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.

When you get back online I hope you'll listen to the re-tracked vox.

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

Thanks Scotty. Gary will have to answer the question about the pedal steel. My bass was real though.

It's a real steel guitar.

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

Gary will have to answer that. I only mixed his instruments.

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.

Herb, Gary did all the instruments, so he is the one who deserves kudos on the guitars.

Interesting tune. Reminds me of something from Lindsey Buckingham's first solo album, which was a throwback to some older sounds. The phrasings feel a little off in spots, but maybe the second melody version will take care of some of that. A very relaxing song, though.

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.

I think in the retracked vocals done around the 17th of Feb may have cleaned up the vibrato James.

Thanks for the other comments.
