My apologies to all you Country Guy's I just had to have a go, tears and all.

Please excuse the Anglo-American accent

Col,

I must say, your voice, and therefore your music, sounds much more "natural", letting the listener hear "you" and not mainly effects.

You have great pitch, a pleasant sounding voice, and your word pronunciation is spot on...all important to a singer, especially in Country music, which depends so much on the lyrics and the message. I've always thought the definition of "Country music" as "three chords and the truth" was pretty accurate, and this song was written when Country was still "Country".

In any case, you certainly have no reason to disguise your voice with effects.

Great work on one of Country music's finest ballads.

Ian

Col by far your best recordings to date !!! I knew you could do it,

Thank you for sharing your work

Col, nice job...Is that the G70, you are playing?

Sure is Fran, does it sound OK to you?

Suits me just fine now I haven't got to move it, well, only on the odd occasion.

Thank you Donny and Ian, who said you can't teach an old dog new trick's, seriously much of the improvement is after getting a bashing from you guy's for which I am eternally grateful.

Col

Hi, Col.

I can't disagree with the others. A beautiful job on a classic country tune. One straight out of my childhood, too.

Thanks for the music (and the memories),
Dan

If you ever need to move the G70 out with the trash Col, I will come over and give you a lift.... don't want you hurting yourself, truss me Col... I don't think you can get valves(tubes) for them any more...

Thanks' Dan much appreciated.

Tony: The old thing sounds OK to me but my ears aren't what they used to be. Apart from that it holding down the Lodge in all these high winds we're getting.

Donny: Please stop posting Mr Jackson and Mr Jones I don't need the competition. I can cope with Don and Gary but those two, well, It just ain't fair.

Col

Col .....watch the BEST and use it as inspiration

Great Col! It blows my version away!
That's the number one-selling country song of all time!

Col... I made a few adjustments to this great song hope you enjoy..added the mod & eq, tempo etc..

nice job Fran !! G70? Great song!

Great job, Col. Lookout Nashville - Col's on his way!

Gary

Cheers' Don, Donny, Fran, Gary glad y'all enjoyed it.

Col

Loved it Col. Great job. Was it too big ( over 6 MB ) to attach to this thread?

Thanks' Nigel, the file was 6.5mb to big I'm afraid.

Kind Regards
Col

When I got home from last nights gig in a snow storm I realized that the mod in Col's song that I played around with previously should have been in the 3rd verse not 2nd...
so I corrected it here.

sorry

Hi Donny

That version sounds more natural than the first one, thank you.

Save's me doing a re-record. LOL

I'm just working on "You've got a Friend" from James Brown, sounds quite good so far.

Col

Very interesting to hear the different takes by everyone. All good!
