Col,

I must say, your voice, and therefore your music, sounds much more "natural", letting the listener hear "you" and not mainly effects.

You have great pitch, a pleasant sounding voice, and your word pronunciation is spot on...all important to a singer, especially in Country music, which depends so much on the lyrics and the message. I've always thought the definition of "Country music" as "three chords and the truth" was pretty accurate, and this song was written when Country was still "Country".

In any case, you certainly have no reason to disguise your voice with effects.

Great work on one of Country music's finest ballads.
