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.

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

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,

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!

Thank you, Robert.
Do you think the mixing is ok? I'm not very experienced with this style of music.

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.
