Hello Fred,
You enjoyed me a lot with this song.
Vocals that reminded me of JJ Gale. I think Janice and Bud mentioned the same name.
A familiair sounding melody, but in a good tempo (the train on steam)
A band, playing good altogether, with a nice solo.
And the mix has been done very nice.
I read something about the abrupt ending of the song. Maybe you changed it already, because I think it's alright.
Hans Thanks, Hans. Not sure why the listener thought it was an abrupt ending. I didn't change it.

Not sure if it's clipping as well but there's some aggressive essing that the reverb seems to accentuate.
Is that noise at the beginning intentional?
A very relaxed vocal quite up front in the mix - most folk'll love that. I'd like it a dB of two further back but that's a personal pref.
Well done.
Cheers

Love the feel to this one! Good use of a changed meter in the pre-chorus to lead up to the chorus. Great guitar break as well!
The only suggestion I have is to make sure you mute or delete the vocal stem before you actually start singing and then have a smoother end to the song. Do you use a DAW? If so, this is easy to do there (as opposed to having BIAB doing it).
Na zdrowie!
Dewey

Nicely upbeat song and lyrics, I like "I’m standing still/Cutting off a rusty ball and chain". Very catchy groove, good vocals and a pleasant mix. A familiar sounding train song, but still feels original, it is not easy to leave this smoothly moving train with good service and sunny scenes.
Janne Thanks, Janne. I wrote those two lines this year, as I learned a bit of lyric writing in the last 25 years.

Well done. Thanks for the comments, RayC. This was a not quite final mix, so I will take your comments into consideration when the time comes to make it final. Fred

Wow. Ain't no dust on it now, Fred. Wonderful moving feel. Excellent vocal and harmony. Man, you captured that feel of the speeding train. Nice catch. Good choice of tracks, too. The BiaB Express.
