What a neat, simple ( meant in a good way) track, lovely mellow vocal and backing and great instrumentation, love the bass in the background leaving the acoustic strings shining through. Nice work.
Hey Mark & Kyle....you guys could convert me to country....the way you do it is so close to Folk the difference doesnt matter...great work on the harmonies...but like all good songs of the genre it starts with the lyrics & the way they are delivered...and you do it well boys...I would maybe run a little bass in the mix but I can sure do without it....Bravo guys....more....Ed
Whoa Mark you are killing it in this track. I absolutely love the music. The vocals are very crisp and sit out front. Love the lyrics. Overall you did a fantastic job on this. Keep it up, this is good stuff. We should try to collab on a country track sometime, its my favorite genre so I have been working on writing a lot more country tunes.
Really like your work. Listened to a lot of your songs. I have been writing lyrics for about 4 years now and am a us marine who is trying to get into country singing. Was wondering if you would be willing to work with me on making a few tracks or if you would be willing to send or sell me some of the tracks so I can get started. (Sadly I don't play any instruments myself at this time and I have just been playing around with some different recording programs and apps.) If you would be interested or willing to help me out then I will put your information on all tracks I upload and send the ones I add to back as well so you will have them and can give your piece as well. Please let me know ASAP. My email is matthewgudmundson@yahoo.com if its easier to call and talk, just shoot me a message and ill give you my number. Hope to work with you in the future.
Great song Mark!
Already said several times, but I will say it once more: you have a great voice! Very interesting!
I really enjoyed the instrumental section starting around 1:45: good bass, nice solo and I find also interesting the effect on the voice which introduces this section.
Take care,
Domenico
Very nice. Reminds me of some Davenport Cabinet with a voice like Drive-By Truckers. Solo's have an awesome tone as well. I have nothing but good things to say about this track.
Great track. Really enjoyed listening to it. I've read all the comments above too (voice to far back in the mix, drums to far back in the mix) and agree. It might be worthwhile remixing as the track has got some real merit. Good job.
The music is great, drums could be louder. Lyrics are sound, but the vocals feel out of place. Would have liked to hear a cleaner sounding voice on top of this music, but still a great expression. Has a Drive-by Truckers vibe. Nice.

I tried drums, orchestral, etc but the song screamed unplugged with these few instruments.

TY for the kind comments. Simple tracks can actually be harder than complex ones when it comes to mastering. Glad it worked :D

TY for the listen. Very glad you like it. The guitar I am using on this song is my PRS semi cut...using both pickups for a fat sound.

Yes I did try a far right/left pan on the track but it made it lose the feel and left it feeling a little empty.
