Douglas Kirby Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Hi Everybody, This is a track off my new album "A Gray Colored Sky" This is one of the few songs I use slide on - I hope it's not terrible? Any comments and critiques are welcome, and thanks for listening.

DeeringAmps Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 More "classic" Kirby here. A Gray Colored Sky certainly has a coherent vibe and sound. If I had to put a "label" on it, I'd say mid to late sixties Ray Davies and the Kinks, but as I've mentioned, more than once, you definitely have "defined" yourself, and such comparisons really don't do you justice. More good stuff from Doug, and I recommend everyone take a listen! Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy j Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I too get that Ray Davies feel on this song. I particularly found the guitar work interesting. More specifically, I really liked the sound between the the rhythm (panned middle) and the bass. Interesting sound of the guitars on the lead and accent fills. I like the interplay when both got going toward the end. Good stuff -- I enjoyed this very much! I also enjoyed the guitar sounds and interplay on " Wanted To Be Yours". Good power sounds! Good vocals on this one also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjornpdx Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Douglas Another great song - I'm just gonna copy and paste those 3 words from now on. ? One little nit I have is that guitar fill at 1:00 and 2:08 seems to come in on one channel only. Just stood out to me. The other guitar fill at 1:36 and elsewhere sounds more natural. The slide sounds really good to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Bush Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Yeah I liked this one , I think I would have added a vocal harmony somewhere after the second verse . even so still a good song . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wookiee Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Mix works well here on the Event 20/20's the fill is little biased but seems OK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnbee58 Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Nice poppy tune. I can identify with the lyrics for sure. I could imagine a harmony line in that guitar intro line. ?John B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABull Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Hey Douglas, how'd you get that kick to sound so good? Very good mix on this and the song just pops in all the right places -- another good one, mate~~Allan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I put the Waves Scheps Omni Channel on the stereo drum bus - it really made the drum track come alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
