Twistin' Down The Highway

A Twisting, Rock 'n' Roll foot tapper.

Uses the Hang Ten style for the drums and bass.

Other guitars and vocals - me (vocals dry at the moment).

Verse
I’m a twisting down the Highway
an’ I’m twisting past the block
All the way down from St Louis
On my way to ”Little Rock”

Find a job down by the river
Find some whiskey on the dock

Verse 2
Well, there aint no time for sleeping
Gotta keep on drivin’ through
Goodbye to ol’ Missouri
It’s been fun knowin’ you

I never stopped at Memphis
I just kept twisting through.

Bridge 1
I gotta keep on goin’
Like a drivin’ man machine
Got a mojo in my pocket
Twenty dollars in my jeans

[Instrumental]

Verse 3
I should have gone to Clarksdale
Should have found a place to hide
I should have gone down into Clarksdale
And took my shotgun by my side

But that’s the life I’m running from
I’ve gotta have my pride


Bridge 2
I gotta keep on goin’
Like a drivin’ man machine
Got a mojo in my pocket
Twenty dollars in my jeans

Verse 4
Now my Journey's ending
The City lights I see
I hope you're not offended
By a guy like me

I twist around from town to town
Hope my troubles don’t follow me

Verse 5
I've reached my destination
There’s a dryness in my mouth
Is this the place that’s meant for me
Should I keep driving South

Is this the place that’s meant for me
Should I keep driving South

Is this the place that’s meant for me
Should I keep driving South

Cheers.
Mike.

Flashback to the late 50's early 60's cool

I really like this one. Great vocal, excellent mix and super guitar chops.

This is a keeper!


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.

Mario, you nailed it with "flashback" - yes what a great 60's sound.

A bit of surfin' music included, everything about this song is great.

Yeah! Good song, Mike. Vocal sounds good to me, as does the guitar, I'm hearing some Chuck Berry licks in there.

Hi Mario, Trevor, Joe, Noel, Dave, Herb and Scott.

Thank you very much for the kind comments.

I came across this style pretty much accidentally and BIAB had the backing up and running in no time at all. So impressed with the range and speed that you can get songs together with this program.

Cheers.
Mike.

Mike,

Great fun with just the right dollop of "mojo".
I have`nt heard this style used before - its a great fit for your song.
Vocal also sounds good "dry"like this.

That's a great mashup of several 60's rock styles...and it works well.

Nicely written, delivered and well engineered.

Enjoyed it!

Hi Janice and Bud, Kenny.

Thanks for the nice comments.

Those drums are great aren't they. They are from the Hang Ten Style. I'm toying with the idea of writing a few more track in that style.

Cheers.
Mike.

Hi Robert. Thanks for the nice comments.

I sort of stumbled on this style by accident when looking for something else and it's definitely up there in terms of quality.

Cheers.
Mike.

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."
