Pretty sure Woody Guthrie's tapping his toes to this in his grave. Nice, clean production too. Great job man.

Sweet song man, and yep totally sounds like you're right here in the room. And I think only you would ever use the words choo choo in a song here :)

Ha! I was wondering if I'd get a comment on the choo choo line. Fun to sneak something like that in a song, gets the kids interested in riding the rails.

I love hearing the live track. The guitar sounds clean. Reminds me of Bob Dylans and Johnny Cashs Travelin’ Thru. That is a fun listen.

Man... What a way to start the New Year.
I love this track. It sounds like you are
right here in the room. To me, the Mastering
is off the charts.

Great track. Faved.

PEACE...

Thanks Jynxz!

It's not technically mastered but I get what you are saying. Been working on gain staging lately, been helping with the clarity of the tracks.

Be safe, Happy New Year!

You don't need a ticket the way he travels in the song my friend. The MAN isn't getting paid for the trip, lol!

I'm not sure what else I could've done to add to it so it became a short song.

Stay safe.

So cool to hear a new song from you my friend! Leave it to you to make some real authentic folk, with all the pleasure intact! That guitar sounds really nice, sounds like you are experimenting with your mic placement, and it's working! Really good to hear your work again! Favorite for sure!

Thanks, good to see ya around Patrick!

Yeah, I might have found a sweet spot, I just recorded it again and got a nice level and tone. I had it mixed with some drums and vocals and they were fitting in the mix better.

Take care man, be safe!

Hey Ed!

Thanks! I bought a Martin D 10 Sapele(mahogany) acoustic guitar last year and have been moving the mic around to see where it records the best and I tried a different placement on this track and am happier with the sound. Plus the guitar is starting to warm up a bit more, starting to age a bit, getting it's individual tone. It was a bit mid-rangy when I first got it, gonna age nicely I think. Always loved the sound of those old Martin dark mahogany guitars.

Take care buddy!

Gran tema amigo Wayne, me encanta la limpieza y la claridad de sonido que consigues en tus pistas. Tu voz y tus letras consiguen acaparar toda mi atención y la guitarra es perfecta. Otro gran tema hermano. Que tengas una buena tarde y un prospero y feliz año nuevo. Paz y salud en el mundo.

I've been working on gain staging lately, getting the individual track to a proper volume basically. It's been making a positive difference.

Keep safe!

You can only hop onboard if you have your covid card showing you've had your shots and all aboard need to keep at least 1 boxcar separation, he.

Thanks!

I wanted to keep it simple and clean, to me the best songs are the simplest ones.

Description : One by One is a song of praise, gratitude and surrender to the Most High. It celebrates God's goodness, the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, and the freedom and new identity we receive through Him. With every blessing counted and every heart bowed in worship, we offer our sacrifice of praise and give all glory to the Lord.
