Dena Porras (Venus) and Will Stratton wrote this country rocker.  For a couple years I was fortunate enough to work with these two and was involved in some great musical projects.  Dena is one of my favorite female vocalists and writers of all time and Will is a great writer, player and producer.  If I'm not mistaken, Will produced this one from his tent in a war zone in Afghanistan.  You gotta love it!  Herb Hartley is the fiddler on this tune and he sure was fiddlin' around.  I sure hope you enjoy it.
(BTW, a new Pugtones tune is on the way soon.)

Thanks Warren... great song... I loved working on that song with them.  Yes... all you said is true...very talented pair and fun to work with.
 
This is the first time I've heard this song in it's finished form.

Nice mix!

Nothing like a little Jack to take the edge off the day.

Herb- The mp3 is on the way.  That's all I have, I think.  Will usually sent a different format, Apple? Duh, I'll check.  I have to convert them so it could be a higher quality.  
 
Travis- Will has skill!  Thanks.
 
Wookie- That stuff will remove some fur! 

wow...this is a killer tune!! very powerful and loads of energy! I think the mix is very well done but as with all things....when I make a pizza I put what I like on it and so in that sense I think I would take a bit of grittiness of the main vox and add a light touch of verb....I'd pull up the bvox (which I really was digging)...the kit/bass seemed to be on the pocket as well and I would have liked to hear super Herbs fiddle centered and pulled up from for at least a few bars to get the full limelight....but again....we all cook to taste and this is really one great tune!!
 
 
A++

what a fun tune!
 
it's a real basic arrangement that works.
great performances that shine thru when i can hear them......
 
i have some mix issues, background vox are too light, lead vox is too hot, and the bass guitar needs some 'clarifyin' of some sort....
it's a little muddy, but not woofy......
a lot of the fiddle licks are just lost...
 
my guess is, you'd have to do fader rides between when you want the lead and backup vox to be more upfront, and bring those down when you want the fiddle riffs to stand out..
or, panning just during those sections might help....
 
but whatever it is to dial in the mix, the song and performances are there.
nice job.
 

The vox are definitely out front. I would like like to hear the fiddles a little better, they seem a bit in the background, but I don't know Jack. I don't know how to get my Jack on? However I have been known to... Well, I'll just self edit that one. 
 
Good job though.
 
H-

You guys are good!  Thanks for letting me know about this one, Warren!  All the best to all of you! :)

I remember this one - this is some seriously good music - all the musicians on this one are top-notch. Very cool tune.
