Here's a progression I've had in my head for several months now, but I didn't have any lyrics. So a couple of weeks ago I come up with an idea for an "On Fire Love"... Which includes most of the cliché's you could imagine.  This is not the feel I had in my head for this song, but after messing around with quite a few different styles... I decided this was a pretty cool way to do it.  I mention that because someone posted recently that they couldn't get BIAB to do what they were hearing in their head and it was bothering them. I'm sure we've all had that problem... I don't think of that as a problem anymore. I just let BIAB be a tool to help me expand on what I hear in my head.  Anyway just my .02 on that. I've listed the RT's below, other than that it's me on the vocals and my Telecaster "Trigger" on leads & fills. All comments welcome. Greg Drums-CountryTrain RT427 Bass, Acoustic RT431 Guitar, Acoustic, Strum RT428 Fiddle, Rhythm RT434 Fiddle, Soloist RT590 Banjo (Rhythm) RT2024 Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm http://achordmusic.mymusicstream.com/track/on-fire-love On Fire Love ©2014 Words & Music: Greg Achord I often wonder just how do you know for sure I’m looking for a sign Could this be real or just another fantasy That’s messin’ with my mind I think it’s real cause there’s a spark I feel down deep inside It’s smolderin’ for you Where there’s smoke there’s fire I’m just hopin’ That you feel it too A burnin’ arrow has pierced my heart I got an on fire love for you And I don’t think there’s a way to put it out It’s stuck in deep and I just can’t keep From letting’ you know I tell you girl I got an on fire love for you There’s those who say the heart just will infatuate You gotta’ learn to read the signs They’re all around you it’s a chemical imbalance Of the romance kind Some times your heart sees clearly but your mind don’t know Is it true / Is it right I’ve struck a match for you now just sit back And watch our love ignite (Chorus) (Ride) (Chorus) tag

Hi Greg,
The introduction really made me sit up and pay attention! The sound was brilliant. And then you kept the same super level of presentation throughout the entire song.
To my ears, "On Fire Love" is chockablock full of energy, explodes with professionalism and is a terrific testimony to your abilities as a songwriter, an arranger, a performer and a producer.
Great stuff!
All the best,
Noel

Hey Greg...
I think this is the first time to listen to you. We've only been here about 3 weeks and still looking around.
Love that uptempo Bluegrass. Nice instrumental tracks and your voice is a great fit for this. That was a great listen...thanks!

A good one there Greg.
Super vocal and I love your Tele playing!
Mix-wise I wanted to hear the drums a bit more?

Greg,
Great high-energy production. Excellent pickin' - and you matched that fiddle up with it really well!!!
A pedal-to-the-metal fun listen.

Just for a split second I thought I heard Orange blossom special in that intro... Good song, well produced and executed...we'll I'm still a rookie, but that doesn't mine I can't like what I hear!

Greg,
As others have said this is a high energy, fun loving, toe tapping production with excellent vocals, lyrics and backing tracks. The mix was top notch IMHO. That was really great picking man!
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Noel - Thanks so much... You make me blush  with all the nice things you have to say! Al & Di - Nice to have you guys here and thanks for the comments. Scott - Thanks buddy. Josie - I thank you... As does Trigger. John - Thanks for the listen & nice comments... I've had an issue with brushes being too "In Your Face" on previous tunes so I'm probably erring on the side of caution. I may bump 'em up a bit after your comment. Guenter - Thanks. Trigger thanks you too! Floyd - Thank you. I really enjoy trying to get my guitar to mesh with the RT's. Karel - Thanks for the kind words. I love the fiddle RT's! Mario - Thank you sir! The pickin can be a bit of a challenge at 135bpm.  Herb - Thanks for the listen. I appreciate it. Greg

Wow! as an ole bluegrasser I gotta say that is a great mix. The vocal is spot on and wonderfully supported by Trigger and the RT's. BG is a LOT harder to mix than most folks realize and a big tip of the hat to you for this one. Fine pickin' by you and the "PG Pickers" band. Thanks for throwing this out here!

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."
