Hi Al.
Marty was a master of that kind of song.
Back in the sixties the band I was in done a few of his: Big Iron, El Paso, Devil Woman, Ribbon of Darkness etc.
Thank you for the encouraging words.
Vic

Vic & Dottie,
A good write - interesting lyrics throughout.
Backing BAND is appropriate.
You sing these type songs well.

Aging ears are a big problem, Tommy. A few months ago I was told I'd lost about 25% high frequency hearing in my right ear and 15% low frequency in my left. I was given some earbuds to compensate but I'm finding it hard to adjust to the new rush of sound. I also forget to wear them.  Thank you for your comments. I hear them ok.  Vic

Thanks Marty.
Actually the lyrics are the bone of contention to Dottie and I.
She wanted to use all her lyrics but they didn't fit with the melody I had so they had to be changed.
Not sure if she has forgiven me yet and she is asking around for someone else to do a different version.
That will be interesting.
Vic

Hi Deej.
I know what you’re saying about the lyric.
This one was a case of too many cooks in the kitchen. I knew that at the start.
Our original lyric had been put through the mincer of a songwriter’s forum by Dottie. I did manage to make a few changes but it remains the work of multi writers.
Thanks for the comment.
Vic

That’s a good collab, Vic.
Your vocals sit well in the mix and the band gives a good C&W vibe to the song.
Well done!

Hi Vic,
Just listened to your wanted song and I read all the comments.
I also read about your loss of high frequency in your right ear.
To start with that, you are not the only one. I have it too, but in my left ear.
I always compensate that frequency a bit in my mixes. But It's always a bit of a guess.
Good news: my right ear is ok ;-)
Back from those ear things to your song. a good one, Vic!
I liked it very much. At first the words you used in the lyrics and also the funny story;
The guitarplay was (of course) very good. They were pleasing for the ears (here they are again...).
And it had a good, straight forward tempo. Did hear a bit distortion in the vocals, but I thought that was on purpose.
It suits well!
Yes, you are a wanted man for sure!
Take care on Christmas eve...
Hans

Here's to you, Hans. I still can't understand the distortion but it seems to be on the harmony voice. Thanks for the comment and a Merry Christmas to you. Vic

Excellent tune Vic. Cool lyric and vocal. Song has an excellent groove. I too got a bit of vocal distortion. and the vocal is sitting at about 11 o'clock on my monitors. Just minor nits overall and very cool song..

Thanks Scott.
I'm still adjusting it but my daw channel monitor shows one harmony 9 o'clock and the other at 3 o'clock.
The main vocal is centre at 12 o'clock which is where I want them. I just took the volumes down a tad to try and get rid of the distortion.
I may come back to the vocals and re do them if that doesn't work.
Vic

Hi Vic.
This is excellent. You and Dottie have written a fine song.
I love the backing. It sets the mood and the driving force of the song really well.
I enjoyed my listen a lot.
