  • garybrun changed the title to I've Been down - Hobo Train. (Bands Own Composition)

Reminiscent of something The Eagles might have written and recorded - and that's a pretty high bar in my book.

Only one word to describe this and that word is 'perfection'.

I absolutely loved it!

I Totally agree with Andy's description of this track.

A well established writer in Nashville (worked with him in my day job) once told me ..

"Never quit working on the song you are working on"   

This is a perfect example of that.   If you had pulled the plug on this one earlier , it would have never gotten to this point.

Fantastic performance and mix/master.       Love it ..  mark

Oh I love the way this sounds !

Just sings out to eardrums in a very pleasant way. I heard this before, and glad to see you're still refining the mix, great stuff Gary.

Thanks for taking the time to listen and comment.

First time hearing "I've Been Down" and Hobo Train.  The song and delivery reminds me A LOT of early Rascal Flatts songs.  How does a lead singer for a Norwegian Country Band develop such a strong southern accent?  :)

While listening through headphones I'm hearing two background vocalists that are spread wide left and wide right.   There is not much, if any background vocalist near the center.  The left channel vocalist seems to be more prominent and above the musical instrument tracks while the right channel vocalist seems to sometimes get lost in the musical instrument tracks.  Hopefully these are things you expect the listener to hear.

Great use of effects.  Very clean and clear sounding mix.  Nice dynamics.  Dog gone good.

Hi Jim.
Thanks so much for taking the time to listen and comment.
You are spot on with your comments and it is what we as a band are working on with the mix.
Thomas (lead singer) likes Rascal Flatts songs.  🙂
Kristin (Left)  Laila (Right) needs some automation.

We plan to have another mix session later... and release on Spotify.
We have one track out there and need to follow up quite soon.
The Song - Hobo Train
Thanks again for the comments and listen....  you have a very good ear!!


Cheers,

Gary

Gary,

Thank you for providing the YouTube link to "The Song".    To my ears Hobo Train sounds like the group Little Big Town or Lady A with this song.  Excellent song, production and video.  I'm sure it was a lot of work but well worth the effort.
