This is a song that harkens back to the ageless hymns straight from the church hymnal.

But.... it's not your granny's version of the song.

Drums, bass, B3, and 2 of the guitar tracks are BB/RB

The other guitar tracks.... delightfully crunchy, phased, and of course the leads are all my playing.

5 vocal tracks combined with some digital wizardry.... and you have this song.

It Is Well

As always, comments are welcome. Hope you enjoy this version of the old classic.

If you don't know the back story to this song and how it came to be written, check this link>>> https://www.staugustine.com/article/20141016/LIFESTYLE/310169936

Note: Cans or good speakers will deliver the best sound.... crank it or not.... your choice.

Influences for this production: Kutlass & Def Leppard concert on TV.

Great modern production...
It sounds it would have fit quite well with the P & W songs I heard this past Easter weekend...
Nicely done...
I enjoyed it!

LOUD it is.
I don't know - I think with the snap of the snare being louder than the vocal the melody becomes 2nd in consciousness.
Very up and, as we say in Oz, "happy clappy".

This is an excellent song that kicks butt. Super mix here. Your vocal is really strong.

This is fantastic.

Loved the intro. Super vocal and loved the guitars. Definitely not "Grannys version" :-). Well done

"And Lord haste the day when my faith shall be sight, the clouds be rolled back like a scroll."

Got to be my favorite old Hymn, if only for this line alone. Powerful version that raised goose-bumps on me. Loved this.

Herb ...

This is a really nice production. The backing tracks are a perfect fit and your guitar work, as usual, is excellent. This is one of your best vocals ... of the ones I've heard.

Excellent in all respects!

Jim, It is most certainly, in the style of the modern christian bands. Glad you enjoyed it.

Loud it is... intentionally....but not "bricked" ..... and the snare, and drums overall, are intentionally up front. (Waiting on the day when PG gives us the option to play with the kit levels)

Guitarhacker:

This one worked really well for me—rich and compelling production. I’m not familiar with the source material, but this version resonates. Some great guitar work and the vocals are heartfelt and genuine. Thumbs up from this end!

Regards,

Deej

Thank you for listening. Every song has a back story.... some more interesting than others, some from sadder origins.

I had fun putting this together. It is a very powerful song.... and I tried to convey that in the music.

The intro came as a kind of after thought. It's a copy/paste from another section of the song. I thought the drums on this.... a real drums track from BB/RB was very interesting. As I mentioned in another post, I'd love to have better control over the kit parts. I'd really love to turn those cymbals down in the chorus.... blue to green... but with out that option.... it's a compromise between the highs and a washed out track in the blue.... they are a bit hot but it is what it is.

I'm contemplating a few more "not-your-granny's-version" hymns... we;ll have to see.

Thanks for listening.
