Very nice Southern Gospel feel. The vibe starts with the first note of the piano. Loved it.

Cool stuff.... here in the south we have a bunch of southern gospel groups. They are quite popular in the older baptist churches. This nails that genre fairly well.

There was a time in my writing when I wrote quite a few songs in this style. Perhaps, and just for grins, I should rework those tunes now that I have BB

Love this, George. Great title and your vocal is really wonderful. Got some early Johnny Cash vibes from this, which is a very good thing in my books!

Good Afternoon
Thanks for listening and commenting. I've had the "hook" for Heaven South rolling around in my head for a long time. I got the idea when I heard the late, great Nashville song writer Harley Allen use that term during some banter on stage. I guess we always keep our ears open for a "hook". This was a fun song to write and record.

Hello Joanne
I really appreciate your comments and that you took time to listen to Heaven South. I've been feeling a need to write something with a gospel flare for a long time. I've had that "Heaven South" hook rolling around in my head for a long time and decided it was time to use it.
Thanks Again,
George

Good Afternoon. Thanks for listening and commenting. Glad you heard a thread of Johnny Cash in Heaven South. He was on my mind when I did the vocal.
I continue to be amazed at what Band In A Box allows me to do. Most satisfying.
Be In Touch,
George
