Very nice Chris. I don't understand a word of French, but I liked the way your singer used his voice. It fit the production well, I thought. I really liked the use of your acoustic guitar and percussion - it really carried the beat well. Also the adding of that dobro was nice. I may have upped the bass a little to add a little more low end to the tune, but that's just me. This is a real good soundin', toe tappin' song.

Very nice track. I agree with Brad about adding bass. Everything else in the mix goes well together. How did you do the part where the guitar pauses on the first beat?

Thanks, Brad an Seth, for your comments.
I've tried to increase the bass volume but I was not convinced by the result.
To get the pause on the chord, you have to select the chord, click right, select Chord Settings and select Hold Chord.

Cool funky tune with a terrific vocal that fit perfectly. Loved the almost percussive nature of Thierry's singing, reminded me a bit of Al Jarreau in that regard. Great job!

Cool funky groove, Chris. Thierry was an excellent choice. I like the whole band, and the melody was quite engaging.

Thanks TuneMonger and Marty,
I've composed this song about 40 years ago.
Thanks to Biab realtracks and thanks to Thierry's voice, I could give it a second birth.

Hi Chris,

Good song, good groove and very good vocals.

I thought the sax and guitar soloists could be quite a bit louder. As a guideline the soloists should be approximately the same volume and reverb as the main vocalist.

Best Regards
Nigel

Thank you, Nigel.
I followed your advice and I've changed the mp3 on Soundcloud.
