an unabashed love song.

this is off the new Bats Brew album "Trouble"
all acoustic with electric bass, played on a Taylor 414, miced with combinations of ADK Hamburg, Audio Tecnica AT4033, and shure sm57.

I remember this song playing(quite a few years ago) ,talking to you and accusing you of being someone famous hiding behind your pseudonym.  After visiting your home a couple years ago and playing in your studio I realize you could be whatever you want musically.  This is a beautiful song and you are a GREAT musician.  I am honored to be your friend, Rob!

You are as constant wonder Bat always a pleasure to hear your stuff, beautiful playing, writing and production.

wow warren.
you humble me.
 

Great guitar work as always, Bats. It's a nice song, well mixed. Kinda gives me an old Yes vibe. Nice job!

hey lead,
glad you dig this guitar stuff....
 
i really like the acoustic stuff, but most of the time folks want to hear the rowdy stuff!!
they ask for it by name:
 
"please sir, wont you play the rowdy stuff instead?!"
 

bumpin' the pure acoustic stuff...
cuz i don't have that much of it!
LOL

Bat,
 
Nice one, definitely reminds me of early Yes.    Especially like the acoustic guitar, but the vocals are outstanding as well.    Easy listening at its' best.
 
Regards

Yes sir, very good stuff indeed. I like variety and this track fits very nicely on the whole album.
As always Bat, good quality music.
 
Did you use the AT4033 for vox too?
(I also have that mic and only use it to record my little ones singing....)
