Magne, I think if she used a dynamnic mic and if you took the reverb off of everything this would automatically have a more rustic/simple vibe (juno was a great reference) which I think could really work for the song. Maybe just a very slight slapback panned to one side for the vocals. So slight that you can really only hear it when the vox is soloed, Mixed in the track it would add body but not polish. right now there seems to be too much presence on the vox for the rest of the track also. A dynamic would take care of that too but you'll have to highpass & add some upper mids probablly.

It's good to hear that someone takes the time to comp tracks before reaching for the crutches. tell her I think she's a hero.

Magne,

I really love the vocals. I suppose there might be some mixing tricks to do yet, but I'm not skilled enough to know what they would be. I love it just they way it is.

I do hear some issues with the whistle. Not sure if it's the breathe on the mic or what, but there's a hiss or something that follows the whistle.

Maybe this song would be better with less. I would like to hear it with just the picked guitar. The tremolo guitar, or whatever it's called, for me doesn't fit the piece. Seems like if you're going to have additional guitars and other instrumentation, they should be more country sounding. But I really, really love the vocals and the picked guitar, the rest I could do without.

I think you've got a real gem here. I sure hope you get it placed.

10 years after.. I decided not to sit on it any longer and put it out as a digital release for my online portfolio of tracks available for licensing.

I thought it would be cool to post as a conclusion on this peer-to-peer thread. So far, the song has made a number of playlists and got some radio play, who knows..

Thanks to all who did post!
