That was excellent. Strong vocal and harmonies. I liked that when you were singing about things nautical, the accordion came in, which is an instrument used often in shanties. Great connection. Yeoman work!

Such a cool vocal. Violin was very nice. Well done Thanks. I'm partial to those RT fiddles. Really well done - love your vocals on this, and the fiddle was an excellent addition  I've never visited the Dakotas but this tune makes me curious to check it out. I have visited the prairies in Canada, and must say there's a gentle and subtle beauty over there. Thanks for sharing! I've been to Canada's east and west coasts, as it were, but not to the interior. I imagine it's similar to the Dakotas in many ways. Thanks for the listen.

This is an excellent song, your vocals stand out in a great way!!! good use of BIAB, in this. Cliff I appreciate that. Scott,
I love the sound of this... Great song and vocal.
Excellent mix as well.
Bob Thanks. Glad you liked it. I struggled with this one mightily. Man, is it ever cool to see you back around!
And what a re-entry. ALL the RT's sound great. Very nice the way you weaved the fiddle in and out and we like the added cello and accordion texture.
As always the lead vocal/harmony is excellent as is the write. Janice never fails to mention the soul in your voice.
We hear this as a fine "longing" tune without being overly angst ridden...just convincing. A sweet spot to hit for sure.
Keep 'em coming!!!
J&B Gosh, thank you. Praise from you two is music to my ears.

What? Couldn't you just go sailing in Dakota?
Lovely lyric, very visual. Really strong melody as well. The backing works, simply. I enjoyed the listen a lot.

Really beautiful song!! Love the sentiment, love the melody. As much as I appreciate what you did with it, I would like to hear it a bit slower with little or no percussion and piano as the main instrument. Wonderful song!! Glad to see you back around again Scott! Take care. Greg

Hey Scott,
cool song, strong vocals and good melody
especially the harmony
I like the drums a lot
enjoyed the listen,
Kenny
Thanks. Glad you liked it. That was excellent. Strong vocal and harmonies. I liked that when you were singing about things nautical, the accordion came in, which is an instrument used often in shanties. Great connection. Yeoman work! Thank you for making that connection! That's exactly what I was hoping to convey with those RT's. What? Couldn't you just go sailing in Dakota?
Lovely lyric, very visual. Really strong melody as well. The backing works, simply. I enjoyed the listen a lot. Yeah, family and friends were a bit shocked, but the sea was calling. Hey, thanks for the spin and your kind words.

This is so genuinely beautiful. The melody flows so naturally and the background tracks are just perfect as accompaniment. Love the accordion, love the fiddle interludes. I live in London, UK, and we don't have as much of this kind of music over here than I'd like, but this would never be out of place on any radio station, I'd say. Thanks for sharing - loved it.

Your vocals along with the song's arrangement and production are superb. As I'm sitting here listening, I find that everything about this is very, very engaging. You've created a wonderful song.

Glad to see you back around again Scott! Take care. Greg Thanks, Greg. I think I tried piano at some point. I decided on those shakers early on. I was going for the 'drums of Polynesia' with those toms at the second verse. Not sure I got them right, but then I opted for drums to keep the song moving. Appreciate the listen and your feedback. Well, I like this one too! Man, I am in the company of some really good artists here. I thank you!!! Thanks for giving it a spin. Great song. Superb storytelling vocals--nice resonance in your voice. I like the instrumentation with the accordion and fiddle. Superb storytelling...? Don't know what to say to that except thank you.

Oh, my. Thank you so much! I don't really know what kind of music this is. I'm always at a loss when it comes to describing my original songs. Folk or Americana, I suppose, but I'll leave that to the listener. And speaking of listener, thanks again for that kind review.

Noel Engaging? What more can songwriters hope to achieve? Thank you, Noel. Great stuff Scott. I just love the drums and percussion parts, it's chunky, different and SO right. What a superb voice you have. Superbly put together and engineered as well. Loved it. John It takes me a long time to put a production together, even with this amazing software. So much trial and error and re-takes and edits and reference mixes and adjustments, by the time I think I'm finished I'm about ready to deep-six the whole thing. So when someone listens and thinks I got it right, well, that makes it all worthwhile. Thank you.
