Which track to start the CD?

Sign in to disble this ad
My band (duo, actually) has a new CD coming out, and we're trying to figure out which song to go first.
We've narrowed it to 2 songs.
Both represent our sound well, though both have a different sound to them.
I figured I'd get some random opinions.

Wisdom of a Kiss
http://www.folkina.com/mp3/wisdom_of_a_kiss.mp3

Broken Hearts Rescue Society
http://www.folkina.com/mp3/broken_hearts.mp3

The band is called Folk in A (slightly misleading, since we're not quite folk and seldom play in A, but it rolls well off the tongue )

BTW, I know what *I* call our style of music, but what would you call it? Keep in mind that we also play a lot of pretty straight Delta blues (Robert Johnson, Mississippi John Hurt, etc).

Thanks...

One thing you can count on in the "Recordings" forum - not many people will listen to your stuff, and fewer will comment.

Fortunately that saves you from most of the "you stink, dude" comments...

Love the band and I love that bass tone. If you don;t mind my asking what type of bass,strings and Eq settings are you usings.

If it was my record I would start with Broken Hearts. It is a nice intro. Sets a good stage to open up the record for other ideas and philosophys.

Thank you.
Both songs have the same bass and general settings.
The bass is a Zon Sonus Special 5 string fretless. Great bass.
Strings are Ken Smith Compressors. Great strings.
EQ - mids are boosted around 400K.
