All the Wild Horses

[MorrisrownSal]

Chilly and rainy day here. Melancholy. All the Wild Horses about fits the mood. This is a stunningly beautiful Ray La Montagne song (that is... if you listen to Ray sing it).

Another good one, Sal. Love your voice.

 

To me, that song cries out for flat-picking in addition to strumming. Might be time to over-dub a second guitar.

I'll give that a shot Nick... and thanks!

Cool song. Love the depth of sound on the vocal, just right .

I love that sort of song.Beautifully performed and recorded

[MorrisrownSal]

Thanks guys.

 

I just tried adding a track with my Gretsch boxcar in open G.

 

Better? Is the track too loud in the mix?

I don't think the new track is too loud. It's a good accent, and accentuates the general loneliness of the song. I might play with a bit more. Maybe the slide needs to be even a bit more upfront, with the strumming supporting it, rather than the other way around.

 

Now you're talking production, which is often more challenging than the recording itself. But also a lot of fun.
