I could hear the doors doing this. Nice work.Rob

This is a really good song. I also could hear The Doors doing this one.

Your vocals were strong and the backing tracks were super. I wasn't thrilled about the redundancy in the lyrics but that is just me and the didn't distract from the song.

Great job on this one.

Wow - what a tune! This is the sort of thing I'd imagine playing on an alternative radio station. I love how much character and charisma it has. Not to mention - you perfectly utilized the loops on this.

You outdid yourself on this one - thanks so much for sharing smile

Very cool, Bob.


You continue to find innovative ways to put BIAB tracks together.

The drums sound terrific and the Metal guitar really compliment them and you vocal.

The Brent Rock solo slowed down to meet the tempo of this song made for some really interesting guitar lines - so cool...

Enjoyed that!

Cool vibe.

Indeed. We are all star dust.

This would be a PERFECT song for Lucinda Williams. Really. We are huge fans. Get it to her! It would’ve fit perfectly on her Down Where The Spirit Meets The Ben album.

You are a master of putting together seemingly disparate RTs to create great bands.

Ain’t gonna parse it out. We much enjoyed it!

J&B

PS Can we borrow this band some time? smile

Bob,
What an original band you`ve created from the RT`s here! Hard to pin down the influences... but who cares, it works and adds another trippy niche to your songbook. Love that slowed down Brent lead guitar! Nice background vocals too.

I’m glad I took the ride. Spacey, Trippy wildly listenable. When I read the lyrics I wondered what you could possibly come up with to make it work. You succeeded beyond my expectations. You have a talent for making the band work along with your paint a picture lyrics. Cool, Tom

Janice & Bud,

Thanks so much - that really means a lot.

You pushed the envelope on this one - but what a creative use of resources!

Trippy? ...yes, but it sure works for me.

Congrats on a very catchy lyric and tune.

Hello, Bob

It is a mysterious song that makes me feel Mick Jagger somewhere and a little psychedelic, even though it is a blues chord progression,.
The combination of instruments is very creative.
Your vocal fits it very well.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Great rock vibe....hear some Hendrix in this!! As Dr. Seuss did, you were able to use very few words to make something that really captures the ear. Love the sound you captured on the drums and guitar. What kind of plugins did you use in the mix? Very cool stuff!! Take care. Greg
Posted By: rsdean Re: Star - 03/23/18 06:50 PM
Curt,

Thanks so much.

Shigeki,

Thanks for the kind words.

Bob

Greg,

Thanks - very much appreciated.

For the instrument tracks I used various GarageBand effects, and for or the overall mix I used an Ozone rock preset - really brought out the drum sounds.

Thanks again!

Bob
