A Simple Country Song

I just finished watching the Tammy Wynette and George Jones series and thought "I should do a country song". Thus the song and the title!

BiaB style = Marty - 50's Country
Tempo = 64 BPM

I deleted the drums.
Drums - GrooveMonkee country MIDI drum loops - drums - Steven Slate's SSD-5 - preset country
Bass - Ample Bass - preset P-Bass
Guitar - Sonivox - Taylor acoustic guitar
Strings- Kontakt - Aurora - Altos and Sopranos together
Me - Lead guitar
Me-via my MIDI keyboard controller - Kontakt - Lap Steel - preset - Crying
My good friend BobH is playing the acoustic rhythm guitar

As usual all comments welcomed.


My momma didn't raise a fool. And if she did it, was one of my brothers.

Hi Mario,

This is very tasty - well done.

IMHO - It would be great with some vocals. Maybe some of you "country" folk out there could oblige.

Best Regards
Nigel

Hey Mario, that really is some ol' 50's sounding country. Good job. I thought the Aahs in the background helped to bring out that feel, they did start to sound a bit computerized sustaining a note a while though. I'm not very experienced with those, so I don't know if that can be easily corrected. I met George once and he was very nice to me. I can almost see him sitting at the table with a shot glass in front of him while listening to your tune. Well done.

Yep, that's country!

My favorite part was your tremolo guitar track, great sound! Steel guitar sounds good too, amazing you did that with your keyboard.

Good stuff, Mario!

Thanx so much Nigel. If anyone wants to add vocals just let me know and I will send you what you want/need.

Thanx Vic. Yes this is more of a George song than a Tammy song.

Thanx Brad. That vocal part was from a choir and in a choir they can hold a note a lot longer than a single vocalist as they can breath at different times. However I will take this into account for future songs.

Yes George was a wild and crazy guy at times wasn't he.

Thanx so much. That tremolo guitar was a salute to another one of my guitar heroes Duane Eddy. I just didn't add as much reverb as he did.

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

COOOOOL,
this is begging for a lyrics & vocal as the melody is clear and effective.
I dig instrumentals but I also love it when they share the stage with a vocal.


Cheers

Man, if they still allowed cigarette commercials, this would be ideal for Marlboro. I really like the way you interpret life with music, Mario. Such a fine talent that immerses us in the world around us. A fine melody well played.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Mario,

As David said... "This is some hardcore old school grand ol Opry country my friend."

Like stepping back 60 years (or 70?)

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.

Mario,

Excellent production work here. You’ve captured that classic country sound and feel well. Yeah, this is begging for a good set of lyrics and a country crooner. Very cool!

Best regards,

Deej

Mario....I just wanted to hear Patsy singing a lead vocal in this one...I'm a sucker for slip note piano and I hear some in the background...Floyd Cramer was my hero...very nostalgic and very country...loved it!
