Deere Tractor (w/ more Mandolin)

Hey, this is a different tune for you.  Man, I like it!  It's my wife's birthday so I have to go out.  I saw this as I was logging off.  Had to listen before we left.  Man, Frank, your changes are so good.  Your voice really sounds good on this.  I have no mix suggestions because it sounds great to me, like all of yours.  Instrumentally  another hit!   Wife waving at me, gotta go.  I love the changes in this.  The outro is phenomenal.  Later, buddy!

It does'nt sound like you need any help with the mix Frank as it sounds fantastic, well to my ears anyway.

The guitars sound incredible and your slide playing is as impressive as ever.  I have to admit this is'nt really my sort of music, but that does'nt prevent me from realising what a superb piece of work this is.  Good one Frank.

Very cool. I am wondering about bringing that mandolin up a bit during the instrumental parts later in in the song (seems OK in the early going), and agree that the kick is a little bit thumpy for this genre.

Nicely done!

Hi, Frank, this is pure country dynamite with a nice clean, full mix!  Great playing and vocals, as always.  I agree with Scotty and Tombo, I’d Bump up the mandolin a Db or 2.
 
Excellent song!

Love the intro. Nice play on words. I'm not sure if it's the slide, but I swear I could hear some fiddling at times. Excellent overall vibe. I guess this would be considered "popular country"?. I know you specified "Alternative country" but this is real easy listening. As stated above, the mandolin could come up a tad. Excellent playing btw. Excellent mix. Excellent production.

You THE man Frank.

Frank, this is really great - a nice change from you - very entertertaining.

Very cool.

Much better!!!!! I love the new mix!!!!!!!!!

This is excellent - love the vocals and lyrics

Nice clear mix and brilliant instrumentation.

Dang Frank!  I'm currently in the market for a mandolin, I haven't had one in 30 years and now I'm hot for one.

You have more instruments that one man deserves!, Except for you... and me of course!

I like this a bunch, I knew I would.  I love the chords in the verse!
Cute lyrics too.

How did you record the mandolin? mic? what kind?  What mandolin do you have.  Sorry I'm currently shopping!

Great song, Frank. Love the lyrics. Man, there are almost too many great performances here...mandolin (great playing), dobro (love that sort of trill thing you do in the intro), slide guitar, steel guitar, harp, and your vocal, of course. Outstanding production/mix.  Excellent.

Frank - did you add melodyne to your voice?

The mix is very good. You seem to have really gotten the knack of it. I recall the earlier version of this.

I've checked out your collection, that's what I mean.  I think the guitar police need to pay you a visit.  No one should have that many cool instruments if for no other reason than it makes guys like me feel inadequate.  I'm feeling really small here Frank.

Like an idiot I sold all my vintage guitars over the years before they were worth the small fortune they are today.  My 52 Les Paul, the early Fender Esquire, the 65 Strat, the Melody Makers, the 54  Telecaster, The Ventures Mosrite, the Firebird 12 string (one of 272) the ES-150, the SG Custom, the 64 ES335, the 67 Epi Riviara... you get the idea.  

That's why when I see your stash, I feel like such a failure.  Your what my daughter would call a DREAMCRUSHER.

But other than that... Way Cool Man!!
