Bars Guitars And Cadillac Cars
https://hearthis.at/elvis-nash-xk/bars-guitars-and-cadillac-cars-2/
V1
In the smoky room where the neon hums
Bartender serves drinks and broken thumbs
Strummin' a six-string with a scarred old hand
Living our lives like we always planned
V2
Down the highway with the windows down
Sun's sinking on this dusty town
Eldorado's cruise we have wild-eyed smiles
We'll be gone in just a little while
Ch
Bars guitars and Cadillac cars
Chasing our dreams under midnight stars
Living loud breaking hearts like glass
We'll never slow down burning up so fast
With Bars guitars and Cadillac cars
V3
Summer nights with the moon in sight
Picking old blues on a old porch swing
Voices echo in the restless night
Together breaking dawn’s first light
CH
BR
Can you hear the call of the open sky
Whispered secrets of the miles gone by
[Chorus]
Bars guitars and Cadillac cars
Chasing our dreams under midnight stars
Living loud breaking hearts like glass
We'll never slow down burning up so fast
With Bars guitars and Cadillac cars
Bars guitars and Cadillac cars ... Yeah

@ElvisNash - what kind of bar is this that server broken thumbs with the drinks.. can you just get the drink? 🤔😂. catchy song... I can picture you up on stage with a beat-up guitar in a dive bar, where everybody is drunkenly singing the chorus :)

"Bars Guitars And Cadillac Cars" Well you can't get more country than that! Nice rolling rhythm and rhyme to it.
The melody in the chorus is a little too similar to that in the verse for me. But that's my only crit. The rest is very smooth.
I like the little guitar licks that start at the end of the first chorus. I was thinking in the first two verses that they would fit nicely and in they came.
Bridge is nice. Nice clean finish.
Good stuff.

Good work, as always, Elvis. I love the hook. Thanks for the step-by-step description of the process. I arrived too late to hear the earlier versions, but the one I just listened to sounds pretty darned good!

Still needs bass and harmony and final mix , I don't think it needs all them steel licks , Guitar does some nice licks , Will balance it out in final mix ....Thanks Gavin

I think it's a great song- killer lyrics and story, but the vocal is almost drowned out by the instruments. For me The words are most important here and should have more clarity. jus' thinkin'

its not mixed yet RC , bass and harmony have to be added. I was showing step by step building tracks . How I produce a song with about 6 session players. When it's done , I'll show finished product.

Bass , Now it needs BGVS and a big mix . Stages on building tracks . Atmos mix takes 3 hours , long time getting all that right. Then start all over on a new song . Total process , maybe 3 weeks . Total cost after YouTube promotion $1102.00 , ROI Zero. Worst business to get into . Well there's worst addictions lol . This whole Karma thing , really dosent work supporting Nashville and session players. ha ha ha

I'm surprised how much string buzz there is in the bass. It's probably completely normal, I don't have much experience with Bass, just wasn't aware of it.

Well BZ Lewis will mix it and get out buzz . on an atmos mix , it's 3 hours messing with stems . You can't hear the difference unless you have Studio speakers

Really good CW song, even better that you took the musicians through the process of how you develop the music, quite impressive.
Enjoyed that,
Well done Elvis

I enjoy the process , I thought you guys might be interested. Now the only thing left is harmony on chorus echo a few words on say v2 . Ooooooo's on background vocals in bridge. Then final mix
Do harmony on this line in v2 ... Voices echo in the restless night
So what's involved , Acoustic guitar , Steel guitar , bass , drums and harmony . 8 people involved if you include 2 studios .
Thanks Sid my man

That does sound good! The song itself was always good, but the production sounds very polished.
I'm not 100% on the harmony. I'd rather keep it for key lines , whereas here it's used fairly generously. But maybe the final mix will take care of that.

Its hot right now on harmony , it will be turned down , Now do I echo a few words , or leave it alone ?
She won't harmonize every line in chorus , every other line , Let me sing last line in chorus , that works
