MIX CONTEST 1

 

Hey gang, I present to you the latest country tune from Passmore & Johnston – “Smoke”.  This ominous country rock song was inspired by Jason Aldean’s  newer brand of brooding dark country music.  From a production standpoint, Andrew and I feel we’ve done our best work to date with this song and are stoked to share it with you guys.   On steel is the one and only Bryan Daste, aka “MaulPcCarney” who’s been a TM member for a while.  This guy is next level on pedal steel and his performance in this song was beyond what I could have hoped for.  Thanks Bryan!  Have fun folks!

MAY 2025: “WHAT WE COULD HAVE BEEN”

MIX CONTEST 2   Super nice folk shuffle vibes on this song by Michael Cooper Lee.  Chill strumming, babbling mando, super well done drums and bass, and a lovely string arrangement should make “What we could have been” a joy to mix.  And let’s not forget Michael’s awesome vocals!  These are pristine songwriter tracks,  so…
