Fall Back in Love

Herb,
 
I like it.    Your guitar fills are really nice as is the backing track as a whole.   I would like to hear the bass a bit more but otherwise no crits.   You could add some more harmonies on the chorus, maybe?   Well done.
 
Regards

Wow, you really stepped out of your comfort zone on this one Herb. 
 
Sounded good. I hope you were rocking a look like this?

In honor of the creative risks taken here, I think I'll do a soft/pop rock cover from the 60s/70s (range!) Just pulling your leg Herb? I hope you know that. I was practicing my bass this evening and this was a nice break from it.
 

Great song, Herb! The song has a Willie Nelson vibe to it.
The mix sounds perfect to me. The drums sound wonderfully crisp and clear. Nice heart-felt guitar work. 

Hi Herb, 
your song sounds very professional in all the areas that count the most  
Vox, guitar tones , mix , playing , song structure …all good ...
I enjoyed listening very much  
I think the simplest thing you can do to improve your song would be to add a little more silence before the song starts 
it jumps in at less than a second after hitting play

OK... let me see if I can respond to all these comments
 
Markno999: bass, what are you listening on since I have plenty of bass not only in the studio but on the mp3 player as well.
 
teego: thanks.... as far as todays standards.... this song isn't even in the running. It's not contemporary sounding enough. Unless it was co-written with a N-town star, and it wasn't, it will never make it past the guardians of the gates.
 
Robby: yeah I just need to break out of the box every so often..... all that hip-hop and rap stuff I write .... I need a break with some country every now and then.   ;-) thanks for the listen... you know you loved it. BTW, I don't have sufficient hair for that pompadour look thing.....
 
Mike: glad you enjoyed it
 
Scotty: yeah, that Willie thing, I really am not trying to do that....clear and crisp is what I am trying to achieve. Thanks
 
Schafe:  On intros..... I try to shoot for a short intro. Not to exceed 13 seconds max where possible. Some I do ease in with the music and others...this one, .......1,2,3,4 lets go...!!  Thanks
 
Kenny: I do the same thing with every song.... I trim the count in off, after the last drumstick tick..... then I add 500 milliseconds (1/2 a second) of silence at the start. So you are correct when you said it starts in less than a second after hitting play. All my tunes follow this rule. On a CD, if I burned CD's, there is 2 seconds between tracks so I want the tune to start as relatively immediately as possible after the beginning of the wave. I send tunes to libraries for TV and film and they want the song to start quickly.  I'm glad you enjoyed the tune in spite of the quick startup.
 
Mike: It's the tele on the POD with a black panel fender dialed up. Also my Taylor acoustic is in the mix.
 
Thanks to all for listening and commenting.

Very nice production enjoyed the whole thing nicely played, captured and presented.
 
I do agree that by modern standards there is to much reverb on the vox but do I care, no.
 
Thanks for sharing Herb

Herb, I like the way this is mixed and arranged.  Your voice sounds like gold, and the guitars are so very tasty.  Lately, I've become a fan of reverb again after some years, and that may be because reverbs are getting better all the time.  I like your use of one on this production, as it gives depth to the sound stage (which is becoming something of a lost art these days).  Congratulations on a job well done.

A very nice song Herb. I'm just a sucker for that feel. Who cares if it sounds "dated", it's about the emotion it creates. Loved it.

Wow, nice song and great arrangement - sounds just right for the style.   And +1 to the vocal and guitar comments.  Good stuff.   Is that a "real" pedal steel?
 
Oh... and +1 to the Willy vibe - not so much in production values but the performance.
 

Vocal sounds too far out in front. Sounds like Willie Nelson's cousin though so...

Man, I thought I was listening to Willy for a minute.  Good, comfortable song, Herb.  I really enjoyed the listen.  Ok, makes me want to revisit the song we wrote "Daydream".  Time for it to live, I think.  

hey Herb - really nice work on this!  mix is really good, except in my opinion you have it slammed a little hard on the compression/limiting on the master for this type of music.
 
good balance of the instruments, tho.  great guitar work and vox. 
 
my guess is that the steel is BIAB and the guitar is you.  what other instruments did you play?

     Excellent!!!!! I'm listening to this on a different PC than I normally do, so the speaker system isn't that great. Although I must say it sounds excellent on this weaker speaker system setup. 
 
I like your music Herb, your voice has grown on me over the years, not to mention I have always really enjoyed hearing your songs and songwriting style, but I have to mention how your voice has improved so much. It reminds me of Mickey Gilley if I were to pick one artist as a comparison, and I mean that as a compliment and hope you don't take that in a bad way at all. I mean that as a compliment, there are few country artist I like to hear and Mickey Gilley is one of them.  
 
It's been a few years Herb since I've heard your music man, WOW YOU HAVE MADE SERIOUS STRIDES IN SO MANY WAYS!!!!!!!!!!!! But I've gotta say man, you've nailed it on the mixing stuff, you've always had it together on the music side of playing in my opinion, but your mixing has gotten so much better, I hope I can do so well in the future. 
 
GREAT TUNE MAN!!!!!!! I enjoyed hearing this very much!!!!! 
 
 
Excellent man!!!!!!!!!!

Nice job Herb. I think you reached clean and crisp. I enjoyed the song, never thought much about if the verb was a fit or not. Great guitar playing.

Very nice song Herb. Nice instrumentation and vocals and the mix is perfect. Great work as always.
 
Peace and Blessings, John
