Kim was/is a Mellencamp fan...after he dropped the Cougar - she saw him in Sydney around the time of Small Town/Check It Out. Thankfully he wasn't the "Try That In A Small Town" type.
The only thing missing is the gated reverb snare. You've an huge snare so close enough. I find it hard to recreate that gated thing - probably because I have so many shudders remembering the use on many, many bad songs.
What a band.
Janice can rock & rock likes the heart on sleeve influences.
No particulars for this...the package is tied with stout string and a pretty bow & is filled with individual parts that REALLY make a song sing.
Thank you Ray. I tried several reverbs on that snare but I have to confess that nowadays reverb subtleties defy my marginal hearing. 😀 Our rock attempts are few and far between so as a rocker your comments are very supportive of the effort and much appreciated!
