Possible? It sounds like autotune took a s**t on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full-on admiration of the work accomplished and a very enjoyable listen. Thanks for posting; it goes some small way towards reconciling my ears to the horrors of the original post. Yeah, I agree.

dmccombe7 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Do you think Mr Kimball is just having a laugh and taking the fosters out of the song ? Wonder what the rest of the gig was like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder what the rest of the gig was like. This one includes a comment from Mr. Kimball himself. He seems to agree that it sounds awful, blaming it on technical problems.
