"SNOW DREAMS" Merry Christmas from the Pugtones

We wrote this last year and I would say it is the closest to how I think of Christmas.  Real wonderful memories.  I hope all of you have wonderful memories too.  Merry Christmas!

    Love that intro Warren, beautiful guitar tone. Vocals are very nice indeed, your voices blend beautifully together. Super little break too, lovely phrasing, I could have stood a few more bars of that

    Very nice tune Warren. This mix is really crystal clear, vocals are perfect. Love your guitar solos in this as well, very smooth sounding. About the only thing I might change is using a different delay for the arpeggiated guitar than you use for the solo phrases...

    That is a killer opening chord sequence, and the major to minor thing sprinkled throughout is a treat to hear.
     
    Mix-wise the steel string? Jobin-esque melody up top has an occasional ringy harshness to it, and it's very present throughout the song, you might hit it with a touch of eq cut. Or compress it less? Perhaps it's only me that hears it that way. But it's a sweet part and it carries the song along - you might just drop it a bit in level?
     
    Lovely vocals as well.
     
    Nice to hear something from you, please post more often!
     
    cheers,
    -Tom

    Wow that was really sweet. Well performed Mark and Warren! Loved the guitar and bass tones and a really nice selection of percussion - fits perfectly for this style. Vocals were outstanding as well...  listening again ...
     
    The steel guitar and electric blend so nicely. The steel guitar has such a unique tone to it what guitar did you use for this? Great stuff!
