I Wrote and Recorded a tune, but i'm not exactly sure what genre is falls into. Give it a listen and help me out. Is it Country Swing or Traditional? Or ?

"Tonight's The Night"

Jim,
I may be only speaking for myself, but I have a problem with sites that want to know about me just to visit....I don't like "signing up" to listen to a song-I get enough spam and unsolicited email as it is and just the fact that as soon as I got to the page pop ups started popping up wanting me to buy stuff. As soon as I signed up my email address would be free game for more and more garbage. So I haven't signed up....
If you email me the mp3's (I want to hear the other one also) I will gladly post them in my storage area and provide a link so all can hear without having to "join the family"
I have provided free space to others on the forum for this very thing.
Jay
P.S. I am eager to hear your tunes....

Unfortunately for me, Jim, I have a slow dialup connection....so it's not an option...my connection will not handle streaming audio...even lo-fi

Pardon my outburst.....

I clicked on hi-fi as well with no problem. Sounds like country shuffle to me. My kind of music. I'd do the two step if I could figure how to unbuckle this seat belt on my computer chair.

I'd call it a country shuffle. You hear a lot of this style at steel shows.

I just clicked on "hi-fi" and it played in iTunes on my Mac. It could use some pedal steel, IMHO.

Your right b0b, it could use some steel. If I woulda been smarter a couple years ago I woulda kept the New Sierra I had and there woulda been some steel on it. No apoligy needed Jay, I have a super slow connection too. I'm so far out in the country they pump the Sunshine in and the Moonshine out. The internet is s l o w..... David Wright has the 1st version without the fills on CD, We could post that for the folks around here to practice with.

"Tonight's the night" is definitely a Country Shuffle! I just noticed that you did all the parts, Jim? I'm assuming that you did all the background vocals too? Great job!!

Bob

I'd call it a kinda generic country-shuffle with an '80s sound. To me, the first part is very reminiscent of Haggard's "Let's Chase Each Other 'Round the Room Tonight".

Which is also reminiscent of "I Don't Believe I'll fall In Love Today".

A cross between the Hag, and Larry,Steve, and Rudy. Even without a steel line, I still like it. a nice med. shuffle and one ya sure can two step with. Nice Work

Yup Bob I played and sang it all myself. Recorded it right here on this very computer. Now that Danny and b0b mentioned it, it does have that Hag feel to it. I wore out my CD of "The Derailers - Reverb Deluxe" that has “I don’t Believe I’ll Fall In Love Today” on it. I was going after a 60’s sound actually. I know what happened, I spent a couple of days in Austin last year and it had a profound effect on me as a musician. I jammed with some fellas at the Cotton Club and Steakhouse in Granger TX, and that’s just about all we played, two steps. I was surrounded by some of the best players on and off the road today and didn’t even know it. Then I sat in awe at the Continental Club on South Congress 6 feet from the stage and heard more shuffles. I guess you can say one day in Texas can change your life. Thanks Don for the Email.
