Tyler Childers - Whitehouse Road
I’m not a big fan of the studio version of this song, but luckily there are a ton of very different live versions. I love this minimal one, recorded at the OurVinyl Sessions. There is only a guitar on the original record, so I added a bass line, greatly inspired by the upright line played on another live record.
Sound-wise it’s my “standard” Americana tone, with the Ampeg SVT-VR model on the Bass POD Pro set to a limit just after the “pure clean” tone, in the “just a little bit dirty if I’m heavy on the attacks” zone. The difference with my previous covers is that I didn’t use the DOD FX84, it’s Greenie directly into the Bass POD Pro. the compression comes only from the LA-2A model on the POD, the foam block and a very subtle studio compression during the production phase.
This song was not easy to mix because of the problem I have with my monitors. I hope it sounds good enough, at this point I can’t be sure.
