Review of Hey Kate!:
Very polished work
Great guitar tone here. Professional production.
Great harmonies during the chorus!
Very surprised by the chord changes at the end of the chorus. I was expecting something more generic, but what you did was unique and refreshing.
Now, even a good song like this can be ruined by a bad performance, but there is not even a single note in here that I can say negative things about. Excellent performance.
Good song + good production + good performance = 5
Great job
As a result of some very enthusiastic reviews from members, "Hey Kate!" is now Track of the Week at GarageBand.com. It's currently in Round 2 of the competition, and at #17 on their chart.
