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

Smooth like crunchy peanut butter - little nuggets of texture and taste to keep it interesting.

This is top shelf work Nigel. For me there's a taste of Motown/R&B goin on here and as stated above, it's smoooth.
Love the band and the guitar squeaks.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

Good song with a nice drive, I like it a lot.
Maybe you could post the lyrics, I don't understand all of it.

This song has a terrific slow burn. Loved it! There are very short volume dropouts at 0:34, 1:10 and elsewhere that seem intentional but I wasn't sure. Not a big deal. Great job!

Hi TuneMonger,

Thanks for your comments.

Those dropouts are where only the guitar is playing.

However - you are right - a couple of those are a bit quiet so I have made them a bit more aggressive and louder.

Best Regards
Nigel

What a great lineup of talent, including the singer, Nigel. Love this easy-feel, and bouncing melody. You're right, that guitar and harmonica work so well. Great pro mix and that feel is so catchy.


Enjoy whatever happens!
