"Need some opinions"

I think we're over taxed and over regulated.

 "Need some opinions"

I think we're over taxed and over regulated.

well, I hate to agree, but that is sooo true...
also, my legs are too short, and my head is too big... 

i do believe we are going to throw some harmony
on the tune as well as more lead vox trax will be recorded.
i will update this when that is done.

Hi Herb,

I'm completely out of touch with what is or isn't commercial these days but this is a very nice song and a great sounding production/mix.

Good luck with it...

Dan & Geeare1 : Thanks for popping in for a listen

Frank... we agree, this is a preliminary mix so we could listen and evaluate where we are in the process.  She will be recording some additional tracks soon. 

I think it sounds fantastic Herb.

I still yearn to hear some more emotion in the vocals.

Of course, if that's all here is left to make comment on... it means that everything else is so good that it just flows along like it's easy.


best regards,
mike

Thanks Mike...

In reference to the OP... the guy in Nashville made the comment that the singer needed to "sell the song" to the listener with emotion, and feeling.  That's the magic quality we are shooting for here. It was lacking in the first versions of this tune. 

I'm not as concerned about the mix as I am the emotional feeling side of the delivery.

Hi Herb,

I think your mix sounds great and is very "Nashville".  Country music is about the lyrics most often, and as such I do not find the vox too loud at all.  In fact, I wish she was a tad more compressed so I could get every detail out of her words.  Maybe it's just my system, but I lost intelligibility of a few words.

Good job my friend!

Tony.... hummmm... I'll look into that a bit when we add the rest of the vocal tracks into this. definitely gotta understand the words in a country song.  Its harder for me to hear that since I know the words.... but yeah, some singers will pronounce some words differently that make it a bit of a guessing game 

thanks

I like the new version better. The arrangement is more light spirited and rootsy. The singer is unsure sounding and has no emotion in her delivery. I'd have her work on it for a week or so and record a new vocal track. Adding harmonies in the song would be a huge plus too.
