Tongue in cheek tune for country star wannabees, who think that just moving to Nashville will put their name in lights.

Clever lyrics! A few recording/performance issues, though. Lead goes between on- and off-key (notice it most with harmony). Nice guitar/mandolin work, but the stereo field is hard panned with not much (but the lead voice) anywhere near the middle. The drums sound mechanical and way back. Think that with a re-record of the lead vocal and some changes in the mixing, would sound much better.

Thanks, I will work on it with those changes in mind.

good song idea and fun lyric.....track sounds very muddy to my ear ...perhaps vocal should be centred and tracks mixed a bit hotter. Also the acoustic guitar in the right channel sounds a bit out of tune ...I would try to get the vocals up front and a bit clearer .

I appreciate the feedback. I'm still trying to get a handle on this software, and with the mixdown process. I will use your ideas on my remix of this song. Thanks

As A general listener to music I can say that this is listenable. Loving the song and I don't even listen to Country as my main source of music! Loving the concept.

On a side note, are you up for collabing with some Hip Hop on this song? I feel I can keep with the subject matter and we can make something truly great. Even if our mix isn't!!!

Although I didn't re-record the vocals, I changed the drums, and mixed it down to mono. See if this is an improvement to my previous mix. Thanks

[nykoteen]

Aside from the vocals I would say this is a killer track! I especially love what you did with the drums, gives the song more presence and build.

Okay, I redid the vocals and guitar, and re-mixed once more. I also used my SM57 for vocals instead of my condensor mike. Hopefully, I'm on the right track. Thanks for the feedback.
