Hi Ron!
With reference to your signature block “Too many guitars … is that a thing?” Well not according to the STEELY style it isn’t!
Good pumping tempo lifted to 131 from 120 but that aids the upbeat sound - no pun intended. I like the jangle of the guitars, and wondered if an electric 12 string could add more, but admit I haven’t checked BB2026 to see if it has any.
The bridge was a nice key change, and no matter how many times I hear the minor IV chord - in your case over “In her own peculiar way” in the chorus - if I heard correctly - it never disappoints. I love your BVs in the last chorus. I didn’t hear any vocal cracks you mentioned, but maybe my ears are too accustomed to my own.
Well done for kicking off 2026 with no AI!
A great song!
Andrew
