Description
Rachel started writing Sweet and Low...for a blonde haired, blue eyed crush. When she played it for me in Puerto Rico, I insisted she finish it, she did, and so we recorded it. The second song from our second album. Enjoy!

Hey, a Great Groove..
I liked this a lot. You gave a great vocal performance in
this catchy tune. Way to go! Glad you finished the song.

Hey, a Great Groove..
Thanks! We really worked the vocals a lot, recorded, listened, thought about
it for a few days, scratched some, recorded some more. That process might
go on a bit longer too. I'd like to build and fill out the ending, double chorus,
and perhaps let the vocals stand more alone toward the begining.

much reverb on the vocals and acoustic guitar.

Hey, love that you checked out the site! An interesting thing happened with
the vocals on this, I used the same stereo delay filter on two vocal takes, with
a resultant effect I really enjoy. However it seems outside of my studio
environment it is masking the enuciation.

catchy,
upbeat song. Simple chord progressions and melody. Sort
of reminds me of beach music.

Muscular female vocals, almost aggressive...maybe due to
it being so "up front" in the mix. Very effective tho'.

I would have liked to hear just a bit more melodic variety
in this song; the "B" material sounded almost identical.

Overall, very well-produced and performed.

catchy,
Very interesting comments given the production process for this song!
Rachel did a second vocal track in a much more "agressive" than usual style,
which we both quite liked and mixed almost equally with the original lead
track. Indeed, the short "bridge" is very similar to the chorus. I may write
some additional music for that part.

Dustin was wearing a Twizzlers t-shirt the night we met. I thought he looked interesting so I asked him to light my cigarette. We talked for all of 15 minutes before we crossed the subject of music, that we both did and would, and so it went. Ther... [see more]
