Streams
We've got hundreds of tracks to upload to Soundcloud, and we're gradually filling them in. Some of these mixes are from 40 years ago (you can tell), and some are from last week. Recording technology has advanced a lot in the intervening years. Some of these are rough mixes and some have been mastered and released. We'd love to hear questions or comments about these songs or talk to you about remixing anything you've got. And we can coach as we go if you want.
RECENT REMIXES
Dan Daley is a musician and music journalist who divides his time between Nashville and New York. He recently brought us some 24-tracks from 39th Street Studios in the early 80s for us to restore. The lyrics and vocals are superb. We've got them ready for streaming release. We particularly like "Restless Heart". "Can't Stop Loving You" really shows off his voice.
Linda Hargrove - Let It Shine [2023 TRC remix]
We were sent the 24-track master tape of some 1990 tracks by Nashville singer/songwriter Linda Hargrove. Linda wrote many hits for others, including "Tennessee Whiskey". Here's our mix of her rendition of "Let It Shine".
Kay Vega - Music Will Rise [2023]
Here's the title song from Kay Vega's upcoming album, released in his native Germany in 2024. We produced, sweetened and mixed based on arrangements and tracks from Tommy Harden. We produced the vocals remotely at Studio Wong in Berlin; thanks to engineer Olli Wong.
Faith Band - Touchy Situation 1989 - 2022 remix

Brad Smith - You'll Survive [1983 - remix 2023]
Brad Smith, a friend of TRC for decades, was a talented songwriter, and we recorded lots of his stuff. For some reason he recorded this tune twice, in 1983 and 1993, so he must have liked the song. Here's our 2021 remix of the tracks we did in 1983.
Roadmaster - Say You Want To Be With Me [live - 2024 remix]
We recorded albums for this iconic Indy rock band in the 70s, then a live performance in 1980 or so. We restored and remixed that 1980 tape in Nashville in 2016.

Chuckie Bush recorded and toured with "Baby Face" Edmonds, Manchild, and under his own name. This is the "A" side of his 1982 TRC Records release, produced with Gary Schatzlein and remixed by Mike in 2024.

Jackson G - Nashville Girls [2020 Demo]
We produce music for Kay Vega, a prolific singer/songwriter from Berlin, to distribute in the EU. His main genre is Americana, but this tune has the potential in the U.S. Jackson G sings this demo, with arrangements and tracks by Tommy Harden and production, vocals and mixing here at TRC. So far, not released, so let us know if you want Kay's tune.
Jackson G - Outlaws And Heroes [2024 Remix]
Kay Vega, a prolific country singer/songwriter from Berlin, released this song on his 2020 album. Arrangement and tracks by Tommy Harden. We built this American publishing demo with new vocals (Jackson G) and a TRC mix.

Louise Morgan - "Once The Fire Is Gone"
TRC's first country session, sometime in 1974, recorded in Indy with session players imported from Nashville. First time we saw a wallet tossed on a snare drum. Sadly, we couldn't find a label for Louise Morgan, even after changing her name to "Cari Inman".
