At last, a country song that I like. The production is spot on for this song, and the vocal performance was very well done. I've yet to hear a bad mix from you; I wish I had your ears.

Good job on this one Scotty. Actually gave me a bit of a grateful dead vibe.

Love it Scotty. I think it's a hit. But, I don't listen to the radio much.

Thanks for the warning, Scotty  I listened anyway. While current country music sort of sets my teeth on edge, I do enjoy that classic country swing. Perhaps reminiscent of the Grateful Dead, but probably because they borrowed so much from this style. Very old school. A tasty performance, and nicely mixed.

Well hot grannies -- a tear in your beer country song. I love the retro feel to this number! Great lead work and it has that country rhythm carrying it along all the way. Oh ya --- great production also!!

Radio,
Thanks buddy! Billy does a fine job on vox for sure. I try to keep my reverb subtle in most mixes, but it depends upon the type of song. Lynn,
Thank you very much! I wish I had my ears some days too. Robby,
Thank you so much for listening. Glad you liked it. Tim,
Thanks! I hope it will be a hit some day for Billy's sake. I don't listen to the radio much either. RobertB,
Thank you for your nice critique. Freddy,
Thanks! I appreciate that you appreciate this kind of stuff. Frank,
Thank you very much! My squashed guitar is still in recovery after spending a few days in ICU.

A great song with that golden touch that only you have. I love ballads like this (OK, showing my age again!) and this is as good as they get. Priceless!

Classic country sound. I grew up on this. Great tones. Great vocals. Love the guitar.
Love the piano, but it's a tad to fortissimo on my left channel.... just a touch. I could use a little more volume on the harmony vox.
Honky Tonk Heaven. Catchy hook. Love it!

Nice! I do like the old Classic Country sound.
Travis Tritt or Dwight Yoakam would like this.
They still roll old school.

Markybro,
Thank you very much! You're way too kind.
Daryl,
Thank you for you ears. I value your opinion so I listened on my 5.1 system and I found that the harmony vox were right where they belong; in the background slightly below the lead vocal. Could be the system helping to spread them out a bit.
Rimshot,
Thank you very much! I'm happy that we fit itnto your world. Thanks for giving this one a spin!
Thatsastrat,
Thank you for listening! I'm glad that so many folks enjoy this old style. (Believe it or not, I never cared for it)

Cool... I can see the dance floor packing out.... nothing gets them on the floor like a country 2 step.
Good song.... my only crit, I'd bump the vox a few db higher. Think about how Merle Haggard would have sung this..... you would be able to hear him..... I felt the vox was just too far back in the mix.
Aside from that..... good old country song.

Well you did warn us, but I listened anyway !
Bit too country for my tastes, as I suspected it almost certainly be after the warning, but hey, you're always good value for sound quality, so always something to be learned. Best thing I can say is that you all make it sound effortless which I always think is the mark of someone who knows what they're doing.

The Total Package.
The Lead Vox could stand to come up about 1db, IMO.
