Hi,

This is a blues rock tune played mostly on a lap steel.  If you've got time please check it out.  If you've got even more time please leave a comment or suggestion.

Thanks!

Sounds quite good here, I would like to hear the guitar a bit more when the band are playing, other than that it sounds accomplished and production is polished.

Thanks for sharing 

Hi Gary, great stuff as allways, I also think the lap steel could be a bit louder. Somehow makes me think of the Miami Vice theme tune.

Aww man, Gary that intro made me smile ear to ear, what a great, greasy tone. Not so keen on the horns, they seem way too loud to me. Wonderful phrasing on that guitar though, love it.

Very, very nice.  You did a great job on the arrangement.  Bravo.

The brass band really nailed it for me - what gear is it?

Sounds good Gary, to me the brass stepped on your awesome slide work a little. Not sure if you could help that with some panning.

I love it... that is some fine slidin' Gary... Love the horns too... Did you play the parts from a keyboard, or did you edit & arrange sampled phrase loops..? whatever you did, worked very well...

Gary, very nice. The horns are good; just too out front for me.

Wookiee:  Hi John, thanks for listening, glad you liked it!

Rikkie: Hi Rik, how have you been? Great to hear from you. I appreciate the listen and suggestion about the steel volume. I will probably raise the steel volume or lower the horn volume at some point.

james1213: Hi James. Thanks for listening and commenting. The general consensus seems to be that the horns are too loud so I'll have to go back and work on that. Thanks again.

Lynn: Hi Lynn, thanks for listening and for the kind words.

eko: Hi, thanks for listening. Glad you liked the tune. I used Kontact Sax and Brass samples for the horns.

The Band19: Hi Robby, how are you? Yea, the slide stuff was kind of an afterthought to the horn arrangement so they do get in each other's way...the horns are already panned hard left (trumpets) and hard right (sax & trombone) so I don't think there's much I can do panning-wise. Although when I listen to it it sounds like the slide is stepping on the horns  Thanks for listening and for your suggestions. Great to hear from you.


notnat: Hi Frank, how have you been? Thanks for checking it out. Glad you liked the tune. I played the horn parts on a keyboard but slowed the tempo down quite a bit in some sections.

bapu: Hi Ed. Thanks for listening. I appreciate the comment about the horn volume and will go back and make some adjustments.
