Excellent in every way ... you gentlemen hit the sweet spot on this. It's always a pleasure when two of the very best on the site share combine for some super listening. Well done!

Best to both of you. Be safe ...

Thanks, Alan. Always good to know that folks who know a genre well think you "got it right"... smile

Loved the rhythmic phrasing pauses - it made an already excellent song that much more interesting. It said to me that while this might sound classic, but wasn't just a copycat. The writer really knows the style.

Key change was effective.

With the steady beat, the song felt like a well-oiled machine. The attitude of the song comes through clearly, with vocals world-weary but not apologetic.


David - thanks for stopping by! You kind of hit on all the things that are hallmarks of the Outlaw style - the rhythmic phrasing, world-weary vocals, a steady beat (they usually kept the production simple and chugging along) - and, of course, the key change - almost on Outlaw cliche...

Thanks, Scott. We appreciate that. The harmony was generated using RealBand (I explained how in the response to Dave - above).
