Heart Over Mind with Gary Carter

Bret Raper · Post by **Bret Raper** » 20 Jul 2020 8:50 am

I recently completed a recording project of Western Swing and traditional country which was co-produced by steel guitarist Gary Carter. Here is our rendition of Heart Over Mind with my friend Lloyd Wood doing the vocals. I'm playing the fiddles and Gary is playing steel.

Thatâ€™s what Iâ€™m talkInâ€™ about! So great to hear classic country done right...fantastic job by all. Thanks for posting Bret...Carl
P.S. Iâ€™m a fiddle player/hacker and when you have a minute, shoot me a Private Message about your fiddle setup. Recently got a Red Eye preamp and love it!

The vocals sound incredible; sounds a LOT like a young Mel Tillis.

Fantastic, and I agree with the others. Sounds like a young Mel. And by all means, turn up the steel and fiddle.
