Hello fellow Gearslutz. I'm not big on talking myself up, but this was a 16 year journey and hopefully it will keep some of you motivated. i know this forum has picked me up more than once.
I work in the country market and have a song sitting at number 11 on the charts. It's my buddy Jamey Johnson with a song titled "In Color". Please check it out and let me know what you think.
The great thing about this record is the way we approached it. No vocal tunning, very few overdubs, and not loud at all. Most of the lead vocals were live as we tracked. I am so tired of the current country radio. So far we have got nothing but great response from fans and critics alike. I know there are few country fans around here, but i would like your input on the feel of this record, as i am very proud of this one. It also got me a spot in the October issue of Mix magazine. They were shocked when i told them there wasn't a mic on the record over $200, except for the vocal mic.
Thanks for listening, and thanks for a great outlet for the community.
T.W.
