It's been a while since I posted a new song here. This one is about new romance with a country/folk feel.

Jimmy, this is a terrific song!  I love the vocals and lyrics, which, combined with this infectious melody make this a hit.  The overall production is very smooth and balanced.  The only thing that stood out to me was that the bass sounds a bit MIDIesque.  But, that's not a biggie, and if you like it, then it's good to go.  Congrats!

Hi Lynn.  Thanks so much for the listen. 
The bass is actually a sample loop of an upright with chorus on it. I only cut the very bottom off around 30Hz and left the rest alone.  
In fact, the fiddle, acoustic, bass, and synth bell part were all samples! I had fun using them. I normally don't use sample loops like that but hey, it's 2015!

Great tune, Jimmy, and an outstanding job on the recording of it.  Blew me away.  Maybe would like the vocal up just a smidge more... other than that, she's a winner!

Thank you Phil! It's great that you liked it. I struggled a bit with the lead vocal and finished the mix thinking it was too loud! A smidge might be .5 db at the most?

Super job!  Bring those vocals up...don't be shy.  And maybe crank the drums up a bit as well.  Moves right along:-)

Thanks much yorolpal for the nice words. Not shy and I will let this sit for a day or two and then see where those vocals and drums sit once I get away from it. 3 day weekend coming up! Thanks again for your feedback.

Vocals up, and boy I'd sure find another bass patch or a  more driving bass line to fit this really awesome song. A good bass player could have a field day on this one.
 
Again, a really great song - the melody fits all the accompaniment perfectly.
 
cheers,
-Tom

Thank you Tom. Looks like vocals up! Will note the bass part but I really grew to like the one I used for this song because it is different. I might try a live bass on it to see the difference. 
And thanks for the nice comments on the song - it puts a smile on my face.

excellent Jimmy - I really like this and it sounds totally current - up the vocals a gnat's whisker and it's radio ready IMO
