The British Steelies Society

Hi All

I'm just finishing off my covers album (or musical autobiography as it's turned out), and then I'm going to start the impossible task of finding a label...but I'm gonna try anyway. This will be the 2nd track on it, the first track being Katie Dear by the Louvins. This one's Buck. I see no point in wasting time replicating the classic Bakersfield sound...as you'll hear. In spite of that, Moon is still one of my all-time fav steelies. And Wynn Stewart (rather than Buck) is one of my all-time fav singers, but that's another track.



Enjoy

Very nicely done, Gary. I think the slower feel + mandolins (?) add a lot to the song!

Thanks Zak. Yeah, I was in two minds about the tempo, but kept on with it. Then the mix sounded a bit flat and dull so I almost gave up on it altogether. Then I did what I sometimes do in such situations: I added two mandolins, far left and far right, in order to broaden the sound stage and brighten up proceedings. It sometimes works! I'll see if I still like it tomorrow.
