Hey guys...This post is a different take for me...it's a folk style offered up with a gritty rock guitar in its midst and a military beat inspired by an old hymn...are you curious yet? Only BiaB could create such an option and I think it fits the song well...you decide...so if you do...thanks for listening...Best regards...Dan

Hi Dan,

Good song, excellent mix and vocals.

Unusual placement of drums on the left but it works really well - worked for the Beatles also.

Best Regards

Dan,

This track has a big, beautiful sound! Love that guitar and banjo mixed hard opposite off each other! It really clears the path for the awesome vocals, which are super btw! That goes for the excellent harmony work!
This mix really works well for all the instrumentation! Love the old school panning of the drums...refreshing re-visit to techniques employed years ago! The best part of all of it is that this is a great song and lyrics! The drums "marching" off in the fade is perfect! Dan, I feel this is probably one of your best tracks overall! It checks all the boxes for a top tier song!

Thanks, Torrey

Firesong,

You are a talented musician and songwriter, no doubt. Love the vocal on this—just the right touch of reverb (has an almost Chris Isaac feel to it). Wonderful harmonies, great arrangement . . . Lord knows, I’m not much into Christian Rock . . . but a song like this could change my mind. Pretty but with teeth. Good stuff!

All my best,

Deej

Dan you are a master at the console. Love the depth and clarity of your productions. Super vocal and very cool backtrack. This sounded so good on the monitors. Well done.

My sincere thanks to all of you guys:

Herb: thanks for your comments.

Mario; always great to get a Wow! from you.

Nigel: I wanted to spread out the band and I may yet automate the drummer and have him march around the stereo field smile

Marty: it means a lot to me that you liked the mix...you are a master at great ones!

Rob and Ann-Marie: music should always have harmony in it, right?

Floyd: I always appreciate your thoughts and value your opinions.

Torrey: thanks so much for you comments...they always encourage me to pay more attention to the finer points of a mix...can't tell you how much I value your thoughts.

Deej: I'm not a Christian rocker...but...there is some great stuff out there...thanks for your thoughts (BTW love Chris Isaac)
