A Merle Haggard Cover Made At Home:

[Inspector #20]

Hope all of you guys are doing well...

Things are good here. We are still working full-time, but our focus has shifted from music to PSA's and telephone message notifications for businesses, and we are busy as one might imagine. I decided to try out a new PC based drum program and record this entirely by myself at home. I am even singing the falsetto female harmonies. The solo is doubled, so listen with headphones...there's actually two completely different solos being played at the same time... Acoustic Guitar is a cheap Harmonia, my $60.00 Ibanez bass and my Jackson San Dimas I got from Adrian.

There ain't nothing trick or high dollar here.

Here's wishing you all the best....

Wow! Really liked it. Can't believe that's you singing the harmony part. That is stunning.

Bit of a departure from what you usually post. Sounded good.

I do a lot of vocal characterizations, so it's really not tough to sing in a falsetto that fits the song, plus, when you have multi-track capability, you can just stack them up!!!!

But, thank you for the kind words!!!!

Now this I gotta see!!!!

HAHA singing as the bearded lady?

 

[chilipeppermaniac]

Also, I understand the vocal imitations, but how can a 6' 200lb man sound so much like a real girl's voice? That is some feat.

I've even done female voice characterizations on some projects. No joke.

Harmonies are really easy. I couldn't do it singing lead though...

Hey you have me beat. I can’t do melody or high harmony to save myself. Not that I can’t sing the notes and fake the falsetto...... but my natural voice is bass/baritone which I nail. Just not what one is looking for in a lead singer.

And...... not a big C&W fan. Generally don’t listen to it on purpose. If someone else puts it on the radio, I listen and don’t make comments. Music is music. Regarding the tunes you tend to post,.... yes, I prefer them. But I listened to this one all the way thru. Enjoyed it. Toe tapping the whole time.
