I like your song despite the Banjo grin, your beautiful vocals more than make up for it.
It has a nice, uplifting vibe and I was in a much better mood after listening to it.

Dan,

That's an awesome song and mix. Your vocals are an absolute STANDOUT! Wow, can you sing.

Loved it!

Dan, super arrangement! Love all the little ways you mixed it up, especially in the 2nd half. The BiaB bluegrass RTs generally sound great to my (non-bluegrass) ears, and you've placed/mixed them to great effect here. I'd gush about your fabulous vocals and vocal arrangement (again) but since so many others have beat me to it, I'll just say I enjoyed this tune immensely, even though five minute P&W songs aren't in my sweet spot. Thanks for posting!

As always Dan, I love it! I've enjoyed all the bluegrass coming out on the forum lately, and this one is just fantastic. I don't know many people could sing the words "low down, dirty liar" and make it sound so dadgum good! Way to go, keep 'em comin'!

Dan,

Beautiful.
Nice use of the BIAB Bluegrass RTs (they are all so good!)
Gorgeous vocals.
Mix is good. (the solos - both mandolin and banjo could have been a bit louder...)

Love that band!! A fun sound, and your lyrics really add to the uplifting feel, Dan. You create so well in every genre, but you were born in Bluegrass --the happiest music.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Dan,

It's a beautiful Gospel/Bluegrass tune!
I know a lot of folks that would love this! You will surely get a lot of positive reaction on Facebook with this!
The modulation/middle eight section was very effective! as well as the fiddle/mandolin solo!
Great vocal work as always....you do the BEST harmony work on the forum IMO!!

Thanks, and take care, TB

I'm a HUGE bluegrass fan, Daniel, and I recently wrote and recorded one of my own. The lyrics and how they're metered/phrased in the chorus and verses are really well done! Of course, your vocals and message are always top-notch. The bluegrass instruments are amazing in BIAB and you did a great job integrating them into your song.

Na zdrowie!

Dewey

My thanks to everyone who has commented...I realize that "gospel music" is not everyone's cup-o-tea but the unique thing about it is that it can cross every genre of music and still be relevant in delivering it's message...it fits very well in bluegrass and other forms because many of them were born out of gospel music and the church (bluegrass, rock, R&B, soul, etc)...I sincerely appreciate those of you who share your comments...Dewey, Torrey, Marty, Trax, Mario, Floyd, Brad, Ron, Bob, Soren, Misha and Brian...thanks so much...Dan

Hi Dan,

Like the others said, a very nice voice and -of course- very good vocals!
The melody is a bit 'classic', but exactly in your style. The vocals come out beautifully!
The banjo and fiddles make the song sounding cheerful and that is nice.
But..., for me, those instruments also dominate the song a bit to much.
As I said 'for me'. I would have saved them for the chorus.
And together with you, the woman who sang in one of your songs (forgot her name) could provide an extra dynamic. But that's just a thought that occurred.
Because there is nothing to criticize about your singing.

Hans

Dan. Excellent arrangement and vocal.
I think you could increase the vocal vol a tad to make it prouder and take the banjo down a tad as I think it's a little too dominant.
Good one.

Vic

Dan, I have said many times before that the Bluegrass tracks are some of the best that BIAB has to offer. That combined with your outstanding vocals is a pairing destined for great results. Very well done, Tom

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
