Old Country Song - "Rosie Jones"

This is a cover I did of an old Buck Owens song.

Rosie Jones

Instrument list:
Session Drummer 3.
Fender San Miguel acoustic.
Squire P Bass.
Fender Strat w/EMG Gold pickups.
Guitar Rig Pro 4.
A brass slide and a 12" phillips for the percussion on the second half of the song.
Peavey condensor mic for acoustic and vocals.
No V-Vocal --- what ya hear is what ya get. :)

This is a song I did for an album I've been working on for quite a few years in my spare time called 'Songs My Mama Taught Me'.

Hope you ol' time country fella's enjoy it.

Comments good or bad are welcome.

 
Hi there Bub
 
This is excellent, and the mix and production are top notch
 
You've really got the country 'vibe' down to a tee - nice work my friend.

Thanks everyone for the great feedback. I was a little worried since this is the first real song I've posted.

Buck would be quite proud of that rendition, I'm sure.

You really nailed that classic country feel.

Bub


Thanks everyone for the great feedback. I was a little worried since this is the first real song I've posted.

 
Why not post a link in your signature Bub, and get some of them slobs in the Coffee House taking a listen
 
You could link direct to the song, or even better, a link to this thread.
 
You never know, it might change everything
 
 

 Awesome job Bub, love that tone on the tremolo guitar, great vox and harmonies

Hello Mr.bub,

Beautiful job.   Very nice singing and playing all around.   I like the mix a lot....it has an early 70s split style.  That's a million dollar voice.

Great job Bub. The recording has sort of an old school vibe to it. Nice choice of sounds and pickin.

Great job Bub.

I might adjust the vocal EQ a bit to bring you forward... I think the singing is solid and in tune just fine. The vocal's lower midrange seems a bit cloudy but I think the performance is there.

Sounds nice... how about a bit of upright piano... Ray Acuff old school style.

best regards,
mike

Sweet. 
needs backup singers.

Classic country in all regards.  The tones, the vocal, the mix are all superb.  A+

This had me humming along in no time. Really cool Bub!

Great old time country! Great Vocals! Very true to the genre, excellent.

Wow, Bub!  This is the best I've heard from you, IMO!

What I like:  vocals!  excellent!  harmonies are excellent lead is great! 
love the sound of the acoustic and slide - excellent recording. 

what I don't like:  (just MO, take it or leave it is fine)
I don't like the 12" phillips sound if that you're hitting in the left speaker.  it either doesn't ring enough or doesn't have enough presence or something - it sounds too much like "clicking" instead of a "diiiing"
I don't like the acoustic panned hard right and slide panned hard left - it leaves a vast open area and leaves a lot out when the slide is not playing, I feel lopsided then because the acoustic is still strumming away and there's a void in the left.

but those are mostly just my personal taste and overall the cover is excellent!

I agree. The vocals brought tears into my eyes . Excelent work my friend!!
