500 Miles - Hedy West/Bobby Bare Cover

[Mojo1961]

Hi, this is my first song that I recorded on my BR-600 . And the first time I recorded my singing so I am bit nervous

Recorded all on my BR-600 with my Yamaha AEX-500 guitar in standard tuning including the slide solo (which needs a little work on the timing, but I just had to try the slide thing .

Thanks for having a listen.

Nice first post. I've always liked that song, though the Peter, Paul & Mary version is the one I'm most familiar with. Anyway, good job.

[FuzzFace]

This is a really well balanced production, all the parts compliment each other well.
I would maybe lower the solo a tad, but I like the raw vibe a lot.
I wish I had your singing voice.  The reverb on the vocals creates just the right ambience.

Not familiar with the original, but I love the overall melancholic feel, and can relate to the theme being a nomad myself.

Impressive job and a great first post!

Alright brother, this is a great post and being your first well that's awesome. You've mixed it real well, I agree with fuzz on solo but every things very tastefully done, and you vocals sound great!
Rock on!

[Redler]

This is stunning version, Mojo! Your voice is just great!!

Hi Martin, welocme to the site.

Not familiar with the song but well done on your first post, looking forward to your next offering!!

Martin, great first post! The guys are right, the solo is a tad high in the mix, but overall this is a really good cover. It's not a song I'm familiar with, which always makes covers a great listen for me. The vocals sounded good. There's a very genuine quality to you voice.

[Greeny]

Never heard this song before, so it sounds like an original to me! And a very good one too. It has a nice folky / celtic flavour.

I agree with the comments on taking some volume off the solo, and you should try panning the guitars a bit wider - it would sound really nice.

Welcome aboard.

Finally got to listen and this is really good for your post Martin.
Better than mine. I haven't heard this song in years and you
Have a great voice and that's good guitar for not playing too long.
I agree with greeny and spread it out across your stereo field
And you will sound even more pro!! Excellent man!!

A good first post Martin! I've always like this song and you do it some real justice.....good one.
