First off, I'd like to thank The Beagle (Reece Bain) whose idea it was to do a country version of this tune.  So, I replaced the synths with a banjo and pedal steel, and the electric guitars with acoustics... other than Danny's part which supplies the drive... came up with a new drum track and remixed a bunch of times.  This is what we came up with:

The players (other than myself) are:
Gregg Bolger- Vocals
Ed (Bapu) Kocol)- Bass
Danny Danzi- Rhythm Guitar
Scott (String Jammer) Campbell- Fiddle
Johnny Butten- Banjo
Bruce Hoffman- Pedal Steel
 
All comments welcome naturally, though favorable ones should come to me and unfavorable one should go to The Beagle 

Ha! That was awesome

Can't remember the last time I listened to a Country & Western song but I'm glad I listened to this. It works really well.

No nits or crits from me. Perfect in every way

HA!  blame the beagle!  it's ok!  I'm an old dog but I can take it!
 
Phil and friends, this is an EXCELLENT version!  love it!  I'm not a big country fan myself, but when I heard this song I thought a country version would be perfect for it!
 
great job everyone!

It does very much suit the Country treatment.
My only nit (and it did annoy me) is the drums sound very robotic and drum machine-like. With all the real musicianship going on, it really jumps out to me.

Well, you guys are really multi-talented - this is a great country tune. You guys are too much - love what you do.

Great tune well played and sung. Nice!

I went to your Soundcloud page. Was there a song there?    :)
 
I though the intro violin snippit could be louder. The song makes country just fine. Nice to write something that translates to another genre!
 
So you have "country" as a target, and this song hits the bullseye - at perhaps the cost of uniqueness. This sounds like a mainstream hit, which is waaaay cool, but another take might be a little more sloppy/roadhouse/Black Crowes southern rocky type feel. Perhaps that would be genre #3!!!  As an experiment, you might mute the banjo. Does that bring it a little farther south than Nashville?
 
That said, I'm more of a Dale Watson country aficionado, and I have never written a good country anything, so what the hell do I know?
 
cheers Phil, a very solid effort indeed. Radio-ready, as they say!

Country yes! But I hear just a tad of good ol rock when that rhythm guitar gets edgy. That's a good thing on my end. Nice picking on that banjo too. Vocals and harmonies are a perfect fit. Like the whole concept and arrangement. Great job!

Sounds like country to me but what would I know.  Thanks for sharing chaps.

 I found it a little too archetypal. Nevertheless, its first rate production-wise
