Sweet Poverty - Fool's Gold

This is our first-ever post to the User Showcase!
The song is 'Sweet Poverty' and is about the unlikely subject of the Victorian Workhouse essentially it's about the fact that the poor had nothing at all, except Poverty - we got plenty of that.
Probably sounds a bit dismal put that way, but really - it isn't, it's more a song of hope.
I hope the details are what is needed, and hope that some of you might like it!

Steve & Carol,

A nice first post.
Sweet harmonies.
The arrangement/production is very well done. Y'all "got chops".
A delicate flute. Nice.

Welcome to the forum! This really sounds great, and your voices mesh like fine gears. Am reminded of Richard and Linda Thompson, which I don't say lightly. You guys really crushed it.

Hi!

Welcome to the Users Forum,

You're in good company here. I've been here close to 10 years and have enjoyed every moment. The folks here are respectful, helpful, and genuinely supportive of each other.

This is a wonderful song and so well presented. Nice clear vocals with a terrific supporting cast of backing tracks. I look forward to hearing more from you!

Wishing nothing but the very best,

Alan

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.

Hey,

That sounds really great you two! And welcome to the showcase!

This arrangement and production sounds really warm and nice, something that you can listen to again and again.

I really like what you did mixing the live instruments with the real tracks, and the vocals. The whole production is really good.

Looking forward to a lot more from you two!
