We agree with the Carrie Underwood comparisons too.
You and the wrecking crew worked well together.

Well done!

Everyone keeps talking about Underwood. I'm going to have to go listen to some of her stuff and compare for myself I guess. But either way, that's a nice compliment.

Thanks for listening and jumping in.

The piano was good and fit into the song just fine. I'm not recommending you change anything, but a Floyd Cramer RealTrack (there are a few) would have worked well with the classic feel of this song.

The lyrics were good and cohesive with only a few lines and phrases where AI lyrically was not quite tweaked with how you usually write nor how this song would be written in the 70's. Two lines jump out to me and there's one phrase that particularly reminds me back to my very earliest song posts where you pointed out to me a writing habit I had at that time and here in this song, AI sneaked it into the lyrics. Those lyrics brought back memories of both the good advice from you that made my lyric writing better and some fun memories from my early posting days.

This is a very good song, arrangement, production and your precise editing and producing is top notch. Enjoyed my listen.

Charlie
Thanks Charlie. Yeah.... I think I know what you are talking about with the lyrics.

I appreciate you.

Wow what a cool country tune. Lovely vocal and lyric. Backtrack was perfect for the song. Amazing technology...
