I had this cranked as the intro was so gentle and the vocals came in as quite a shock...I then turned things down and started again...works perfectly at "reasonable" volume/levels.
The string squeak at 3.09 either adds authenticity or is annoying - depending on the listener.
It bothered me - but only for a moment.

Yet another sincere, relatable narrative - you do them really well and there's no sign of staleness or overwrought compensating - set to a succinct backing and communicated with THAT voice.

REALLY, really cool.


ray - thanks for the fine review! Much appreciated, of course. Sorry about the initial loud vocals smile For me, there is an appropriate level for an acoustic guitar. That generally is a lower volume than many folk mix to. That can cause that initial vocal burst. I hadn't noticed the squeak. It IS definitely noticeable (once pointed out).

And of course, well sung.

One of those writes that signals the "twist" far in advance, but it's still so sweet when it finally lands. laugh


David - thanks! Indeed, one of those I-saw-that-coming-from-a-mile-away lyrics. Spend any time writing in Nashville and you get that gotta-have-a-happy-ending ingrained in ya in a hurry (and after a while you might get a bit lazy about it). Waddya gonna do? smile smile wink
