Super country song
Great vocal and mix
Country music at its best!

Wow, that's a cookin' tune! Love everything about this one, but especially your vocals. This is such a great sing-a-long type song, you might consider layering more vocals on the chorus in the 2nd half to encourage participation. I know I'll be singing either way. Ha! Merry Christmas!

Ha! Solid setup right into the chorus and finally the payoff with the hook.

Catchy and fun country. laugh

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

Catchy and clever write, Dewey. Reminds me breaking up before Christmas and getting back together after Valentine Day. Fun band and good vocal that tells the story in a happy way. Nice vocal range. Good song!!


Enjoy whatever happens!

Dewey,

"..seven days of sweat and blood made out in my name"

"The timing of her stomping on my heart was rather civil
Maybe there was still a part of her that cared for me a little"

Lines to be proud of. Original.

A very good write start to finish.

An appropriate backing.

Confederate Railroad could have taken this to the top...

DC Ron,

I took your advice and added harmony to the chorus; however, I added it to predominantly the whole chorus. To your point, I think it adds a lot and may encourage participatory singing! LOL Thanks for the ear and good comments!

Great write ... nice twists on the broken heart theme. Creative and fun.
Fine vocals, BiaB session folks and mix.

Cool to hear an excellent classic sounding country tune!

Good stuff Dewey. I echo what Floyd had to say about those lines, they really jumped out at me too. Cool steel throughout, though I thought it could have been a little louder in a few places, and maybe the lead vocal as well, but then again I'm kind of partial to them both.
