This is a great song Tommy. You have such a professional studio sound to all of your recordings (care to share? lol). Fantastic steel, guitar solo, lyrics and vocals. I enjoyed this a lot! Sonny

Tom,
Your writing steps up one more bar with each new song. This is...perfect.
Your singing gets better with each song... you've really hit your stride there...
The steel playing is pro (perfect).
The Tele sounds outrageous!!!! Nice picking!
Those drums sound great! Your production is ...well.. Perfect.
Mix. Perfect.
I've listened a dozen times so far.. What a great hook!
WOW.

"You have such a professional studio sound to all of your recordings " Yeah, and really really clever lyrics! Perfection...and I'm not even really much of a country fan. But, tunes like the Stones "Dead Flowers", et al, have opened my spectrum a bit, and I know good music when I hear it. This is good music.

we’ve given up we've had enough our hands are in the air
We’re a perfect match and an unlikely pair Wonderful words from the days when people actually had to meet to talk  Hope you and your family have a great Christmas break All the best Alyn

A new, hot tele and a dusty, smokin' steel isn't such an unlikely pair to be found on a Tom Adams country hit... but like Mr. Tall and Mrs. Small, a perfect match.
Great song, performance and mix.

There's something about great writing that's hard to put your finger on, but this is it!! It's about something that feels so relaxed and natural and yet works so perfectly. Like a line that's drawn free hand, and makes a perfect circle. Like snowflakes falling out of the sky that join to make some perfect image. This is AWESOME!! I particularly got a kick out of it because it has so many parallels to my marriage. I'm very tall and my wife is short. I lean right and she leans left, although with us, it sometimes gets a little chippy. We've been married 30 years and it has been on balance wonderful. This, like many of Tom's recent posts is a hit, and again, much more than a hit because of humor, wit, and heart. Amazing stuff Tom!! AMAZING!! Take care. Greg

This is a great song Tommy. You have such a professional studio sound to all of your recordings (care to share? lol). Fantastic steel, guitar solo, lyrics and vocals. I enjoyed this a lot! Sonny Thanks, Sonny. The real tracks sit really well into this mix of song construction loops and multitrack song files. A lot of the credit goes to how well the loops were recorded in the first place. On the mastering stage I have been recently using the waves plug-in. LinMB as the last thing after Ozone6 on the final output stereo track. Here is a link to an overview. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-Kql3eqcbk Thanks again, glad you liked it. Tom Tom,

Hi Tommy,
a perfect song. Everything fits. You're right with your anticipation that this song makes you dance around the house. How did you do the beginning and ending of the drums? That sounds great. Very, very enjoyable.

Awesome tune. Excellent vocal and lyric. Telecaster was smokin. Steel awesome as well would love to be able to that instrument. Thanks Scott, I got hooked on steel back in the Seventies after seeing New Riders of the Purple Sage. You should try and find one - it would be much easier to learn these days with the net. Tom A new, hot tele and a dusty, smokin' steel isn't such an unlikely pair to be found on a Tom Adams country hit... but like Mr. Tall and Mrs. Small, a perfect match.
Great song, performance and mix.
Charlie, I appreciate it. Thanks for checking in. Tom

Greg Greg, All of us songwriter's love analogies, so thanks for including a few in your review. i appreciate your words very much. Tom Hi Tommy,
a perfect song. Everything fits. You're right with your anticipation that this song makes you dance around the house. How did you do the beginning and ending of the drums? That sounds great. Very, very enjoyable.
Guenter Guenter, After creating the song in Biab, I found some song construction loops and multitrack song files that fit. The drums were what was already there in the loop. In the multitrack drum loops for each song or style, there are usually about 50 loops, intros, outros, verses, choruses,bridges, fills, so it is very easy to construct a full song with custom drums and have them in 7 piece multitrack form. But the real magic happens when you plug in the real tracks on top- they blend in seamlessly, as long as the arrangement matches the SGU. You can't beat real drums for ease of use and overall sound, but I have decided to experiment a bit with song construction loops and multitrack song files as a base and add real tracks and live instruments on top. Of course all the writing initially takes place in Biab. At this point I can't live without it! Thanks, Tom

Now that is HOT!!!
Really nice work. Love the "Tele tone" on that song. Nothing over the top but all things in their proper place and not exceeding the levels of tasty licks.... and that combination takes the entire song totally over the top in a really good way!!!!!
You are on a roll with your writing.... I love the fact that you brought this super song in at under 3 minutes with time to spare. That's a lost art in song writing. Lots of energy and a good topic.
Loved it

Forgive my ignorance but "In the multitrack drum loops for each song or style, there are usually about 50 loops, intros, outros, verses, choruses,bridges, fills, so it is very easy to construct a full song with custom drums and have them in 7 piece multitrack form." Are these files you're referencing BIAB loops and files or are they third party product? Does " 7 piece multitrack form." meaning each drum,hi-hat, tom occupy an individual track in RB or another DAW or a drum kit mixed to an individual stereo file on a single track in BIAB? My understanding of loops is ... well ... a misunderstanding.

I'm late to the party and its all been said but Floyd said exactly what I was thinking: Tom,
Your writing steps up one more bar with each new song. This is...perfect.
Your singing gets better with each song... you've really hit your stride there...
The steel playing is pro (perfect).
The Tele sounds outrageous!!!! Nice picking!
Those drums sound great! Your production is ...well.. Perfect.
Mix. Perfect.
WOW.
floyd
I must admit though that I think this song is about my wife and I. Opposites do attract and I know if both of us were to sign up for match.com no one would have put us together, yet we have been married for 48 years. PS - all I can add is this is what country is supposed to sound like
