You're just a song writing machine. And they're all fairly good.... (wink) ... including this one.
Nice work. Mix sounds good on this computer too.

Always enjoy your "standard fare".
Lovely memorable chorus, and lyric. Superb vocal as always, and thoughtful use of the backing, including the restrained guitar solo.
Enjoyed it all.

You are so productive and you are always delivering quality stuff. I enjoyed this song a lot. Are you always singing about the same woman? Or are there several you let walk away?  Mix and overall production is great as always! Thanks for sharing! Will

Floyd,
You say “standard fare” but that undersells what you do. Great write married to excellent vocal and production. Anything but standard this. Love that mandolin in the verses; really sets a nice base to the rhythm.
I’ve been seeing references to Helicon tracks on the board lately—not sure what they are, but if used to generate the harmonies they do an awful nice job. Nice touch mixing them in.
Real nice country. Enjoyed it!
All my best,
Deej

Excellent tune Floyd. Got a chuckle out of the title. Had to think about it for a second lol. Very cool vocal and lyric. As always perfect production. Well done

Another outstanding offer. Great hook line. Good country song titles (at least the classic variety like this) are a bit of word games. This one nailed it. Great instrumentation. Lyrics told the story well. Excellent country vocals. No nits here. Nice work.

Hi Floyd
If by 'standard fare' you mean good enough to become a standard, than I agree. Top quality as usual.

Leon

How did you get that pizzicato sounding rhythm that starts the tune off? Was that a loop? Whatever it was, I loved that. I actually opened up BIAB and checked RT 1755 mandolin to see if that was it and I don't think so? Anyway, another of your terrific sessions done so effortlessly, high quality work as always. Great lyrics.

That's one well textured arrangement.
Jim Beam as a verb is new to me but an instance communication too.
Lovely melody, lovely vocal performance...standard fare when standard is a rare and joyous thing perhaps.

Hi Floyd ...
Well, it might be "standard fare" for you. For the rest of us, it would be like hitting a game-winning home run in the bottom of the 9th with two out. Can't say that I've ever come across "weekend" as a verb ... nice call!
Love the mandolin track ... it seems to energize everything else and give it all a path to follow. Your mixes are always spot on, great "bands", super arrangements, and fantastic delivery. The only thing I don't like about it is that I didn't write it.
Not only are your vocals excellent ... they're also very distinctive and have your personal trademark all over them. After but a word or two, there's no doubt who's singing. You do, indeed, set the bar for the rest of us.
Take care and be safe ...
Alan

Man, I just love listening to your mixes! Just a pleasure through both the 'phones and the KRK's. Drums sounds great, loops I guess, heck, everything sounds great. I like the "weekend her off my mind" concept, especially liked the "friday i'm gonna jim beam 'til i'm blind" line. Been there, done that, and for the same reason. Not recently mind you  Good one floyd, as per usual. Enjoyed several listens.

Dang - fantastic work here - as it has been mentioned, you knocked it outta the park with the mix. Loved the vocals and the instrumentation is on point. Wouldn't change a thing! Thanks for sharing

Thanks for the comments, Peter. BIAB almost always impresses me with its choices of solo guitars. Having done 200+ productions there has only been a handful of times that I could not find something that I thought fit and worked well...

Floyd,
Simply superb arrangement and production of a good , nicely quirky write.
Listening to verse 1, I thought " oh,its a list song", but you got the days of the week done and really floored me with that Jim Beam line.
Your vocals are a textbook example of good performance captured, professionally processed and tastefully harmonised.
Excellent!
Robert

Hi Floyd,
Wow, this is such a catchy and appealing sounding song. The cadence at first reminds me of Mary Chapin Carpenter's "Passionate Kisses".
The instruments all flow and blend seamlessly. Good write , consummate professional vocals and harmonies.
If you plan on making another CD to sell on Amazon, I would highly recommend you ad this song to your playlist!

Hello Floyd, What more can be said here, you just keep churning them out each as good if not better than the last. When listening I just hear little things that add to your song, which makes it sound such a pro production. A good write and production. No doubt your next one will be just as good as well

All my best,
Deej Thanks, Deej. The "Helicon tracks" are harmonies generated by the TC Helicon harmony plugin that comes with BIAB. It is easiest to do that by opening RealBand and loading your SGU and your vocal (typically out of your DAW where it is recorded) and have the plugin create the harmony track based on "follow the chord". There are several different combinations. I find the the 1 UP and 1 DOWN work for me (but you still have to use them judiciously to get them to "sound real"). I wrote up a full instruction at one point (in Tips, maybe. I think Noel wrote one up, too)

Hi Floyd,
I liked those choruses a lot!
The song is very cool, powerful but also sensitive.
All instruments sound so very bright, as if you're standing next to them.
But that's always the case in your songs. Constant quality!
I envy that a little, but it's also good to realize it is achievable without jumping into expensive studios.
Have a nice day,
Hans
