Sounds like Alabama Mason. Here's this year's rendition, which I like even more than last year's.

Both good, but I am with Gary.

Thanks guys, and I agree...EXCEPT, the one DNJ posted is this year's, on the Yamaha PSRS970, using Country Ballad 2 style. The one Gary posted was Korg, either PA900 or PA3X, I don't remember which.
The vocal and harmony was done on the Korg. The vocal and harmony on the Yamaha version was T.C. Helicon Harmony M module midied to the S970.

Yes, they are both good, Don, but FWIW, I prefer last year's ...

I prefer the Korg version. The guitar sound is more realistic. I could really tell when I heard the Yamaha version, I'm pretty used to that sound by now. I use my keyboard so much differently than Don. I use drawbar so lot on sound two with a volume pedal for blend. Upper one is almost always some sort of piano. When not using organ I use the Hawaiian guitar, accordion, or brass.

Gary likes the Korg over the Yamaha? Say it ain't so.:):):)

Hey, I can only go by what I hear. I listened to both renditions on my PC using the Yamaha MS50 sound system, which to me, is almost as good as headphones.

Happy New Year,

Gary

Happy New Year, Gary! I gotta get me a decent pair of monitors, too. Santa blew out on that this year, too.

I like the realistic sound of the guitar via the Korg the best. The guitar intro with the Korg really sounded so melodic and flowed along so nicely with the mood of the piece. No matter what instrument you play on, EQ and mixing can really make the difference as to what sounds best. It is so subjective. It would make difference if the original recording was done with a Tele or Strat as well. Both guitars have a distinctive tone. I really enjoyed both performances and really love Don's rich vocals.
