Your voices go great together. I like this a lot. No retro, no specific genre, no cheap tricks, just…new. And good.

Thanks man! Yeah..I think retro and cheap tricks is really who I am though…lol

I really like working with Kaer’s voice, it’s almost like an effect the way she really cuts through in a mix. I really like how a lot of her stuff does avoid specific genres too. I always liked what John Medeski calls it ..”homeless music”

Yeah, that was indeed a good advice from colab. It’s even better now. I agree with him that it’s one of the best things here in a while. Really.

I think this is the second time you’ve sung with Kaer, unless I’ve missed one? It’s a fantastic combination. And, naturally, the backing track is superlative.

Thanks Ciggi!! I think I have one or two more with her but not published yet.

Great! I love the harmonies, the piano-guitar interaction and the slide effects. The duet form is intriguing, it was some time that I hadn’t heard Kaer’s voice and I’m also happy of this.

The new version is even better. I downloaded it in case you should change your mind about it!

lol, I’m really bad about that. I’m pretty happy with this one now. I tightened up the percussion yesterday. Glad you like it : )

Hey now. This is just lovely. The music and vocals are pure excellence. All elements work together so well - like how the slide guitar complements the soundscape of the bass/piano/guitar. Beautiful.

I think the fast drums are a bit out of place with this track though - both in mixing and the style. Maybe if they were half the current tempo?

That said, this track is still one of the best things I’ve heard in a while.

Thanks man, that’s sound advice. I’ll probably revisit this one tonight.

Man you have good ears. I just tried listening to it without the drums, but I left the percussion track in..I like it way better. I’m leaving both versions in the downloads, but without the drums will be the preview.

Thanks man.

Wow - thanks for going through the effort of doing this. Really appreciate it. I would ed-pick in a heartbeat.

Thanks again. I feel like I just got a Christmas wish granted. :)

Thanks man, I’m glad you pointed it out. Good to get fresh ears on something sometimes. I think the percussion during the guitar solo needs some tightening up. I’ll probably tweak that a bit sometime this week.

Oh yes - this tweaked version brings out the soul of the song so that it’s even more beautiful. Colab’s quite useful sometimes.
