Description : Richard Shekari and I worked on this project earlier this year. I play bass, guitar, banjo, dobro and also sing on this. Richard added a cool harmonica sound and has an amazing voice. I have learned a lot from him, Richard produced this track.

So stoked you like it KayOs! I dig the way Richard mixed this, trading between my dobro and banjo, gave it a real Cajun feel almost bluegrass. His voice and conviction reminds me of the old Onward Christian Soldiers hym completely all in so sick!

You two always bring a smile to my face. Beautiful harmony and you still got a bit of a country twist goin on! I had imaginings of you two going on The Voice and Will I Am turning his chair :)

Richard always tells me, Lets do a Country song, but it always ends up not quite in that lane, so for you to say that it has a country twist is a great accomplishment for me. When I first heard Richards voice I was blown away and thought, oh man this is the perfect Reggae sound. I was so stoked he wanted to work with me. Cool imagery of The Voice, I hope He turns haha!!

One acapella by Elven Voice, one loop by GenaMusic... So separate but something common...I decided to merge them and to leave them as clean as I could. Just added some synth pads and percussion.

Description : I made this with a very out of tune Yamaha Acoustic Guitar in a super unique tuning that I think pleases my minor harmonic ear very soothingly.
