nice track. the beginning reminded me of an orchestral maneuvers in the dark song. you have so many parts to this track, not just techno which is good. anyway, keep up the great work, CF
..my expectations of any of your tracks are never dissapointing..and this one delivers!!!! yeeh--haaa!!
I have to confess to jamming along to this superb country tune and drooling with envy once again at yr pic of those telecasters. keep on producing/composing and playing quality tracks like these for us Looper-listeners..top notch once again Randy..thanks for uploading...
Good to hear from you again. Glad you enjoyed playing along with this tune. Just 3 basic chords and you can have a good time. lol
I appreciate your comments very much and I liked your review, since it makes me feel good that I can spur others on, and also to have fun with a song I do.
As for my guitars, I have several tele's if you'll look at my profile gallery. I have 9 guitars total and some other instruments in the pictures...including my 1971 Emmons pedal steel that I use.... in a different picture.
The 2 Buck Owens special edition guitars are not used...just for investment purposes. Worth about $2,000 each now. (I got them from Canada).
I love the Telecaster sound and that is why I own several, as not all have the same sound with differing pickups, de-tuners and palm pedal.
Thanks again...I'll do another country tune soon.
Randy
Wonderful from the beginning. Then you ride the Memphis sky. One of those wonderful songs, which only you can do ... Super Randy. Very good from start to finish. A gem.
Hi there Vicen,
Thanks for your glowing review. I thought that you might enjoy the tune. I will have another song ready in a month or less. Just not sure what it will be...either Blues, or Rock this tume.
Thanks again and will review another of your songs as well.
Randy
The pedal steel sounds great and I'm glad to hear someone else play some mandolin here. This has a cool southern rock feel to it. The mix is great, as usual. Really enjoyed listening to this track, such high quality.
So are you working less now? I remember you saying before you were working countless hours each week. Hope you have more time to put into tracks like this!! Thanks Randy for putting this up and sharing your work, always a pleasure!
Thanks so much for the review and am glad you enjoyed the country song. The mandolin part wasn't speedy or anything, but filled in nicely.
As far as work...I am retired now finally. So I have more time to do whatever I want to. No more waking up at 4am.
So more time for music now and other things in life I have been missing out on.
Thanks again for your comments. I'll have another tune up in a month or less. (Rock or Blues)
Randy
This is really well done. The essence of country is completely captured in this one song. I can believe you've been playing a long time, man! Faved for sure.
My office is rocking right now!! All the instrumentation weaving and grooving just right!! Loved the Pedal Steel and Mandolin. Glad you back bro!! This was a rocking country tune 3 peat and FAVed!! Fila
Hi ya Fila,
Great to hear from you. I am glad you enjoyed the country tune I put together. Took me about a month. I am too much of a perfectionist I guess just to put out a quickie. So that is partly the reason my songs aren't usually done in a faster time frame.
I want quality as best I can do as I know my songs will be floating around the Internet long after I am gone. :-)
I will check and see what you have up and give a review back as well...and to the others here that reviewed this song.
Take care now,
Randy (Retired power plant operator)
Thanks for your review of my country tune. I always appreciate comments from folks. I hope to have another song up in about a month. So take care and thanks again,
Hello John,
Thanks for the review. Yeah.....don't need Christmas again right away. Once a year is enough!
Will get to review some of your songs as well shortly.
Thanks again,
Randy
Thanks John,
I see you found another one you liked. I appreciate the comments.
Did you ever get to listen to the one I did called 'Canadian Pride'?
I loved that one myself,
Randy
Thank you so much for your review and comments. I appreciate reading them very much.
I will get over to your page this week and review some of your tunes as well, and give a review back. Take care,
Randy
Nice one Randall. Had to fav this, the guitars are smoking on this. Good to hear a new tune from you. Thanks for sharing, I hope we will hear more soon.
Thanks for listening and giving me a review on my latest song. I certainly appreciate the feedback.
I'll be making more rock and country songs as well. Got some more ideas for some Blues too.
I'll get over to your page and give a listen and give you, and the others here, feedback as well.
Thanks again,
Randy
Hi Randy - Master of Rockguitar !
It is kind of the genious "classic" Hard Rock style of the early 80´s - you did a a genious guitar tuning and the background effects are perfect with it.
Like it very much !
Hope to hear more from you in this genre - excellent!
Hello Franky,
Ha Ha, can't say as I am a master of the rock guitar myself as there are many out there that can run rings around me. But, I enjoy doing the best I can in the amount of time I have.
I appreciate your comments and am happy that you enjoyed the song.
I see you don't have any tracks up yourself so I can't hear any of your music. I would say jump in and have some fun making music. There are free programs out there that will at least get you started.
Thanks again for your comments,
Randy
Hey Randy, what joy to hear you again. Rock hard, to start the concert. Well structured and restrained, with electrifying rhythms ... Now the show can begin ... and end of the track, I wanted more ...
Hello there Vicen,
Nice to hear from you. Thanks for reviewing my latest track and am glad you enjoyed it as much as I did putting it together. I appreciate your inspiring comments and will make more.
Thanks again,
Randy
Hey Randy, nice to hear a new track, this is a rocker in the true meaning of the word! The mix is great, all the guitars stand out and the playing is very tight, what more could you ask for!
Hi ya Wayne,
Good to hear from you as well. I really missed not doing any music since last April. But work tired me out with over 1150 hrs. of overtime last year. I am working 12 hour shifts now as before they were 8 hour shifts. I won't be working much longer anyways. (But I did keep practice up)
I appreciate your comments very much along with all the other reviewers here.
I'll get over to your page, and also the others here and catch up on what new songs you all have put out.
Later....and thanks!
Randy
Hi there Bill,
Good to hear from you. I see your still putting out great songs which is a big plus for us all.
Glad you enjoyed this tune. Took me over a month to do it the way I wanted it.
Nice to hear you back rockin' Randall!
This is the kinda stuff I first heard from you that got me fired up about this site and the possibilities of home recording.You set the
standard for me and you continue to inspire with this track!
Hello there Allen,
Glad to hear I can still help fire you up some. :)
I will make more tunes in the coming months and I'll still do a variety of rock, country and Blues.
So I hope anything I do will help inspire you and others to do the best you can, and still have fun.
Yeah, I've been waiting for a tune!Heavy and brutal. The only thing is that I think the guitars are slightly too loud or the drums slightly too low.
But, I think what you do is totally awesome. Sir, you shown us how it's done.
Hi there Kikajon!
Thanks for being my first reviewer. I appreciate your comments very much. As far as the drums, they are the same volume throughout, except possibly at the very begining when the solo starts.
So I would say that the guitars volume is the difference your hearing.
Working with different guitars I have and the tone settings I wanted for the parts made them seem louder as well.
Thus sometimes I felt that a guitar part needed to shine thru and not get lost in the mix and so I did make some a little louder.
So thanks for mentioning that. I'll try and do better mixing on the next one so they will blend in more, but still stand iout.
Hello there Mike,
Say...thanks for the review and listen to this tune.
Mixing 2 songs together isn't easy as you can imagine....that's why I don't do it much.
I appreciate your review and will give a listen to see what you have up.
Thanks for stopping by and listening/reviewing this tune of mine. I appreciate the kind words. Sorry that I haven't made any songs since April, but I just had too much overtime at work....usually working a month straight before having any days off.
Now things have slowed way down and I am also going to retire at the end of this year. So I'll have more time for music.
I am putting together a classic type rock tune that you'll probably enjoy. Won't be ready till next month probably.
Thanks for reviewing the Spanish version of 'Rock of Tallin'.
Glad you enjoyed it. I don't speak any Spanish myself. A fellow liked the song and wanted to put the lyrics in...so I said, go ahead, and this is what he came up with.
I also reviewed one of your songs today.
Thanks again for listening and reviewing this tune.
Randy
I think it's great that you are able to mix "live" and loops so well - when's the album due out? Love the country stuff. I have been thinking about doing some of this myself, if I ever learn to play something. I am considering buying a lap steel and giving it a shot soon - thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks for your nice comments.Ha Ha...no album....I just do this for fun. If someone wants to put words to my music...okay by me. Just would be nice if they gave some credit is all.
A lap steel won't give you all the sounds I am getting off my Pedal Steel.
A Pedal Steel gives the sound a moving feeling and is different than a lap steel. However, if a person is very skillful, they can mimic one pretty close.
I see you have no songs up so I can't review anything of yours...so thanbks again. I believe I have 27 songs up now...but most are towards the rock vein.
Randy
Excellent job! A good-sounding country track - not too slow, easy-listening C&W. Folks like myself who like steel guitar as a lead instrument will appriciate your efforts. Layering "live" over the rythym produced a track that ranks right up there with a lot of studio recordings I've heard.
Thanks for the compliments on this tune as well. In the band I use to play in back in the late 60's-80, we did a variety of music for different audiences...and we usually had to to play several waltzes during the evening.
So it was fun to do here, and to also add in loops of instruments I don't own or play myself...like the fiddle in particular.
I am working on a classic type rock tune now and will do another country one after that.
Take care, and thanks again for listening and reviewing my tunes.
Randy
Thanks for listening to this waltz tune as well. I didn't think that mnay people would like it....being so slow. I don't play my pedal steel as often as I should anymore...or even the 5-String Banjo that took me months to learn. It sits in the closet. ;-)
If you want to try adding lyrics or vocals to it, let me know and I can make it happen, as far as spreading the tune out and making some parts quieter for the voice.
Thanks a lot for taking the time to listen to one of my tunes, and to also leave a review. Over 456 listeners...and only 16 reviews! But it was downloaded 103 times...so what does that tell ya. Guess others liked it as well. :-)
Anyways, I am glad you also enjoyed it. I liked doing the Synth part. I believe I did it one in
e-minor for the effect.
I'll stop over and take a listen and review one of your songs in kind in a day or so. I am at work now and can't do much here. I am working on a classic type rock tune now.
