Lots of really cool sounds going on in the production. And my shucks what a great sound on your vocals!

What was your vocal chain on this one?


Josie - nice to have you drop by! The vocal chain - Studio One Pro effects... EQ > Compressor > Analog Delay > Room Reverb and then a Nectar preset - Nectar Country....

You said what you wanted to say-your way. In the end that’s what we all do. It seems to me that writing specifically for the commercial market limits the truly creative process. This is one that is way up your list of great songs. Great use of the steel, especially that repeating line when it first appears. The guitar comes in just right and loud like we like it. A really cool write,performance and production. Merry Christmas to you and yours, Tom


Tom - I always enjoy hearing your comments on the thing I do - these were especially nice ones - Thanks! Not sure why the vocals seem to "hit the mark" on this... I can never seem to get the exact same sound when I try to duplicate aany set of effects...
