Can't go wrong with those Tex-mexy high string thirds.
Mike Thanks for the compliments Michael. You nailed it Michael. (Smiling as I write.) The well trodden thirds were "the money" in this song. I am going to go back into the mix and pump them up so that they are more prominent during the verse. Question...Does this song lend itself to your embellishment? Hi Martin, Very much so. I am passionate about much of the music that comes out of Texas, and that's an understatement. I'd say about 2/3rds of the music I listen to and the artists I love hail from there. There's a certain "wide-openness" and stark beauty to it, no matter how overtly different the styles are on the surface. The ballads off of Tom Russell's great "Blood and Candle Smoke" album would be a nice template for one way to produce "By You." Give a listen to "Finding You" to get an idea of one way to go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vTHExRYygIAnd "Guadalupe": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xDQyLKaQO0&index=10&list=PLjqzGcs5b5MWOYjCozZCt4tSFsp7dVUgoWith Guadalupe," the combination of those high-string thirds on the acoustic guitar with the accordion just tear my heart apart. I think "By You" is leaning somewhere in between these two productions..and I could give you something like that, from the heart, as that "sound" and production style is very close to my heart. My main thing is to be receptive to your ideas, and try to bring them to life, but I think, judging from your demo here, that we are thinking along similar lines.. Mike Sent PM. Thanks and looking forward to what you do.
