The year was 1986. An off-beat band called 'Daniel Amos' had some notoriety in the Christian 'New Wave/Alt Rock' genre/community. They definitely didn't 'play by the rules' (putting the name of Jesus in every song, making sure the Southern Baptist pastors like them, etc.). But then Terry Taylor - lead singer of the band and studio guy behind a lot of 80's Christian rock classics (like Randy Stonehill's 'Equator') shoots for this Phil Spector (God HELP his soul...) inspired/type sound and knocks it out of the park. Don't know if it became the hit it should have.
The song?
 
SOON. Here's our version: https://app.box.com/s/kk1ojtxvl44udha85xpj261k3fw02wdb
 
Anything anyone here think might be lacking? We'd love to hear. In mono, the vocals stick out nice and clear while in stereo, they do get absorbed somewhat. I don't mind in this instance. Thoughts? 
 
You can hear the original on the web here: https://youtu.be/QKDNCTdbk-k
 
Been a while, folks! Hope y'all are surviving the big nuttiness that is our world these days. 
 
Our love and our best to all,

An accurate cover to be sure. Personally, I like giving old songs new arrangements. For me, that's most of the fun. But I have met guys who really get a charge out seeing if they can make something just like the album it came from, so to each his own.
 
I was never a DA fan, but I really liked The Swirling Eddies.

Nicely done, but a bit Spector'ish ... But really, I don't think it's my ' I'm a fan ' sort of stuff ... but as Bill, said accurate, thankyou for the post

I like your version of Soon because I could hear the lyrics pretty well. Not so with the original.
Maybe a bit Spector-ish but that works for you since that wall of sound tends to boost the emotions.

The songs in this genre seem to be very melodic and well produced but I never could get into them.
Too wholesome or something.

Hey all. Thanks for the time y'all took to comment! Love the feedback. Was definitely going for the 'close to original' cut sound, so thanks for compliments in that regard. I'm gathering no issues re the balances of tone (kick/bass mids etc.) so great. Sorry it took a while to thank you for responding - was AFK (away from the keyboard/PC) for a holiday ... need that once in a while, don't we, huh?
 
God bless,
