Sorry I aint been check'n in much lately, had some medical emergencies in the family.
AOK for now!
I'll start catching up with all the great songs ASAP.
Man, this group is prolific.

I had a little time to record a song I wrote about 12 years ago.
BIAB did a few tracks I did the rest.

Here's "Oh Lord":

Hello Captain ...

Country gospel a great genre and you've just made that much better. This is a really great song which isn't "preachy". Real nice lyric and your vocal is wonderful. The track selection is good. The mic is good ..., but your vocal could come a just a little more forward in the mix. Not much, just a bit.

Thanks for a nice listen. Wishing you and yours well ...

Alan

Nice work on this - I agree with Alan, it doesn't come across as preachy at all for me. It's a well thought out song with some strong vocals. Nicely catchy too.

Thanks for sharing smile


Cheers,
Deryk

Thanks for giving it a listen folks.

As with all my songs, they come from some source of inspiration.

The story that goes with this is:

The personal conflict between people of faith who can often be hypocritical and those who question belief in a higher power.

Ha!
Thanks, I usually try to deliver a message in my songs.
I find it therapeutic.

I agree 100%. This how country gospel should sound.

Excellent song and message.

Al nailed our thoughts, "Country gospel a great genre and you've just made that much better. This is a really great song which isn't "preachy". Real nice lyric and your vocal is wonderful. The track selection is good..."

Very nice choices of BiaB tracks to accompany your performances.

Enjoyed it!

Nothing new for me to add here - what they said!

I especially liked the slide guitar.

The ending fade could be finessed a bit, though. wink

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
