It’s some mighty powerful fiddlin’, but I think it’s too much, sometimes distracting rather than augmenting. My first thought is to mix it in only for the chorus.

“Long as Me” has some of the best lyrics you’ve written, and I really appreciate that you’re stretching yourself stylistically. Next: nerdcore?

I hear echoes of Queen’s “Fat Bottom Girls” in this song.

Is that going to become part of “Other Experiments”?

That’s my guy! The best damn fiddler moonlighting at Microsoft.

Yee-haw.

Impressive! Not that the original didn’t work — it did (when did you learn mandolin?). But the addition of the fiddle rounds things out even better. The extra voice doesn’t hurt either. They all add up to something I certainly wouldn’t be surprised to hear on the Opry.
