This one has been setting on the back burner since the summer.  Essentially an experiment in minimalist songwriting. A bit of  influence by The Mavericks.... a country band from a few years back

Heaven's Angel
 
Six days since I saw her seems like eternity
I can't wait to hold her hand let her kisses set me free

Her smile kept me going, Teasing, in my dreams
When I stand beside her, moonlight magic on the breeze

Soon my waiting will be over
And I will see her once again
Standing silent in the moonlight
Heaven's angel waits for me

Gold ring, in my pocket Giving her my best
On bended knee before her, I pray to God that she says yes

Bass, and more importantly, the kick could come up a bit. The mix is pretty bright and feels like the bottom is, more or less, missing.
 
Haven't heard a country song with accordion since I left Texas years (almost 30 years) ago, so this has a very retro feel, to me anyway.
 
Lead vocal is framed nicely by all of the other elements. BGV could stand to come up just a little. Very clean and open mix overall.
 
Nicely done Herb!
 
Regards,
Dan
 
 

Herb,
 
Sounds like a mix of the Mavericks and JD Souther:)   Very good song and overall performance.  I agree with Dan that it seems bright and lacking some bottom end..... like HPF is setting too high.   Otherwise, the mix is good.   Had a couple listens.....excellent song...
 
Regards 

Nice song, Herb!
Are you planning to post the Best Christmas?
 

Nice one Herb.
 
Bass needs more tonal definition IMO. Like Dan said the drums seem lost in the mix.
 
Good song. I do like the accordion.

Herb, I like it.
But, I keep hearing a walking bass line al la Mavericks.
Just saying.
 

Very good.... Thanks for the comments and crits. Seems I should probably have a look at the bass and low end kick and examine those issues in a bit more detail.
 
 

Nice song! 
 
Overall it reminds me a bit of 70's era Eagles, well, except for the accordion.  But that really works well.
 
Mix-wise it's all been covered so nothing to add there.. the balance is good IMO.
 

Great guitar playing (as always).   Your vocals almost sound like Willie to me on this one.  The accordion was the cherry on top of this tune .... Reminds me of the live version of Bad Weather by Poco. The Bass sounds fine, but I'm guitarist as well. A little more kick might be the ticket.
 
 

I am listening to Christmas tunes this morn and hit on this one.  After all, Angels are a big part of Christmas.   This is like a lot of your tunes, they just get in your head, like a lot of country/western music.  We have had many discussions over the years about how you mix your tunes.  They always sound professionally done but a bit "thin" to me.  It's not a crit as much as an observation.  The song and the production is beautiful and I could use a couple angels if you could send them this way.  Maybe they could help with that song we are writing, FOR TWO OR THREE YEARS.  It'll get there.  This year I'm thinking!  Merry Christmas, buddy.
