Your vocal reminded me a bit of Hank Locklin. That, too, is not a bad thing!

Yes, the drums are a bit busy, but it didn't bother me. Gives it a bit of a unique twist for the genre. Loved it!

Best to you ...

Thanks Alan...

Hank Locklin...

Good song, Jim! Nice lyric and I like your vocal as always.

I hear the drum thing that some mentioned, it sounds like a double hit on the kick drum. I've had that problem myself from time to time with realdrums, it's as if when the track is looped sometimes the kick at the beginning doesn't line up properly with the kick at the end so you get the double kick, one a fraction of a second after the other. If that is the problem you should be able to see it in your DAW if you zoom in on the drum track. Only way to fix as far as I know is to cut and paste a good kick into the part that has the problem.

Having said all that it didn't take away from my enjoyment of your song smile

Jim,

You have a knack for the classic sounding melody and your vocals have a sincere feel that can`t be faked!
I like the lyrics too- soothing as they should be.
As I was listening and enjoying,I thought I heard what Roy Orbison might do with a song like this- its that good a song.

Thanks James...
You're making the buttons pop off my shirt grin...
Initially I had a simple bass snare beat on the drums...
But each time I listened to that version...
I kept hearing the beats I finally gave up...
And added to the finished song.

For the sake of making our songs better, I searched for something for you to improve. Couldn't find any...
Liked it much,

Hans

Thanks Hans...
I kind compliments & support always raise my spirits...

Some mentiioned the drums - well, maybe it's not typical for country (you know I' anything but an expert in that field), but I seem to like them that way.

And I've discovered my love for the steel in general, so I liked it a lot in your song, too.

Very, very nice, Jim.

Take care,


Stefan

Thanks Stefan...
For your wonderful comments & support...
BTW...
I am eagerly waiting for your next production!

I glad you enjoyed the listen even with the drum anomaly...
Your guess is pretty good...
But not for this situation...
However I'll save the answer & give others a chance to guess.

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."
