Reference Track Suggestions
I'm back in the studio and was hoping someone might be able to suggest a reference track(s) or artist that might sound like this tune.
Still has some editing and then mixing to be done on it, but I can never find a proper reference track.
Thanks,
Harry

Hopefully this link works

Re: Reference Track Suggestions
My first thought was John Mellencamp.

Re: Reference Track Suggestions
Harry - are you asking for a reference for the singing style, the music, and/or the mix? Or all of it together? I mean, Billy Joel, Springsteen... just depends on what you're after...
When I'm referencing, I try to narrow it down and find specific song references, if possible.. although always harder to do...

References for mixing/mastering purposes. Ideally, if a particular song comes to you, I'd love to know, otherwise I'll dig into the artists more recent releases, or a re-mastered release.
Ideally there might be a more recent artist with a similar formula/style, though they are probably few and far between. I can only think of the Foo Fighters, but their sound is more aggressive, and they rarely use any keyboards in their music.
Thanks for your suggestions.

Re: Reference Track Suggestions
Brian Setzer came to mind when I was listening to it, but as others have said there are many artists who break out into a fun rockabilly-inflected tune on occasion.

Re: Reference Track Suggestions
Wow, rockabilly never even entered my mind, but I suppose with what the drums are doing, I get you.
Actually listened to an album released last year by Uriah Heep. I have some albums by them from back in the 70's, and heard their name mentioned regarding a tour. Anyway, I was impressed by some of the songs I heard. Bunch of old guys still know how to write and record some good music. There were a couple of tunes that might work with some of the other songs I'll need references for, and maybe a song for my Birthday Wish tune.
Other suggestions are still quite welcome, and thanks for the replies!

Re: Reference Track Suggestions
Once you get any suggestion, you can Google "similar artists [name]". A number of sites come up with ideas. I also like this site: www.music-map.com.
