I keep coming back to this song... think its brilliant.

Mix is clear..
Little more bass and drums for my taste.
Very strange sound...  I have never heard anything like this before... liked it a lot.

Nice..
Different things kept catching my attention...  nice ear candy.

Nice Bjørn.
Relaxing..

No song here to comment...

I liked this a lot.
Was struggling to hear your vocals.
Bring them to the front more..  dont be shy  🙂

I never know what to expect with your music Jessie,
Think this is the clearest I have heard your vocals on your tracks.

WOW... sounds fantastic on my Focal Trios.
Very well mixed with a sexy vocal!!!
Dont know how you can imagine such a song.. brilliant.

Very nice work... really.
Your gifted in this area my friend.

Nice tune 🙂
I agree about more pronounced bass,

Your guitar skills are great...  love it.
Bit of old Carlos in there.

Very nice and very clear mix.

Yes.. very 1960's and the tone quality on the voice made I think.
Liked it a lot.

Lots of stuff going on on this mix and I can hear everything.

HI Freddy I like your style a lot there is something about that olde retro sounds.
I would like to have your vocals more up front
On my monitors it sounds a little muddy.. 

Very nice.  Like it.
I think the thing that could be improved upon are the drum tracks as they sound mechanised.
I myself love this style of music.

Well done.

@garybrun, who would you say are your primary vocal influences?  I'm hearing a few, and I want to see if I'm right or I'm just hearing what I want to hear in them.

Nice vocal performance.  I could use a few more harmonies here and there on certain words/phrases to add emphasis in the verses.

The difficult thing for me here (not being big headed) but I sing a little like Elvis..  but that is my natural voice.
So its quite hard not to come across as you are impersonating.. so on this song I tried to tone it down.
I have been an entertainer for about 30 years,, so have been listening to many styles of music so its hard to put a finger on the artists.
I love Dean Martin, Louis Armstrong, Sinatra and Garth Brooks and some of Elvis stuff... mostly ballads.
Michael Bubble is also admired.

So there is no misunderstanding here...
I am not that talented.

I have took backing tracks and rebuilt them and added my own vocal.

HI folks.
So there is no misunderstanding here in my latest posts...
I have not played these songs...  I have adapted backing tracks.
Vocals is my main instrument.

I have posted quite a few now up on SoundCloud and they are trending...  I think country is my new thing.
I enclose my vocal chain...
 

Jessie... you didn’t come across as being rude at all mate.

All is good here...  Hats of to you too!!!!

Gary, please don't take offense to what I am about to say.  I have thought a lot about this subject, on whether we as artists are popular because of what we do.  I really think your success has less to do with you "doing something right," and more to do with

 being in the right place at the right time, paired with a dose of luck.

Now let me explain further, I am not saying you do not have talent (which you obviously do), or that you have not practiced your ***** off to hone your skills (which you obviously have), or that you are not a handsome dude that all the kids are attracted to (which you obviously are), that is all beside the question.

Remember that time we went to that little club on a Monday night, and there were only six other people in the joint, and there happened to be some live music, and the band knocked us out with their performance, and we kept asking ourselves why these kids weren't breaking out nationally, and we found out they had to  pay the owner to play that night.  Remeber?

Whatever you are doing, keep on doing it.

Ride that wave baby!!!!!   You are killing it, just keep stepping up to the plate and swing at the ball!

Congrats, you deserve it.

 

 

HI Jesse.
Thank you for you post... and well written too!
I do not take offence and understand what you are trying to say!
Let me clarify I few things and I hope people understand what I am trying to say.

It may sound a little personal,,, but I am open and honest and straight talking  guy.
I am 55 years old and ever since I was little I was told I would never amount to anything and I wouldnt be even paid in washers!

I was brought up in children s homes , foster homes, sexually abused etc etc..  you have heard the horror stories before may times.
I wont go into to details more...  but I am willing to share via PM if any wants to know.

But... all those bad things that happened have made me into the man I am to day.
Have been a foster parent to 6 kids and kicked the devil up the ***** by turning the experiences around for good and many other stuff...  but thats by the by.

Im not big headed....  but have learned to love myself... the man I am and was made to be.
Unless you can love yourself... its hard to love others.
Yes..  I can sing.. but the good looking bit I am not sure about!  lol

All my skills on the recording side of thing are not so special and everything I have now I have learnt here mostly  (think Ive been over 10 years now).
I just find it weird and exciting... that I suddenly decide to do a country cover version and people liked it.  Thats a big kick to be honest.

I shared it on here... to try and encourage people...   not that I want to be big headed or anything..
Its like sharing with your family.

So if I do come across as being stuck up my own *****...  if you could meet me in person you would know I'm not like that.
Not a good writer or an educated man..  but am educated in lives "hard school" and proud of it.

As I said I will go through a lot of the songs that people have posted up and make comments.
Thanks again everyone and you can say anything to me as it takes a lot to get me offended.

Garyxxx

Well Im getting quite productive.... will soon have an album  🙂
This is a Scandinavian dance band/country song.
 

I love this Gospel Song.

I think I like your vocal just a little better then the original ( Josh's voice is too deep, I know it's classic country and people love it ) kind of sounds like you moved up a fret or two as well. Good Job.

Wow thats a fantastic compliment... thank you.

Sounds good, I'm listening through my good speakers and it's a nice wide mix, the Elvis thing aside it's obvious you have a great voice.

Thanks so much Joad.
