Final version
One of my heroes. Willie McTell was blind from birth and travelled all over the south in the thirties at a time when many people would never go more than 20 miles from their home.
Plus nobody sings the blues quite like him…

i'm still getting used to this new mic and finding my voice sounds different with or i'm singing differently because of it. So .. feedback appreciated, and if you like it…
very nice,,i like it fine,, vocals, and music seem to fit quite well together in style and mix,,, i guess in some part it depends on what your trying to achieve,, but as an outsider to the process, i think it's quite nice

With all these recordings, this year's RPM even more than last, you are aiming straight at a deep love and appreciation I have for the music of this period. Usually when people go for this sound, it comes across to me as either having a gross modern sheen to it that makes me want to vomit, or they're being overly reverential, killing the great old tunes in the process.
How you manage to straddle that divide and produce something that apes the genre without feeling like a copy while also not feeling the need to force it somewhere it doesn't need to be...is beyond me, and I'm all the more amazed for that. I wish I could come close to this sort of music-making fidelity.
Needless to say (?) I adore this track, absolutely adore it.

it needs a fiddle but it has a mandolin, a chicken banjo and some excellent backing vocalists

thanks for the kind words and the feedback guys and gals - i'm not sure you can even find my voice with a spade, tho ....
i shall have a play around with the Eq and see if i can make head or tail of it. It's not something i've used much to tell the truth (and why not tell the truth once in a while eh?) so i might actually learn something.

I've noticed the Yeti has a lot of midrange, so I've been adjusting eq for that, like GN said. It's actually perfect for this style, type of song, sounds like an old 78, without the cracks and pops.

Sonically it's very good. Very clear and a good mix. Maybe it has a bit of harshness that could be EQ'd out but it might be hard to pinpoint. Once you do then that should be good from then on to always use that EQ. I would experiment until you get the sound you like. Still, it's a very good recording. And, another good song!

i'm not sure if i like this song. it has a ruff sort of flow and recording. i was thinking of adding some mellow synth backing to help it sound full but i don't want to start that now, so i wont.
you tell me what you want
you tell what you need
i cant give you nothing honey
but this pretty little seed
where has the sun gone
and is it gone forever
will it come back someday
should we just give it some time
i ask you what…
you are like the rain that falls with the snow
or is it the other way around
i dont know
all i know is i love you
and cant get above you
it is driving with no place to go
the muscle and the bone i find
that keeps my heart in line
just…

I agree with kavin, it does lend itself to an old 78, but i like it. I think it fits well for the style of music.

Digging your voice with a big ole spade.
Sonically it's very good. Very clear and a good mix. Maybe it has a bit of harshness that could be EQ'd out but it might be hard to pinpoint.

love it, now thats all i'm going to say about that
Cute song, and I think your new mic is fine, you sound great!
you are a real blues man, i love this.

Hup!
Hey that's perfect for my late night reverie
Randy Newman, eat your heart out!
Great vocal! great lyrics and a wonderful supporting ensemble. Faved.
these are great mixes, Tim. Love this one, too.
smudged it with my foot, covered it up with leaves but came back to see what I believed. Love this line.
This is an amazing track.
