to resolve that, Have real band generate the track several times. There's a good chance it will play something different each time. Use a DAW to comp the track parts. Not a fan of how it ended.

All in all though, the mix is stellar and crystal.



There's just something angelic about a steel guitar.



Hi Herb!

Many thanks for the kind visit. I laughed to myself as I read part of your comment because I thought as I posted this "Herb ain't gonna like that ending very much!" Ha! I know how you feel about resolving to the tonic chord in most cases. We somewhat disagree on that - but that's okay.

That bit of dissonance you hear right after 2:04 and again a couple of times thereafter is intentional. The song is in the key of B-flat. The verses start in B-flat and then moves to E-flat for two measures. In that first measure of E-flat, the bass stays in B-flat and then moves to E-flat in the second E-Flat measure. I kind of liked that contrast.

But I'm delighted you liked it over all. And thanks for the nice words on the mix! I appreciate your comments very much. Wishing you the very best.

Alan
