Thanks Marty! I'm a big Waylon fan so this was a bit of an experiment in styles etc, one I think that has given dividends lol. Thank you also for hitting up my Soundclick account, hope you enjoyed what you heard.

As always, respect

Pete[quote=DC Ron]Nice job, Pete. Super arrangement and strong vocals. Very authentic sounding American country, especially by a Brit. Interestingly/sadly, from my recent listens, American country has become something of a glossy parody of the country I grew up listening to when Waylon and the other Outlaws were defining the genre. IMHO you're doing a much more authentic take in Lancashire. smile

Rob, thank you so much. I couldn't agree more with you in regards to the current material coming out of Nashville, way too "poppy" for my tastes. That said I'm sure the purists said exactly the same when the likes of Garth Brooks etc hit the scene!!

I was, like you, introduced (by my late dad) to the likes of Waylon,Merle, Cash etc as a youngster and have lived the genre ever since.

Lancashire thanks you👍😂👍

Nice write, and well sung and arranged!

I'm just not sure what a "rusted jar" is. wink

David, thank you very much. I appreciate your comment. Now, as for a 'rusty jar' I kinda used it as a metaphor as we all hide/put things away in our minds etc..... Well that was my intention anyway lol. Oh and it rhymes lol

Well sir, that's a very large compliment indeed, thank you so much

Great backing band and an excellent mix
