...which MAY be a pretty low bar, BUT... This is 100% stock BiaB backing tracks. The vocals (not mine) are sublime... https://soundcloud.com/ron-davis-670103812/i-dont-think-about-itLyrics by R.W. Davis, vocals by Dusty Hughes.

DC Ron,
Yeah, this is very good, augmented by a some really strong production. Great work on the drums. Love the lyrics on the end of that second verse. And the vocal just hits the right note and mode.
If this is above your low bar, then you've got a lot of tunes worth hearing. This is a really good tune.
All the best,
Deej

Sounds good. Only thing I would suggest is that in some spots the steel guitar competes with the vocals. So in order to make sure the vocals come through clear may cut out the steel in certain spots. Otherwise it sounds really good.

This is a GREAT song. Love it. I hate to dissect things, so I won't, apart from saying this: it's a very organic song and that's one reason, in my humble opinion, why it works so well ... it holds together as if it was somehow improvised on the spot instead of written down - if that makes any sense! Again, great job - I will listen to more on your Soundcloud account :-)

Yep... this is a good song. Old style, "real" country music.
Love the singer's voice. That's a great match up for this song.
I like to listen before I read what others have said and I have to agree with Sammy Davis ... I thought this before I read his comment.
The steel competes with the vocal. My general rule of thumb is that if there's a vocal happening, I want a very solid rhythm behind them but nothing that distracts. Use a volume envelope to pull the steel totally out when the singer is on, and let the steel do some fills in the space in between. I also recommend switching out the steel with something like a piano for fills in the second verse. Keep the song-scape interesting. Think of the fill instruments as candy. A little bit is good... too much and... well you know the story.
A really good song. Work some more on the production. This song is about 85% done... fix the production and take it all the way.

Ha! So glad so many of you enjoyed it and took the time to provide feedback. I do love the lyrics and vocals. They just floor me. Samuel and Herb, THANK YOU for the feedback on the steel guitar fighting the vocals. I agree! The final stages of mixing and arranging are, for me, the most challenging. But also the most rewarding, *IF* I can ever "finish" a song. BTW, this style is _ACCNTRY from 2011. I'm sure I've panned/mixed it differently in the DAW, but the tracks are straight from the style.

Well done! You might want to drop the count in at the start, though.  But what will you do now that you've set your bar so high? It's the curse of rising above mediocrity. (Sorry, couldn't resist!)

Yeah, he does the intimate reworking thing REALLY well. Writer, performer, producer - he's a renaissance man and this version is beautiful.

Ha! Well, of COURSE I should drop the count in. I usually forget it's there, since...it's always there. "Mediocrity" is a good floor, but the ceiling is always higher, right? Even the best songs inspire better songs...
