That demo would EASILY win any comparison to the version that I have created. Hands down. No question. It has the perfect hat-act-cowboy-singer vocal and all the perfect fiddle and guitar licks. (It was pitched to most of the top hat-acts at the time. 1998-ish) I don't have that type voice and it would be tough to get BIAB to include the type of fills and licks that happen in the original. (not impossible, but a good deal of work. And since I can't sing that style well, there wasn't much point in trying) That being the case I will not include the original demo initially. I decided to produce it as a sort of Country-Lite/Americana/Songwriter thing. I think I can pull that off. After a week or so, I will include a link to the original somewhere in this thread. ...if you feel like hearing it, stop back by later (it will be obvious why I don't include it to start with...guaranteed) The BAND: RealTracks in style: ~519:Bass, Electric, Pop HalfNotes Ev 120 RealTracks in song: 2934:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm FolkySync8thsFintan Ev 140 RealTracks in song: 3149:Mandola, Background AmericanaFolk8thsAndy ev 120 RealTracks in song: 1707:Guitar, Electric, Soloist CountryBrent Ev 165 RealTracks in song: 633:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopAmericanMuted Ev 120 (A:sync) RealTracks in song: 2033:Mandolin, Soloist CountryAndy Ev 065 RealDrums [in style:NashvilleEven8^6-a:Snare, HiHat , b:Snare, HiHat Open I added an acoustic guitar track.

There are so many artists I think could have really run with this song. One, maybe not so obvious choice...I would have loved to hear Nitty do this song up.

The singer that came to my mind isn't one of the hat guys, though. I imagined Billy Currington put his polish on this in his understated way. But I'm sure there some of those hat acts who would like to get their hands on this one. As always... splendid music!

I played it for Tater Totts and he said: "If that %2@@&&^%% wrote more country classics like this instead of making fun of me I would buy every single ^&&(^%%%%##@@@ record he has ever made." Then he walked off. I tried to explain that he had you all wrong, but anyway, the whole point is Tater Totts loves it and I can tell he jealous. That is a good thing. Means you are on to something.

Along the lines of Carleen Carter, Juice Newton and a few others. I like that double hit at the end of the choruses.

Yeah, this should be a hit; maybe it just needs a relief pitcher from the Sony bullpen. I'm sure I'm a bit (or a lot) biased here, but ain't no one can sing this better than you. I'll be looking forward to the demo, but no matter how many talented players contribute to it, the write will always be the part the shines brightest.

This is very much in the wheelhouse where you sat a few years ago. It's very well written, lyrically strong, the message is clear and concise. Production and performance spot on. Once again, what's become the typical, a top notch Floyd Jane song. I enjoyed this one more than a little bit. Good stuff. Charlie Last edited by Charlie Fogle; 05/01/22 12:12 PM.
