Douglas Kirby 544 Posted August 14, 2020 Hi Everybody, This is a track off of my album "The Westerly Sessions Vol. I". This song is a bit different from my usual fare - it's really a duet, but I don't know any female singers, so I sang the female part on the harmony. As always, any comment or critiques are welcome, and thanks for listening. Here it is: https://www.soundclick.com/music/songInfo.cfm?songID=14058132 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SupaReels 74 Posted August 14, 2020 Your vocal sounds a bit like early Jagger ... some might think the reverb and drums are a bit hot but I think they make this song worth another listen .. I like this track a lot ! Sabby 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeeringAmps 862 Posted August 14, 2020 More great Kirby from ya Doug. A tiny crit, I'd put a high pass on the acoustic; that and the bass are creating a bit of mud in the low mids. I'd roll it up until the acoustic is well defined and the bass is free to breath; just my nickel98, take it with a grain of salt. 4 hours ago, Sabby Brown said: the reverb and drums are a bit hot That's part of the Kirby sound... 😉 👍 t 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wookiee 933 Posted August 15, 2020 Pleasant little tune Douglas, I do wonder if it just wanders on a little to long I did listen to the end. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bajan Blue 476 Posted August 15, 2020 Douglas - nice track - agree perhaps a little long and a bit muddy in low mids?? Apart from that, cool stuff Nigel 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I appreciate your ears - thanks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey Wookiee - Thanks for listening. I think I agree with you on the end being a bit too long. On the remix I may cut out 8 bars at the end to tidy it up some. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bjornpdx 622 Posted August 17, 2020 Really like the chorus (and the rest of the song) - sounds 60s pop to me. As usual guitar is excellent. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Bjorn - yeah, I don't know where this song came from - perhaps you're right calling it 60's pop. I've never written a duet before, so it was unusual for me. Thanks for listening.

Grem 2,420 Posted August 17, 2020 Good song Douglas. I like the sound of the guitars in the chorus. You did good job on the vocals and the harmony. Agree with the early Jagger comment! Good mix for me. I like it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daryl1968 409 Posted August 17, 2020 This is different from your usual stuff. Still cool though - I like the big reverb on the drums Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lynn Wilson 467 Posted August 18, 2020 Douglas, I think I could pick your voice out of a crowded room, and I mean that as a compliment! You found your niche, and you make the most of it. It's always fun to just let the player go on after the first song. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
