First positive thing that captured my attention was the mandolin. It adds a nice texture to the song. Seems like a good production and very genuine sounding. It reminds me of music that they used to play on the Lawrence Welk show or Hee Haw. Stylistically not my cup of tea but I can appreciate it. The flat parts of the vocals were mostly heard at the end of the notes that the singer sustained. Wait til her voice is fresh again to re-record the vox and turn her monitor down nice and low so she can hear her voice loud and clear. That'll likely cure the pitch problems.

I also loved the mandolin playing. Sounds great. Beautiful sounding song.

As usual love the harmonies etc.



I am sure you will straighten out the pitch problems others have pointed out. I cannot comment or help because I could not hit a note with my car.

I love this last effort ; you all sound so good. I think my computer made any corrections necessary or else you did it, cause what ever seemed broke sounds repaired by this late date. Tommy, I have enjoyed your work so very much all year. I am glad that you came along on this adventure! It was a joy to listen to your contributions.
Annie

Great work as ever Tommy. Ignoring the aforementioned pitchiness, the only thing I'd fiddle with is the EQ on the lead vocal, it's a bit muffled. I'd up the presence, pull back the brightness a tad, and add a little air. Just a dB or so to lighten the voice a bit.

Excellent

Hi Tommy,

This is my favorite of your songs so far. i love your voice for I can feel what you sing about. It is a voice filled with compassion and conviction, warmth and love. The lyric is wonderful and your guitar arrangment is calling to me. The note that repeats is special that way. Is that the Mando? I am so enjoying this song that I heard nothing amiss. Was the problem fixed or am I not noticing because so much of this song is exceptional that I could only hear the best? I LOVE it !
Great Work !
Annie (better late then never, i am glad it was waiting for me)
