Hi LadyinRed

Thank you so much for stopping by and posting your comments. Much appreciated. OK the chorus is the section just before the solo? We'll it's Pauline and my good self helping out with a couple of harmony parts. The solo? Yes that's me. Glad you enjoyed the track and thanks again for the kind words.

Hi Maf

Great you stopped by and had a listen to this track. Yes , five plays and six comments so it would appear to be one of my least popular tracks. It's actually one of my favourites!!

Thanks for stopping by. Appreciate it.

Hey Richie - just been listening to your tracks man...this is some production quality and this one is just great.

Take a listen to the vocal version of Always Now if you get chance...comments from you are high value :)

Cheers for now...

Yes beautiful. Less is def more, letting the vocal shine in simplicity and clarity and very restrained. I always want to to fill in the gaps too much, so nice to hear the space in this...although a distant sax somewhere...? :)

Well done it's gorgeous.

Hi Maff

Yes a distant sax somewhere would have been good but I felt maybe a bit predictable too. The guitar solo was a challenge and I didn't want to overpower the song in any way. Nice you have commented on the space and "less is more". Many thanks for stopping by and posting comments. Much appreciated.

Beautiful production.
You did a wonderful work of "simplifying" everything and letting the qualities of this song shine through.
Every choice you took serves perfectly "the track".
Maybe I would have lowered a bit the volume of the "gimme the night"s around 2:10, but the song works so well as it is.
Special mention: your guitar solo, short & straight to the point :-) Loved it.
Thanks for sharing such beautiful piece of music with us.
Ciao, Domenico

Hi Domenico

Thank you so much for your comments - much appreciated. I am particularly knocked out with your observation regarding the "simplifying" and "letting the qualities of the song shine through". It is always rewarding when fellow loopers really pick up on an aspect of the production I have been aiming at. Thank you. I am also very chuffed with your comments on the solo. Again you hit the nail right on the head!!

Many thanks.

This is absolutely one of my favorite songs from back in the day. I have not heard the RC version, but I have heard George Benson's version. Your version here ain't shabby at all, my friend! Great job!

Yeah man, this is nice! I thought I had never heard of the vocalist, but then got to a part of the song and the memories came back instantly! Had forgotten about this song completely. I'm especially fond with the guitar solo you did, it's smooth and toneful! Sometimes it's a fine line between chill out and pop music, and I think you're walking the line expertly in this track! Very good sounding mix, and I enjoyed listening this morning with a little iced coffee. Fine work!

Thank you so much for stopping by and posting your comments. Much appreciated particularly the compliment on the solo which I found a real challenge trying not to overpower the track. Iced coffee and this track sounds a great combination!

Thanks again.

Hey Richie....Whoa man,Chill Out is so appropriate,this just nails the mood from note one!I love this version,it's beautifully suspended with acres of poise and space just dripping with fluid cool...superb vocals from Pauline Wright,she has her presence dial turned way up and the richness of her voice hits the sweet spot about mid pitch,the more I listen to it the more I'm digging it (second time is even better,awesome!)....fantastic mix worthy of a separate critique,it just steps off the curb and floats out of my monitors,brilliant....usually I would rave on about guitar solos and how impressive they are (the good one's that is! lol)however this one deserves a special mention,not so much as to what's going on as to what it achieves within the arrangement,the timing is so good it releases the static electrical buildup of the sexy vocals and lets the song literally bloom....excellent work mate,everytime I listen to one of your tracks I smile.

Hi Dave

It's great to hear from you and thanks for stopping by and reviewing this track. I am always knocked out by comments that refer in detail to specific elements of a production and your perceptions of what I try to achieve with my work are always on the money. Yes I really wanted it to be "empty" in places and believe "less is more" can work very well. Pauline is becoming very comfortable in the studio (can you believe she never did any recording until recently?) and her talents are beginning to shine through very strongly. She is an absolute delight to work with. Thanks for the comments on the solo too. It was a challenge trying to play something that lifted the track without overpowering it. So pleased it sounds good on your system too.

Thanks again and best regards

Richie

Thank you so much for stopping by and posting comments. Glad you liked the jazzy feel and yes, I agree, a really nice sax solo would have worked well with the track. I kind of spoilt it all with my guitar solo eh?!!!! My friend Charlie is a saxophonist so I'll see what we can do.

Thanks again for the compliments.

Well first of all, deep house it aint. Secondly it is bloody good. As PJB said i'd bung it in the fusion genre. I love the blend of synth, guitar and that rhodes sound is excellent. I always love the clarity and arrangement of your tracks and this is no exceptio. There's some wicked soloing going on now and i can't fault this track on any level.
Cracking stuff.

Hi Richie,

First thing that comes into mind is the flawless mix. It is open en crisp and I really love what you've done. Just read the comment on the guitar, I think it has the perfect spot in the mix as it is, but I know that a lot is deciced by just taste.

Nice touch on the rim shot when the guitar is playing, gives a bit more power when needed.

If I would have to make up one comment, it would be on the EP. It plays the same chords in the same way during a big part of the track. It might be a noce addition to have it syncoped (is that the right word?) every now and then, so have it play a short chord on the 2nd 16th and a long one on the 4th or 5th.

Apart from that, flawless track. If it would be available in wav, I would download it imiediately :-)

Best, Doc

RichieWinn replied 11th Jun 2014 - 11 years ago
Hi Doc

Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by and post comments. I appreciate it.

Your view of the mix is exactly as I intended and "open and crisp" just hit the nail on the head for me. It's sometimes about less being more and keeping it simple. On that tack I guess the piano part does just sit there the whole way through and doesn't really go anywhere else so I take your point. Nice you notice the change in drum part over the solo too.

Contact me through the Loop if you want a wav file of the track. Happy to send it to you.

Thanks again.

Richie, you plus the talents of Pauline, what an amazing combination. I loved the original version of this one, but have to say you have improved it with this one.

Everything about this one screams hit record. Mix is amazing, your playing is amazing, absolutely flawless production.

Nothing to do here but smile and marvel at your talents man. As good as it gets Richie. A beautiful interpretation of a classic. Thanks so much for the download as well. It will be listened to many, many time.

I hope all is well.

Don't know about CopyRights, don't think you can go anywhere
with it without permission...
Unless the song is in the Public Domain not sure if that's
the case just yet...
Yes..By doing the tune you have put it in the Public Domain

Hello Richie,

I am an old git and I remember this song well. However, what a blissful cover you have come up with. Sounds beautiful and the lady has a voice. Just a little bit stronger on the strings, not much and you've cracked it. I love this.

Fantastic work and very emotional.

Regards,

Paul.

RichieWinn replied 10th Jun 2014 - 11 years ago
Hi Paul

Us "old gits" tend not to forget such great songs like this. That said this was Pauline's idea and she is but a mere young thing! Anyway glad you liked the track (blissful is praise indeed). Mixes are such a personal choice and I do hear what you say about the strings. I just wanted to have them sitting "in" rather than "on" the track. I appreciate your comment on the "emotional" context too and I have to agree - it's a lovely vocal performance with real soul.

Thanks for stopping by and posting comments. It's much appreciated.

This is a nice bit of what i call summer time music. I'd most definitely let this one out at a garden party. The vocals really suit the track but at the same time it completely differs from the original (which i always like in a cover) It's really professionall done as all your pieces are.
Now i'm just going to kick back and finish my smoke whilst i listen to the rest.
Wonderfull piece of music.

I am really very grateful for your comments on the track. It's good to have such positive feedback and to know how our efforts are appreciated. The arrangement is very much based on the Randy Crawford Chill Mix but with a few additions of our own. Glad you liked it.

OK, enjoy the summer, the track and your smoke!

Hey Richie! Glad to see you around these parts again and to hear that the work is almost done at the house, that must be a relief. I remember this one when it came out but can't recall who did it. I haven't heard the version you mentioned that this one is styled after so I can give you a pretty unbiased review.

This is very laid back and simplified as far as the music goes, maybe even r n b in a way. When it started I gad no idea what song it was, the piano run at the beginning was a nice touch. Pauline has a beautiful and clean sounding voice, love her rendition.

Mix is fantastic, like where you put the vocals, maybe lead and fills could be a little louder, I mean if you got got it flaunt it, lol. The tracks sounds great, totally love this chilled version.

Well done Richie!

Hi Wayne

Yes, almost two years with a paintbrush in my hand! It's nearly there so I'm getting a bit more time in the studio now. Should be back to producing music on a regular basis soon.

Thanks for the positive comments and your thoughts on the mix and my guitar parts. I mentioned in an earlier response (see djkillapaul's comments above) how subjective and personal a mix is and I do appreciate your thoughts on having the guitar fills a bit further forward. For me it sits nicely without overpowering and I guess my overall approach is very much "less is more". Anyway, good to hear from you and I hope all is well. I'm sure we will catch up again sometime soon.

Best regards

Hey Richie, Long time no speak (I needed a break from music so it's certainly not personal that i've not been around)
Anyway, I'm wondering why you're still posting stuff on this site when clearly you should be getting air time on the radio.
You've done bloody marvelous with that acapella, the mix is spot on and your talent is off the scale.
I wish i was into more commercial stuff when i listen to your tracks because people love this kind of thing.
