Something different!

[offthewall]

I haven't had time to make any music of late, due to a bout of *real life* kicking in.
So here is a little something to fill in the gap.
A couple of months ago I was invited by KVRist *Liqih* to participate in a project wher he wanted to send a selection of songs to his chosen KVR singers to be remixed by him for a *singers project album*.
This song, Take Me To The Mountain: Lyrics by Polly Porter, Music by Liqih, was given to me.  The original file was of a musical backing in electronic format for me to sing to. The idea would be for Liqih to mix this into a new backing.
After numerous attempts he has mixed it as a duet with another singer.
The result, along with some of the other songs, can be found here: http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=224779

As I liked the song so much I also made my own version. 
I took the vocal track and reworked the backing to my own style as a country song. Guitars and bass.
This is how it came out.
I really enjoyed this, as a project.

James,

Your version of this song is infinitely better instrumentally & the mix is superb!

The version on KVR is a boomy & muddled mix & the arrangement does not do much for me.

Great going with this one.

Excellent. This reworked version makes much more sense to me
Well done

Cheers

Agree with both the above comments!

Thanks for the comments.
Just as a point of interest, this version actually takes the vocal from the *supplied* version and adds a new backing track. If I decide, in the future to revisit this song I would like to do it *from the ground up* and rework the whole arrangement.
When I can find some time I think this would be most interesting.

Hmm. I didn't realise that. Yes, it would make an interesting comparison.

P.S.
When you find a supply of 'time' can you let me know where it is. Some days I seem to run out completely

I did not hear the KVR version but this one is top shelf for sure.

Great job James!
