KELLY BROTHERS - Crying Days Are Over.wmv



I love the production on this cut. Nice and simple. They let the rhythm section carry it alone until the sax solo. That would be two guitars, bass, and drums. The second guitar occupies the space between the prominent rhythm guitar and the bass, and its part is so subtle you could easily miss it. These are very disciplined players; they play their parts right on the money, nice and tight. The back up singers are so far down in the mix that they almost get lost. After the sax solo, a small horn section helps out with the remainder of the song. No embellishments on the vocals, just a grateful man telling a sincere story. Beautiful record.
