For a country guy you always have a great feel for these jazzy pop things. Really well sung. The processing works and the mix sounds good. Nicely written and the thing I like best is the outstanding chord progression. I do hope Di is feeling better and able to rest comfortably. Best to y'all, Tom That's exactly what I was thinking!! Give my best to Di as well. Nice work here Alan!! Great changes! Take care. Greg

We toss a few songs to Songtradr but I'm not gonna bend to any modern trends regarding placement of the vocal in the mix.
We are of the school that if you have something to say the vocal should be out front and if you're gonna say it with soul, irrespective of genre, there is even more reason to have it out front.
We love soulful vocals from Billie Holiday to Gregg Allman...why would anybody want to hide that?
You had something to say, you said it with soul, and it is sitting in the mix right where it oughta.
Pardon the ole guy rant. We enjoyed the tune.
Well done!
J&B

Alan, man that was sweet! You are an endless stream of songwriting talent. Very smooth and enjoyable tune! I think that reverb I noticed on the snare really gives this song the push that carries it right along! Thanks, Torrey

I'm delighted you enjoyed it and appreciating you letting me know. I really enjoy playing around with chord combinations and trying to work some of the more unexpected ones into some of my songs. I'm a big fan of the sax. Glad you enjoyed it! Merry Christmas. Alan

I think that reverb I noticed on the snare really gives this song the push that carries it right along! Thanks, Torrey Hi Torrey, I have the flu so my comments will be brief. Thank you so much. Coming from a talent such as you, that means a lot. I'm more than delighted you liked it! And yes, I usually put a little reverb on the drums ... particularly when the snare is more evident. it gives them a warmth and expands their dynamics in the backing tracks. Al least, that how it sounds to me. Thanks again and wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas. Alan
