Gators new tune

BlueGator · May 2006

Just posted a new tune, classic rock, check it out, as usual, I am the cook, the bottlewasher, the waiter, the maitre'd, in other word, I do everything on this, lead vocals and harmony.

Hey everyone, I just listened to this tune this morning, and it really sucked, particularly the mix, I've made some adjustments, so try Southern Man 2 at:

Very well done..
Great playin' and singn'... 8)

But I got to tell you dude...
Being originally from Mississippi and now a Texan...
Everytime I hear this tune I think of Skynards line in \"Sweet Home Alabama\".... 8)

\"Hope Neil Young will remember...Southern man don't need him around anyhow\"...

Tal, I grew up listening to Skynnrd, and I'm familiar with their opinion of Neil Young, and I really don't like the guy, but sometimes you have to give the devil his due, he does write some good songs.

Hey Blue Gator,
I listened to both versions. The re-mix is definitely better. The harmony vocals sound really good (I say with envy because I can't sing to save my life).
If I could make a constructive suggestion FWIW. When you make a recording without a drum or percussion track, try using a click track. It will help you keep in time throughout the song, and then just mute it when you do the mix down.

Keep up the good work - I look forward to hearing more come out of the sunshine state 8)

Appreciate the tip Insideout......I agree with your assessment.

Hmmm...Not to get into some big politcal debate, but I've always been confused a little on the whole Skynrd/Neil Young thing...Crosby Stills Nash & Young do an \"anti-racism\" song (you know, the whole \"sic the police dogs, shoot the fire hoses, \"no nigger will EVER go to state univerity\" Gov Wallace- thing)...then Skynrd do a backlash song against anti-racism?...dont get me wrong, I've always been a big Skynrd fan (the guitar in \"I Know a Little\"!!!...whoa!)...I just dont know what to make of that whole thing.

My whole thing with Young and this tune is how can a guy from Canada (Probably never spent a day in the South) write a tune called \"Southern Man\" with such scathing lyrics.. :?

Skynard got it right. 8)
Neil got it wrong. (IMHO) :twisted:

Just finished a week long vacation in Copiah county Mississippi.
Great time... Shootn', Fishin', eating boiled peanuts, and crawfish.. 8)

Even got to visit this cool place..
Spent an entire afternoon there and just had a hoot. 8)

Southern people are the most friendliest, hospitable people in the world..
I've traveled all over the US and Canada and I've found all people to be cool and hospitable once you get to know them.. 8)

Even an old country boy like Tal has a hoot in NYC and the people there are really warm and friendly. (Contrary to popular belief)

Mr. Young should be wondering about who's profiling who.. (IMHO)

See Ya,
Tal.. 8)
