Great country song. You have a super voice. The backing track and mix were spot on.

Hello Reno,

A straight going very nice song with good vocal harmonies.
A nice band with that steel guitar.

I read why you chose the word 'wheel', but 'merry-go-round' was another option. Or is this no proper American word ;-) ?

I liked it!

There're a couple of spots where the "old man whistle" appears and it becomes accentuated by the processing.
You can manage that with a de-esser or, better still, some manual level control BEFORE the effects kick in.
You've assembled a nice band.
It'd be cool to know what style, what instruments and what processing you used to carry your good narrative.
The song does need something to end with - a modulation, a tempo change - something.

Life is Like a Wheel indeed...it's also a case of swings n roundabouts.
Unfortunately I won't be listening to your other tracks as there're lots of folk who post on the forum but get pushed off the 1st page when someone posts multiple tracks in a short period of time. I'll have to go to the "back pages" to dig them up & listen/comment.
You'll have noted that several forum members have commented. It's not required, or even expected in this day n age, that folk reciprocate but it's nice when they do.
No, I don't want you to listen to my stuff, but dig through some of the posts from other folk and give them a boost perhaps.

Looks like I missed this the first time around.

Looks like - sort of like that wheel you're singing about - it came around again. wink

Pleasant song - easygoing, good fit for the song. Nice harmonies, too. smile

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
