The song is "head for the setting sun".
I've lurked here on and off for a few years, and even posted a few times under a different name, but never felt I had anything to contribute or anything worth critiquing (although I did post one song a long time ago). As a result of this, I never really got into the whole recording community thing. Sure I've learned things from lurking around the forums, but without something to apply this knowledge to, it was pointless for me to waste time on it.
Although I've loved recording almost as long as I've been playing music, I never had the right equipment; thus, shitty sounding songs and no where to go with them (can't polish a turd right?). Well, as it turns out I've been fortunate enough to finally have enough money to buy some decent recording equipment. Decent equipment equals decent sounding recordings, right? I really don't know, but that's the goal here.
Why the bullshit background info, you ask? Perhaps I don't want to come off as that guy who posts his songs as a thinly veiled attempt at advertising his new tunes who you then never hear from again. I'm here to learn to make better recordings. I'm more after criticisms about the sound of the recordings rather than the quality of the songs themselves, although comments about either are certainly welcome. So, please, have a listen.
Edit: Per bigbubba's recommendation, I cut the focus down to one song.
