really good job on some old school country.
Not much to not like there. You check all the right boxes..... production, choice of tracks, mix, writing..... it's all there and in it's proper place.
Sounds like it could have been a Merle Haggard song in the day.
Nice.
Herb, thanks for all that. Haggard was a huge influence on my country side. I appreciate your comments, Tom Hi Tom,
Great to see you with a new song, it's been too long!
This is just so professional on every level, man, those vocals and harmonies! And that pedal steel ... wonderful. Excellent job on the mix also.
Loved it!
Dave, glad you liked it. This started as an exercise trying to get back to some steel playing and mushroomed from there. Thanks again, Tom Tom,
This is great. Also great to hear you again - love the song and production.
Outstanding music on every level.
Bob Bob, thanks for your continued support, Tom

Really nice work Tom  I'm definitely getting some old school country vibes here. Your vocals are top notch, and the mix is crisp and professional sounding. That aside, it just a pleasant tune. Perfectly catchy, and really sincere sounding. Great job and thanks for sharing! Deryk, thanks for taking the time to listen and comment. I sure do appreciate it, Tom

Tom,
It's really great to see you appear in the forum again. You've definitely been missed.
What I love most about your compositions and presentations is that every time I listen, I hear nothing but pure quality... your playing, your singing, your writing, your mix and production all work together like a really slick Olympic gold-medal team. It's ALWAYS a pleasure to sit back, close my eyes and listen.
I really enjoyed everything about this.
All the best,
Noel

"I ain’t too thirsty
But I’ll take that drink
Baby this one’s for you"
Classic Cry-in-your-beer Country, through and through.
Great to see ya back, Tom! (Even if it's just for a bit...)
You have the perfect vocal tone for these type songs. That Vern Gosdin kind of thing...
Awesome production/arrangement and mix. Crystal clear (as always). The acoustic guitars sound great. Nice steel (so cool that you can add that yourself - hardly fair, ya know...)
Excellent.
fj floyd, thanks for the kind comments. Vern was the man along with being known as “the voice “. It was fun to revisit this classic style, Tom

They don't write em like that anymore
except
Tom Adams does
this is excellent in every way
a drunkard's lament, so well written, sang, mixed
it feels classic, there's so much to like
thanks for sharing, enjoyed it so much
Kenny Kenny, thanks for your great review. A drunkard’s lament for sure, Tom "In the wreckage of words that killed it all off
We were just fine but now we’re through"
Whoa...does that ever set the tone for a killer classic country tune. Janice was immediately and I mean immediately singing harmony. And she said, "that's one I'll wake up in the morning hearing!"
Janice and I both kinda looked at each other and agreed when floyd mentioned Vern. Never thought about that but, yeah!
A fine treat for us all. Tom steel, Tom write, Tom vocals and a Tom great mix.
This one would sit right in with ANY classic country playlist!
Kudos...
J&B
A big thanks to you both. I don’t know about this Vern thing. I am not worthy of such a comparison but I’ll gladly take it, Tom

Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Tom,
What a great surprise and treat to hear a new one from you. I, too, played this style of music for close to fifty years - made a very good living doing it and having one heck of a time.
Wow, this hits all the high points of classic country. I fully agree with the Vern Gosdin comment - also Gene Watson comes to mind.
As many have said - nothing not to like and everything to put a smile on the face of a true country fan. Simply perfect!

Wonderful vocals, lyric and playing.
Just a terrific song.
Peter
Peter, thanks for your continued support, Tom Classic old style country, the kind that I love, and you did it more than justice. Your vocal, your backing tracks and your playing are all outstanding. I can see one of the old outlaws singing this or maybe George Jones.
This was fantastic and maybe your best thus far. Mario, thanks for all that. I did think a little about the possum when recording this one. Thanks again, Tom

Outstanding!
I always enjoy your songs. Your production is always so impressive. And I have always enjoyed your vocals. The texture of your voice is so good, especially for this type of song.
Great write. Love the steel. Like has been said already, not much to not like about this one.
Good to hear from you!
Steve
Steve, I appreciate your kind words, Tom Tom,
Great lyrics ( love that twist in verse 2!) and your voice has that lived & lost quality perfect for the style.
Your pedalsteel sounds just right too.
Welcome back from the road.
Robert
Robert, thanks for the nice review,Tom Man, what a great song. Strong concept, strong write, strong production, and executed so well.
I love the internal rhyme you have thrown in; which breaks up the end rhymes. Brilliant. Lyrically, you had me just waiting to hear what was coming next AND the payoff was always so worth it!
Obviously, the production was what I would expect from you...lacking. Ha! So kidding! Top notch of course! I love how you manage clean AND warm. So NOT easy.
You definitively picked the perfect tempo to create the correct pacing for the entire song. Classic all the way around.
I would sit here and continue to drool over your song while writing my comments; but it will wreck my equipment. Great job again Tom! Caaron,Thank you kindly for taking the time to listen and offer such great comments and support, Tom

Late to the party, but wow. I really enjoyed the lyrics - great country write, solid production, well sung. Everything sits nicely in the mix, the arrangement of the instruments stepping in and out is seamless. It may seem odd to hear, but I especially liked how you slipped in that tambourine! Excellent all around.

Such a cool country ballad, Tom. Definitely Old School RnAM, thanks for stopping by, Tom "I ain’t too thirsty
But I’ll take that drink
Baby this one’s for you"
Classic Cry-in-your-beer Country, through and through.
Great to see ya back, Tom! (Even if it's just for a bit...)

Awesome production/arrangement and mix. Crystal clear (as always). The acoustic guitars sound great. Nice steel (so cool that you can add that yourself - hardly fair, ya know...)
Excellent.
fj I agree with all that except I don't know who Vern Gosdin is!! This song just kills!!! Every note and every word nails it with a great finish to the chorus. WOWOWOWOW!!! Your best vocal ever. Killer! Take care. Greg That made me laugh! You are in for a treat discovering Vern. Thanks for the terrific review and your continued support, Tom "Great Grandpa" Tom you don't hardly look old enough to be a grand parent! It's great to hear from you again. I knew before listening that this would be great and you did not disappoint! Super singing, writing, arrangement and production (as always). Great song! Thanks, Torrey Yep, I am now officially one of the old guys. Thanks for all that, Tom That just sounds pro in every respect. Great write and perfectly executed. Thanks for sharing.
Dave Dave, your words are much appreciated, Tom

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
