Who is "Coffee House Collaborators"..?  

With the word "The" in the name there should be no doubt.

I love the original backing track but to be honest the vocal melody is just not there for me. I look forward to hearing how Robbie develops this a bit. It has promise; there are parts that fit in nicely.

The instrumental version is spot on.  I really love the production and wonderful pedal steel!  Really nice playing.  This really sounds good on my Equator D5 monitors.  The melody is beautiful.

The vocal version is really good too.  I think the mix was bigger sounding in the instrumental.  The pedal steel in the vocal version seems a little low.  Nice guitar touches too.

Overall, I think you guys to a great job and I love song.

Hi, Guys,
 
I remember loving this when Gary posted the original instrumental a while back, and this really sounds great too!
 
Excellent work by everyone involved.  My only very minor, teensy-weensy, micro-mini crit would be that cymbal bell, or bell sound during the verses that is panned off to the right side.  For me, personally, it was really distracting and pulled my focus off of the main verses of the song.  Maybe if it was mixed a little lower it wouldn't stick out so much.  But as always, that's subjective and just my personal observation, so take it with a grain of salt, as always!
 
Fantastic job, boys!

This is just a fantastic retro tune that you have made here. Extraordinary good instruments and wonderful vox that really speaks to my mind of music. Good work lads.

I should finish the redo for Ed tomorrow. He edited me pretty heavily and there are artifacts in his current version. I tried to recreate it the way he's hearing it (it wasn't easy!) The challenge as a singer vs. an instrumentalist is that you have to try to feel it to sing it, and our impression/versions of the song are actually pretty different? But with that aside, it's good practice to fit your square peg in to a round hole every now and then? :-) Oh I went there? I could have elaborated? :-D You're welcome! hahahaha.
