New original, it’s called “Soft truths.” I didn’t set out to write it? I am the vessel, and songs come to me, I’m just glad they’re still coming!

Mr. Markno999 collaborated with me on this gem.  I wrote it, and recorded it and then sent it to him for his opinion and to add a lead?

Well, he produced it, redid the drums (everyone likes his drums better) added some rhythm guitar, added some orchestration, did the solo, recommended the dobro in the beginning (which I added) and Mark did the mix.

He is the Seals to my Croft, he is the Garfunkel to my Simon, and I am proud to have him as a colab partner.

Submitted for your approval, I think it’s a monster hit?
At the top, “Soft truths.”

I believe we all have and live with "Soft truths..." Sometimes from us personally? And sometimes from others close to us. 


I'm playing the Goodall 6, a Taylor 12, and a Warwick fretless. the bro is my Goldtone. Good mics and pre-amps, I know Mark's stuff is the shizzy as well. I did the piano in Ivory, and my strings were EWQL Gold, He redid the drums (I think with Superior?) I'm really pleased with how it turned out, but also very interested in feedback from the mix-masters :-)

That's your wheelhouse Robby.

Very nicely done by you and Mr. Markno999.

Thanks Ed :-) This is the one I said "came to me?" When I was working on Gary's tune? It came on in and said "WRITE ME!! RECORD ME!?" And Mark is a freaking genius... Seriously. I wrote it? But he perfected it... Not saying it's perfect? But you know what I mean. Thanks again! We've worked hard on it :-)

And the bass my bass playing friend? :-) That's my fretless... That's a Warwick fretless thumb bass? And it's been set-up... And my friend? It is like an adult experience with your favorite actress, without the unintended consequences... I mean that bass? Well... "Mister president? FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS!" 

nice job on this track. calls to mind a bit of Lynyrd Skynyrd and Bob Seger, which is always a great thing :) 
guitar solo is tasty and reminds me of classic arena rock done the way it should be.  i think the slide guitar in the beginning can come up a db or two so we can enjoy it all the more.

good stuff.

Cool song. I like it. It has a nice country rock feel to it. 

Nice bass. The acoustic and dobro are nice too. 

To my ears.... the vocals are a bit muffled which seems to be your default EQ setting on vox.  I'd personally like to hear a bit more crispness to the vox. Just a touch to add sparkle and air. 


Other than that... man.... good job and a nice collab.

Robby, I always enjoy your distinctive voice, and this is no exception.  Very fine songwriting and production makes this a winner.  This deserves a wide audience, and I hope you find it.

Great job men!

Robby, well written tune as as per usual you have a unique, controlled and warm quality to your voice. 

Great job on the orchestration percussion and melodic touches on this Mark, I know what your capable of.

Its all there in its glory, but I would say sometime in the future it still needs tightening with the beat, but thats a nitpick.

Bravo guys. This is wonderful.
nits:
I agree with Herb on the vocs.
I also thought the guit solo was a little busy for the tune.

Really liked this.

Very nice! Loved the song. I think guitar solo is fine. Great singing
