Land At Last

Great performances and melodies with real instruments. Nice!

Thanks guys. I have some ideas along that line. I'll see what I can come up with.

Ah, there's me old pal Larry, that unmistakeable acoustic tone. Very nice collab chaps. I preferred the lilting waltz of the second section section to the diddly-dee opening but it all holds together as a concept.

lovely Tim and Larry - I could see myself sat on the harbour wall in Cornwall - probably eating fish and chips - sigh, I miss England.
Definitely a nautical feel and you both compliment each other's styles perfectly

kakku- Thanks!
 
Dan- I took your advice and added a more ethereal under pinning. I changed the intro and outro. I also added a bridge part made of accordion and lyre. Hope this is better! 
 
Wookie- Thank you!
 
James- Yes it is quite a contrast. Hopefully the changed bridge will make it more seamless.
 
Mark- Thank you!
 
Daryl- Now I'm hungry :) Thanks for commenting. I hope that one day I can see England.
 
FreddyJ- Yes I think this was Larry's idea. He had wanted to have a raft for his pic...like a castaway who found land. He did use a raft on his soundcloud site. I think it's a great Idea but I couldn't find a pic I liked.Thanks!
 
 
 
 
 

Thanks Marko999. That's a very nice whistle there. I have a few whistles but nothing that sounds quite like that.

I played backup in the first half of the song on my Martin acoustic with Larry playing his Taylor.Those Taylors are designed to project...my Martin has a nice sound but it can't project like that Taylor, so I had a challenge to try and keep a balance there. In addition Larry used some great punchy pre amps. Even so, I had to use a dynamic EQ to keep my low mids being too loud. The track Larry sent already had a great balance to it.
 
In the second half I played the leads because Larry played more into his bass ranges. If you listen you can hear that my guitar doesn't quite have the mojo that his does :)
 
I also played some bouzouki for rhythm but I kept it low in this mix or it would have been over bearing.

Hello Sir, The thing I like most about this song is the way it feels alive. 
 
That change at 2:00 is very interesting. 
 
I can't disagree with what anyone else has said, I wish you could get the Poozies to sing on this, that would be cool.
 
The fade out at the end is nice.
 
Good playing, I liked it.  I felt like I was at a local pub, in a dark corner, dreaming of far away truths.

I like. The bass could have been a tad more present IMO.
