Voice always reminds me of Dylan. Second vocal in the break is pretty cool.
I'm not a fan of the lower stuff on the left. Would sound a bit better centered a bit more.
Not a lot to really say in terms of criticism! More of an intro and outro, but I liked it and the drums had a good sound, though I'd add a bit more hat in the verses.
Noting, Static's point at :15 Are there toms playing along side the bass? Might be the cause for muddle.
DANG DUDE. Your stuff has spiked sharply in quality. No joke. You're getting closer and closer to radio quality. Such a massive (and pleasant) difference from your older work! Towards the later part of the song, it feels a bit unbalanced in volumes on the left and right sides, at least to my ears. Overall, A+ for your improvement! Keep it up. You're seriously improving by leaps and bounds!
Thanks for the compliments, I think I enjoy the mixing and mastering stage of the recording process the most now that I am trying to get better at it. I noticed that muddle as well, I mixed this song completely on my Sony MDR 7506's, I haven't has chance to listen on my monitors yet, I keep them in the studio that I put in at my school. I am having trouble finding the right eq move on those headphones since they are not overly bass heavy. Thanks again, I appreciate it immensely.
I probably told you that I have most of the EZ kits. I think I recognise this one. Is it the one just called Rock? I tend to forget their names when I'm working with them.
Anyway, your opening lead guitar has some pretty decent bends in it. A bit country for sure.
0:15 there seems a bit of a problem with the bass. It seems too subby and interferes with the rest of the track. Have you just got bass guitar there? Definitely something muddy about the low end.
Song is really quite catchy and fun. Drums are effective and well suited to the genre. Decent fills and switches from hat to ride.
Mix seems pretty good. Powerful but not painfully loud.
My main production criticism is regarding the low end. Oh, and the ending, which is very inconclusive and also cuts off abruptly.

I am having trouble finding the right eq move on those headphones since they are not overly bass heavy. I need to go back and re-fade that ending as well, it was not as smooth as I wanted, I adjusted some sections of the track and it must have messed with that fade not being turned down all the way.
Hey thanks for stopping by to listen and comment. This is a song I wrote for my wife, the little miss was just a catchy sounding phrase that worked for the melody and flow of the song.
Not a huge fan of country rock, but I am truly impressed with the sound quality you achieved in this recording. The guitars sound awesome. nice work

The very first thing that struck me about this is the quality of your acoustic guitar recording. Lovely, warm totally pro sound. I'd like to have that sort of sound but don't have a proper acoustic. Two resonators but no proper acoustic.
Some of the guitar playing is a nice combination of somewhat funky and I feel that I can hear the details of your fingers strumming. What a difference a great recording of an instrument makes.
Song is pretty solid but nothing special to my ears. It does sound like radio music. The changes all work just fine.
Bass does a really good supporting job.
1:10 maybe that electric guitar solo could be a bit louder as the acoustic is still dominating. Maybe that's how you want it.
Congrats on a really good production. Doesn't really matter if I'm not that into the songwriting style. I'm sure others are.
Hey Static thanks for the input, I agree that the solo needs to come up a little, I will get to that here soon. I appreciate the compliments on the production, I have really been trying to focus on my production skills, so it must be paying off. Anyway, thanks again for the listen and the feedback, I appreciate it.
Dang! I'm really blown away by this one! You've come a heck of a long way in the past year! This one sounds so much better production-wise than some of your old stuff. Your voice in particular sounds much more professional. The only thing I notice is a lack of bass presence, but besides that, the mix is great and everything sounds wide and clear. Great work and epic improvement!
Thanks Brado, I have really tried to concentrate on the production side of my track. I used to just record and move a few faders and be done, now I actually try to eq things, add compression and what not. I am glad you are hearing a difference, I must actually be learning something :), anyway thanks for stopping by and having a listen.
Not my kind of Rock, a country fusion sound, but your voice instantly reminded me of Dylan and his son. Don't hear many decent singers on here. It was good to hear your vocals.
Guitars are pretty minimal. Simple structure, but it sounded like something you'd hear on the radio. I don't think you were going for originality, but it sounds good without having to be complicated.
Hey Evan, I appreciate the vocal complement, I wish I were a better singer but I have come to except what I have. This song started on accident really, I was trying to find some guitar tones that I liked and then I ended up writing this while messing around, a normal process I guess. Thanks for listening, I appreciate it.
great job and great song. I love all the guitar tracks that you got layered in. but in parts I feel they guitars tracks volume are to high. like the solo at 3:02 was very cool but volume to low and got over whelmed by the other guitar tracks. good job sorry trying not to sound so critical.
Hey adamms, thanks for listening and the download. I agree that the guitar solo is a bit hard to hear. I will try to fix that soon and then update the track. Thanks again
Nice one!
Against your profile's text, i think you have enough nice vocal. At least i can imagine this track on most local (hungarian) radio stations. There's tons of a lot worse singers, lol.
Very tasty accompaniment with just the right amount of embellishment bits to compliment the basic rhythm parts...as always, you do a fine job on the lyrics Kyle & deliver them with that cool vocal character you have...really enjoyed this one...great job...Ed
Thanks Ed, I appreciate your feedback as always. I am finally starting to get some more time to write and record more, so hopefully I can do at least one track per month. I have really been trying to concentrate on learning to mix and master my tracks better, which I think is one of the funnest aspects of the whole songwriting process. Thanks again for listening.
Excellent song mate, and a perfect vibe for a lazy Sunday morning/afternoon. Really well recorded too with some great instrumentals. Two thumbs up and thanks for uploading.
Merry Christmas Kyle! Sounds great, mix is your best yet. The vocals are out front and the acoustic tracks are set just right supporting the vox. It has a little feel of the Allman Bros. thrown in there. The recording of the acoustic guitars sounds live, recorded through a mic. It will be cool to see where you take this and how much you add.
I like your singing a lot. I can understand all the words! Is that a steel guitar you use for some bits of countermelody here and there (I heard a bit of sliding)? Nice work. Good luck with further development.
The slide guitar is actually my Telecaster with a little chorus, and a whole lot of reverb going into a Fender tweed amp. I usually use Pod Farm, or Waves GTR3 for my guitar sounds, I don't have the space for amp. Both sound pretty good and are easy to tweak. Thanks for listening and commenting, I appreciate it.
not a fan of new country, but that being said I love classic country, blues, bluegrass and this sort of mudbone sound that just reeks of attitude and hubris. Awesome work and I can't wait to hear the developed product.
Cru
Hey thanks for listening and commenting, I love all types of country, I prefer the early 2000's and before but none the less the new stuff is ok...a little too poppy at times though. Whenever I try to write country songs, I like to try combine the older stuff with my own style...for better or worst. Anyway, I am glad you liked the track and I appreciate you taking the time to listen.
This is probably the most traditional Country song I have heard you do Kyle...and you have done an exceptional job of it....its got the story,,...perfect accompaniment (dont add too much to it...but I can hear the room some some strings and maybe a more prominent bass part)..I guess the Loop doesn`t have a lot of country...but this is just a good song, exceptionally well done in any genre..a tip of the hat to you....Check out a site called SongRamp..a lot of country & gospel music and an active songwriters forum...I posted a couple of my instrumental tunes on their free version a while back but realized that aside from the friendships it was not really the place for an old instrumental guy...You have a good song going Kyle and its worth doing whatever you can to take it to the level you want and getting it out there...It would fit right in the "Country" charts....great job...keep on....Ed
Thanks for the kind words, I agree with you on keeping the song simple and not adding too much to it. I am going to check out the website as well, after writing the song I have a couple artist in mind that would really sound awesome singing this song. One of them is a relatively unknown artist who has actually wrote a couple of songs that were cut by some big names in the industry. I may try to pitch the song to him, not sure how do that but I think its worth a try to figure out. Thanks again for the listen and review.
Wow! I just came across this! I really dig the loosiness of the track. Feels raw, real. That bass provides a lot of punch and drives the heaviness into the song. Great work, always lovin' your stuff :) Btw, your mixing is improving!
In my opinion this is the best stuff. Raw, live human performances, imperfections only add to the beauty of it. My brother has been doing alot like this,(bluesdaddy80) just jamming on his acoustic and singing away. Very cool :D
