Eagles-inspired instrumental for this listing ...

[PeterD]

Hey everyone!!

Do I have a shot with Agave Road?
What's it need? What should be removed?
Taxi hasn't been kind to me lately ...

Thanks for your pro ears and input!!!!

Hey Peter! I certainly don't have pro ears (workin' on it!) but for what it's worth...I definitely think you've captured the referenced artists sound with the chord progression and melody, but for me, perhaps the production is little too bright. Sorry I can't be more specific Blame it on my old untrained ears

Thank you Lesley!!

By "bright" do you mean, too much Hi EQ? Or, ... Activity? Cheery mood?

I do agree, I should "warm" things a little (give an older, vinyl quality)

To me it's kinda straddling the soft rock/smooth jazz line. I think it's worth a fiver to find out what the screeners think, it's close. Maybe a bit more variation in the drum pattern, some rolls? A bit of more distorted guitar here and there might push it more toward rock as well.

Good luck!

You're welcome Peter and yep I'd maybe roll off some of the high end on the acoustic guitar to make it a smidge warmer n darker

[PeterD]

Thanks for listening Ethan!!

I definitely know what you're saying! My inner rocker wants to get "rough" on it with heavier guitars and drums, but my gut (and the listing) is asking me to keep it easy-going. Lying Eyes & Peaceful Easy Feeling have pretty boring, unchanging drums (I think).

Decisions ... Decisions ...

Yes I think your song has a great shot at this listing.
