This sounds great. The vocal is a little loud for my tastes, though. Harmony would definitely have this ready for the radio. Very pretty melody. Only listened to the 2nd version.

Herb I haven't heard the other version you talk about but this is really nice a sort of that's how a country song should sound. In my opinion though I think the beautiful played violin is a tiny bit to low and the girl is a tiny bit to high and the "S" are to distinct so you should take down the EQ around 1200 a bit. Otherwise a lovely song.

The second version is much better than the first. However, the vocals actually quiver at times and sound worse than fingernails on a chalkboard. The fiddle doesn't sound too bad but you should drop the lame steel guitar and dobro.

Herb what's the name of the tune? Your sounds click link messes with my iPad and it goes straight to your list of songs. Instead of the song itself.

Come & Go (Rose)  is the one you want to listen to regarding this thread 


the song should be at the top on my sound click..... 

scotty, chas, eko, pete, thalweg...

Thanks for listening... we will be taking all that into consideration as we record some new tracks in the near future. This version is just a preliminary to get ideas from other musicians as to what we are doing right and what we are doing wrong.... all comments are appreciated and considered. 

I believe this vocal track  was more along the lines of asking me if what she did was in the ballpark for what I am looking for. We have been discussing this and are moving forward towards that goal.

Stay tuned... the "closer to finished" version will be out in a few weeks I'm guessing... also depends on everyone's holidays schedules and available time. 

Herb,
 
What a difference between your original and new versions.    Sounds great, The LVox may be a slight bit too present for the rest of the mix but it works.   I agree it needs some harmonies but it stands on its' own as is.   Great song.
 
Regards

I agree that some harmony would make this and perhaps some background vocals to compliment what the lead and harmony are doing. I think the chorus could use a B3 (or more perhaps I should say in the higher range of things)as well just to beef it up a little but some vocals may have the same effect. Good work though!

Loved that.
In fact i loved both versions!
A harmony would be nice for that style of song, i agree.
Great recording! And arrangements. 
Better Bass Gr level on the first one (Bb version).

Tried to work out all the chords to this so as so sing and play along on my guitar in Key of A your most recent version.

Really like the song.  Both version are really good.  The 2nd has a different feel - I guess I like it better, but it's tough cause the first one is excellent too.  I like the singer in the 2nd better.
