I'd opt for a warmer mix sound, but I LOVE the arrangement.  The plastic sounding kick drum sounds especially out of place in this style of music.  I think a dull thud type of kick would fit better.  

Merry Christmas!

Plastic sounding kick? Heck, that was me tapping on a bottle cap!

LOL @ bottle cap! Loved this Scotty! Reminds me of the great Christmas's I had with my mom...she loved singing this song to me. Great job on this....man those fiddles sound sweet. The little downward run in the melody section was awesome! Love the guitar sounds on this and the vocal is perfect! Drums on a tune like this (in my opinion) are subjective as most of the older stuff in this genre, the drums were sort of there filling things in without being too dominant. The end was great too! Awesome job! :)

Nicely done Scotty. Feel very homey and welcoming. This is entirely a matter of taste, but (don't kill me, Danny, please ) I would go a tad wetter on the lead vox. Enjoying the following tune too. Ha! Now this is fun. (I wish soundcloud would tell us what is playing next, as I have no idea what this tune is called).

Robby,
Thank you! I appreciate you saying that.

Daryl1968,
Thanks! I even surprised myself with some of the guitar work. LOL

Danny,
Thank you so much! I'm glad it struck a chord with you. The guitar is a Taylor 610 maple that rings out loud and clear so it records well with very little tweaking if any. Buffer wanted to end it in the traditional manner but I convinced him to do a modulative ending. Glad you liked that too. The fiddles were a MIDI program that I dug out of the closet.......KIDDING! I'm happy to hear that they sounded good to you. As for the drums...I think I was going for a modern country sound but the rest was more old fashioned so I ended up with a mismatch. The song is a track from a seven song album that we put together for charity and the album has made lots of money for a local food shelf. That in itself makes me very happy. Thanks again for your time and kind words, bro!

Foxwolfen,
Thank you very much! I appreciate your suggestion, however it's already in circulation on an album so a little too late for tweaks now. I couldn't tell you what tune you heard afterward, as it changes with every click of the link.
