Vocals are always the most difficult to get right. Sorry, but at times they made me cringe. I can't really put my finger on it but it was either the mix or the tonality of the vocals. The Hawaiian guitar gave the song kind of a drunken sort of vibe to it. The little dinging noise was annoying, is it really needed? Overall though, it was better than the original instrumental.

Nicely done gang. Not my cuppa tea musically but it sounds lush and full, and Robby's voice is out front clearly where it should be. Musical bed is beautiful.

There's something odd happening at 1:17 though, sounds like a couple of syllables got chopped? Ah, it happens again later (2:52). I think there's a bad edit there, and it's been copied over.

Lovely sounding song, guys! Loved the pedal steel. Was that a sampled sound?

Ed & Robby,

Great job, guys. Robby could sing the names out of a phone book (if they still make phone books) and make it sound good.

Excellent job of editing and mixing, etc. Ed!

@Philz - thanks my friend

@CLEAN - thanks for stopping by

Very nice. Great job on the vox. Great job on the slide guitar - what did you use for it?

Nice job.... I loved the steel. Who did the steel? 

It has a kind of Maverick's sound and feel. The Mavericks tend to be one of my favorite bands that never really made it as big as they should have...... Desert Rose is another band that didn't get the acclaim they deserved for the talent they had.


The song is written well. 

kudo's to all involved. 

I listened over the weekend but wanted to let it stew in me for a while before listening again to confirm what I felt the first time.

I loved the intro so much. I like the chorus quite a bit.

But two things are bugging me: 
The snare drum is waaaay too snappy and punchy that it distracts and seems out of place with the rest of the instruments.

Robby's almost-instantaneous vibrato from the get-go on the first verse really made things seem old-fashioned, like Englebert-old fashioned, so not retro, but cornball. He's a much better singer with better sensibilities than that.

Robby, you handsome devil.


Hand some over to me, eh?
