I'm a big fan of the Eagles (their songs, their band and especially their harmonies)...this is a two song medley of a beautiful old hymn and a parody of the great Eagle's tune 'Peaceful Easy Feeling'...I'm breaking a rule by sharing a cover but I did contribute some lyrics along the way and the hymn is public domain...the BiaB tracks I added really enhanced the recording IMHO...if you like three part harmony you might like this...who knows? so if you do...as always thanks for listening...Dan

Vocals: Single Heart (Dan & Gene Simmons and Bob Huston)
I played: piano, B3 organ...guitars, bass and drums were from studio tracks
I added from Band in a Box: some acoustic rhythm guitar, pedal steel, and an added drum kit (sorry I can't find the .SGU that I used...I've lost it!)

Hello firesong,
here's my feedback to your song.

Technical feedback:
  • Fantastic mix, sounds really professional. Nothing to complain at all
  • Very good vocals


Artistic feedback:
  • I love, love, love those harmonies, both at the beginning and in the Eagles part.
  • I think this is my new favorite of yours [Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]

Well, the vocals are lovely throughout, and the backing instruments support them perfectly. Nice mix, too. Great song(s)!

Great harmonies on the opening.

I stuffed wax into my ears and had someone tie me to the mainsail to resist listening to the parody, so I can't comment on that. wink

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Man, those harmonies! Too good for words. Nice job on the Parody, that's always been one of my favorite Eagles songs.

Nice one Dan, enjoyed.

Excellent harmonies throughout!
Janice’s Mama always liked Higher Ground.
And come to think of it she also liked the Eagles!

We can see how the lyric attracted you to “gospelize” this Eagles song - it all sounds "Eagles smooth."
(We are huge Eagles fans)

Enjoyed it,

J&B
