Douglas Kirby Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 (edited) Hi Everybody, This is a track off of my just finished album "The Westerly Sessions Vol. II". Just to let you know, I sang the lead vocal with an AT4040 through an ART MPA Gold preamp. As always, any comment or critiques are welcome, and thanks for listening.

BTW, I'm good ole' USA, but I do read the Economist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjornpdx Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Doug, the song came across as bluesy to me (and with that title it should be ?) This one goes to the top 5 of your songs posted here. Well done. Would be cool to hear you play some fingerpicking traditional blues if you're into that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy j Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Well done Doug! I listened to both versions and enjoyed both. I am generally an old style Blues, R 'n R, rockabilly, jump Blues, etc. kind of guy. Being such - electric is what I enjoy most. However, I really like you acoustic version of this song. It just seemed to fit the title, lyrics, melody, and instrumentation like a good pair of gloves. Nice one indeed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Seymour Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Thoughts as I listen on my Sony headphones... Super rich bass! "Could I have been a better man" - it sounded like you were trying for a vocal counterpoint to the drum beat, but it was a bit off in my ear Just my personal preference, would like more support, more depth in the vocal. Again, just my preference. This works for this song. Nice solo at 2:57 - rich sound. I'd maybe back it off a bit in the mix Nice vocal doubling on the chorus Good stuff.
