what about those fabulous "Rock-Chick" backing vocals? Inspired.

Peter - some very lovely guitar work in there. So effective, so in tune with the feel of
the track. SO professional in it's execution.

Bud - Excellent mix. Clear, but still powerful.

Oh, and great cajon playing too!

Loved the whole thing.

Thanks Rog appreciate those comments about the guitar parts.

Thanks Scott, thanks for mentioning the mix...it's sparse but took a bit of time. Glad you liked the BGV experiment! And yep Peter nailed the vibe big time.

Peter's guitar - a perfect compliment.

Thanks floyd for the kind words...and thanks for getting us to think more about BGV's and their mixing. And, yeah, hoping that fox is on the run...

Thanks so much for sharing smile


Thanks Deryk. Glad we could post this after you’d commented on the lack of reggae in the forum. It was timely!

Janice's Background vocals are wonderful.
I was carried away.
As David said, it was so incredibly well mixed.
Peter also has a very good atmosphere.
Wonderful collaboration!
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Thank you Tom. Janice was tickled you mentioned her percussion and we were glad you liked the claps on the 3. We felt that gave it a little more of the reggae groove. Perfection on the mix? Well, coming from you that makes me think maybe I just ougta stop right now!

Cool.
I'd have loved a little more accented reggae guitar rhythm but hey.
The guitar licks reminded me of the augmentation done at Island Studios on Marley's Catch A Fire.
Cool.


Cheers

Thanks Ray. We appreciate it and I'm sure Peter does also re the guitar. Yeah that accented rhythm could be stronger but this is only the third attempt at reggae over the years. I tried to enhance a bit with the claps but if we attempt another I think we'll immerse ourselves in some classic reggae early on smile

Thanks
