hey...

I posted a country-tune some time ago. Yesterday we recorded vocals on that tune. The singer is a good friend of mine. I really like her voice.
Hope you like it Smile

tell me what you think...

Again - good song, the first thought during intro - here should Knopfler start to sing Wink

there were 2 things which I missed:
- some guitar licks in between vocal lines
- some chop mando-like chords in second half (just a thought)

It is very nice tune, great singing and guitar playing;)

Man, her voice IS very pretty! This sounds cool man, nice and simple.

hey, I have a band now, I'm singing and writing songs, we have one tune up and are recording more this week...done on a laptop computer mic, but whatever, check it out - http://www.myspace.com/caraccidents

Jazzy,
Damn the vocals added a whole lot to that song, not that it wasn't really good already. I was wondering, did you write the lyrics as well or did she, the lyrics are really good as well? later

Jake, thanks man Smile

I sent you an request on the myspace page. Nice tunes Smile

Yagyu, I know what you mean. It`s the same version as the one I sent you, but only with vocals. I don`t have my amp at home right now, so I can`t record any strat-fills yet.
thanks for listening and for your suggestions Smile

later

Wow. What a great voice. That's a mighty fine piece you got there. I reckon you could sell a lot of copies.

I have to disagree with the Strat licks comments though. I don't think you should distract the listener with guitar licks. The voice and the space is beautiful. Or if you are going to, keep them very subtle.

mmmm, good old opinions, just like bums, everbody's got what.
So that's my bum on the subject.

Now, back to the jazz ya grass chewin', snake skin boot wearin' hilly billy!

Thanks Steve Smile

It`s just a demo-recording for fun. Maybe we`ll start a band eventually. I`ve written some tunes in this style before you see.
I`ve also thought about adding strat-licks or not. And I`ve decided not to actually. I also think her voice is very nice, so I`ll leave it the way it is. It`s important focusing on the vocal here.
