Time for a change in the music I produce. I wanted to produce a track that could turn a bad day (for me) into a better day - just by listening to some music. It's a sort of "vintage" rock inspired by a sound from many decades ago. I hope you like it. A Good Day All credit should go to the amazing RT-soloists RT1273 and RT3214. Also used RT1268, RT1277 and RT1269. RealDrums: Rock16thsSync^01. Will

Hi Will!
Good song! The instruments really stand out. In my (MHO) I would have loved to hear a change in the middle to give me a respite then back to the grove. This song reminds me a little of: A Whiter Shade of Pale" by Procol Harum, but, all in all, good listening!
Thanks for sharing!!!
All the best,
Dave

Hi Dave, Thanks. I understand what you mean, but I just wanted to make a very simple track that I can listen to in the morning and get an uplifting kick before I go to work.  Will

Thank you Kenny,
Yes, the drums is actually my favorite part as well. Worked quite a bit with them so they could support the soloists in the best possible way.
Thanks for listening!
Will

Will,
The drums carry this very "up" instrumental.I like the harp too- don`t often hear it given time to shine.
Retro rock is good when its done like this!

Wow, there's nothing like good old classic rock jammin'! I like the way you alternate between the harmonica and lead guitar. At different points in the song, I could hear various other bands from that era. Santana is one of them, but I can't think of the names of the other ones because it's been so long since I heard those bands. It's definitely a "feel good" song, so you achieved your goal with this one.
