Very nice sounding intro with that guitar work. I think it all worked out just fine on this one. Good playing and performance. If you are still working on it, maybe look at the dynamics a bit. The backing is the same volume and "fullness" all the way through. Mighty fine lead break stuff.

This is a nice song and I really enjoyed the guitars you did. I agree with Kevin about the dynamics but to me, the mixture of live guitars and that fullness of the backing dynamics gave the song a very 'live' feel that I liked. Throughout the song, there were small articulations in the playing and vocals that really gave the performance some great character.
I will be listening some more and taking notes. Whether by accident or intent, in your mix, you've brought out new aspects of BIAB and created one of the best live sounds from the program that I've heard. This is different and I like it.
Thanks for posting.

Peter,
I listened a few times - and enjoyed it!
It has a nice Pure-Prairie-League-feel throughout. Comfortable, flowing Country-Rock... nice job on the harmonica! and guitars...
The one thing that "caught my attention" was that the drums were mighty busy (a lot of part markers?). I think, for this type song, a simpler, more subtle drum track would work better. Just an opinion, though...

I think Floyd said it right! This is really nice, "comfortable"- draws you in just feels good. Really like the natural vocal style you have. Great job on this!! Take care, Greg

Peter, I really liked the lyrics, almost comical in some ways. The Harmonica fitted in there really well, perfect actually. Nice playing and nice overall job.

floyd Floyd thanks - I checked the Part Markers and there were quite a few! I'll play around with the drums and see how it sounds.

Charlie Charlie Not sure what I did there (by accident sounds about right) but glad you liked it.

Thanks for all the comments - I've made a few tweaks in my remix - drummer has been told to calm down and I think it's sounding better.

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."
Happy Easter! Holiday Hours...
2024 is well underway - it's already Easter Weekend!
Our Customer Service hours this weekend are:
