HI Jim ...
A great old country classic sound .. and that's a good thing in my book. I grew up playing what is now called classic country. I simply say it's classic. This a great song and loved it all the way through. The pedal steel was perfectly placed.
Your vocal reminded me a bit of Hank Locklin. That, too, is not a bad thing!
Yes, the drums are a bit busy, but it didn't bother me. Gives it a bit of a unique twist for the genre. Loved it!
Best to you ...
Alan Thanks Alan... I always look forward to your comments & support... Like many others... You really make this User Showcase forum a success... Hank Locklin... Now that is indeed a high compliment... Thanks!
Jim

Good song, Jim! Nice lyric and I like your vocal as always. I hear the drum thing that some mentioned, it sounds like a double hit on the kick drum. I've had that problem myself from time to time with realdrums, it's as if when the track is looped sometimes the kick at the beginning doesn't line up properly with the kick at the end so you get the double kick, one a fraction of a second after the other. If that is the problem you should be able to see it in your DAW if you zoom in on the drum track. Only way to fix as far as I know is to cut and paste a good kick into the part that has the problem. Having said all that it didn't take away from my enjoyment of your song

Jim,
You have a knack for the classic sounding melody and your vocals have a sincere feel that can`t be faked!
I like the lyrics too- soothing as they should be.
As I was listening and enjoying,I thought I heard what Roy Orbison might do with a song like this- its that good a song.
Robert

Sounds like a classic BITD country hit. I wanted the beautiful vocal to stand out more, not necessarily volume, but maybe eq'd or compressed more. Perhaps an LA-2A plugin if you didn't try that. Thanks Bob... Your support & comments always means a lot... Hold to your wish... You can never tell what will happen

This is beautiful!!! Really beautiful. I think that the drums (their speed, etc.) add to this, not detract from it, so I personally wouldn't change a thing. Made me smile, listen and tap along - you really have an elegant way of writing and delivering your songs that really carries them to the listener, I feel ... excellent job!!! :-) Thanks James... You're making the buttons pop off my shirt  ... Initially I had a simple bass snare beat on the drums... But each time I listened to that version... I kept hearing the beats I finally gave up... And added to the finished song.

Hello Jim,
This is a typically 'Jim'-song!
Subtle, gentle, sweet.
And not only a very steady voice, but a very nice use of a pedal steel as well!
For the sake of making our songs better, I searched for something for you to improve. Couldn't find any...
Liked it much,
Hans Thanks Hans... I kind compliments & support always raise my spirits... I think I'll have drink to you !
Jim

Dear Jim,
what a nice love song that is - is it OK if I say; 'without any frills'? You always manage to convince me with the dedication your vocals show - love your voice anyway.
Some mentiioned the drums - well, maybe it's not typical for country (you know I' anything but an expert in that field), but I seem to like them that way.
And I've discovered my love for the steel in general, so I liked it a lot in your song, too.
Very, very nice, Jim.
Take care,
Stefan Thanks Stefan... For your wonderful comments & support... BTW... I am eagerly waiting for your next production!
Jim

But not for this situation... However I'll save the answer & give others a chance to guess.
