Two things from me. (and my dad)

[propman]

Ok guys. First off, here is a cover of a Cash song called Folsum Prison Blues. I have been trying to get my dad to sing and play for a while, and he did after a really long wait. Here you go.

On a serious (or more serious) note, here is about a 40 second vocal harmony that I did about an issue that my best friend faced a while back, that struck me hard as well. Not directly, but it made me feel really bad. It it called Christmas Never Came.

I would love your thoughts. Thanks.

In response to the Cash cover: Like the recording, just maybe tone down a bit on the compression - maybe you should just adjust the threshhold on the compressors to get it to sound smoother.

Great vox on the other clip you could maybe sell it to Disney.

I don't know about Disney. The subject matter is a bit dark.

Cool...a double feature!

Great tune to cover. Your dad's voice is obviously a lot higher than cash's, but most people's are. He did a really good job on this. The music sounds pretty authentic - I was pleasantly surprised by the accurate little solo riff. I figured you or he would skip that or modernize it, but it is really an indelible part of this tune I think.

I dig the brush sound on the drums (I think they're brushes?) but it also has a peculiar sharpness to it unlike what I'd expect from brushes. Anyway, a cool retro rhythm section. Bass has a nice prison cafeteria kind of thump to it. Makes me want to bang my silverware and demand more free time in the yard.

The vocal piece is nicely done. Appropriately melancholy. Obviously quite short...not sure if this is a precursor for something else or is this it?

You know, disney does dark...didn't bambi die?

Christmas - it's a good piece - nicely structured harmonies.
My only quibble is that "never" has become impotent due to it's misuse. It used to mean "not ever" - now it's generally means "didn't".
Folsum is pretty cool except for the the 1st 8 seconds being quite disconnected from the rest - the intro of drums & bass really separates them.
