Heart of Dixie

J.Kenney © 11-27-13
Electric version 6-30-17

(I first recorded this song as an acoustic ballad without Biab....here is the Biab version)

https://soundcloud.com/j-kenney/heart-of-dixie-electric-version-2017

I been down this road a time or two y’know

Picked up this stroll 
that never ever let me go

keep it slow,
don’t outgrow, 

That heart of Dixie

left to wonder where it is I belong

a simple prayer that wants 
a home inside a song

years go by,
I can't deny

My heart of Dixie

thought that I solved it all 
many times late at night

Only to wake up to a world 
ruled by black and white

Baby hold me tight

I'll try to put this best that I can

life is full of turns
 you’ll never get to plan

down the line

I hope you find

Your heart of Dixie

(lead)

thought that I solved it all 
many times late at night

Only to wake up to a world 
ruled by black and white 

Baby hold me tight

I've tried to put this best that I can

life has turns 
I s'pose I'll never understand

down the line

I hope you find

Your heart of Dixie

down the line

I hope we find

A little heart of Dixie

Your heart of Dixie

My heart of Dixie
Our Heart of Dixie

Hey thanks, Kenny, I was sorta feeling like this one ended up only sounding good to me.....(Lotsa plays no comments)
Oh well.....It IS pretty different from the acoustic version.....but I liked the guitars
The hardest part was figuring out how to redesign the melody line.

Again, you have a wonderful laid-back feel on this one!! Such an easy listen. I think I heard Jimi reincarnated in that guitar! Very cool tune! Take care. Greg

Kenny summed this up perfectly. He said everything that came to my mind. Totally loved it! As far as the number of plays vs comments ... that's pretty common. I wouldn't put too much stock in that one way or the other.

Terrific song ... loved it@!

Nice one!

We think that Jack Pearson RT is one of the best solo's available in BiaB. I've found that it works with blues, rock and even reggae and it's so easy to comp with the pauses, etc. You made great use of it!

Enjoyed it.

You have the perfect voice for this song!

Everything about this is top shelf. Your selection of RTs perfectly sets the mood for your vocal.

This is a winner.
