Reiver A civil warhorse song, written with Janice in mind ( good luck for me she agreed to sing -as you`all know she`s the bees knees of vocalists...not to mention that my southern accent isn`t so great). Based in part on the fine Taylor Brown novel Fallen Land. Many thanks also goes to Bud for recording & processing Janice`s vocal, roughing up the fiddle and production advice. Style is _STEPUP.STY (Step Up Country Rock) RealTracks in song: 1522:Bass, Electric, PopPower8s Ev 120 RealTracks in song: 1753:Fiddle, Background Pop8ths Ev 110 RealTracks in style: 2634:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm CountryBluesRock Ev 110 RealTracks in song: 408:Guitar, Resonator, Background Allis Ev 120 RealTracks in song: 2041:Guitar, Resonator, Soloist CountryRob Ev 120 (Bluesy) RealDrums in Song: BluesRockEv^1-a:Snare, HiHat , b:Snare, Open HiHat Reiver scratching at the back door skitter on the tin roof wake up little brother we`re cutting loose scarecrow soldiers coming through the trees hold tight those reins softly softly from the barn hush now black beauty its not horses they harm I don`t want to name what they`ll do to me they`re dragging my piano out into the cotton Reiver do you know what makes men rotten run now for little brother and my peach pie dream Reiver Reiver be our saviour thunder down to that Georgia sea hungry sky be our banner all the sky coal black eyes have seen daddy chose good night before we lost him said he looks like a raider don`t cry don`t think little brother see how the dew star spangles Reiver`s mane his shoulders ripple like a wave of night pray I can aim this Walker outrun the fight we`ll tell momma our deliverer`s name Reiver Reiver be our saviour thunder down to that Georgia sea hungry sky be our banner all the sky coal black eyes have seen all the sky coal black eyes have seen © Robert Cordrey Jan. 2018

Robert, Janice & Bud,
I love how unique this song is... It catches you right from the first couple of bars.
Excellent production and instrumentation. Janice again nails the right vibe and tone.
"daddy chose good
night before we lost him
said he looks like a raider
don`t cry don`t think little brother
see how the dew star spangles Reiver`s mane"
Some really outstanding lyrics here as well. Wow!

Very cool tune. I agree with Bob that what first stood out for me, aside from Janice’s always incredible vocal, is how unique this melody is. It brings you in right from the start and holds your interest every step of the way. Really liked this.

Robert, Janice and Bud
A unique delight. Some beautiful prose (worth reading on it's own) set to music. You simply can't go wrong with Janice singing (she nailed it but that's kind of expected) and I liked the bits where Robert comes in for some harmony. A wonderful production and no doubt Bud's encouragement (and his recording of Janice) were of great assistance.
Wonderful work from all involved.

What a cool story in these lyrics. Your creativity is just mind-blowing. Man does this bring up excellent visuals of the situations in the story.
Janice was a perfect choice to sing the song. Her delivery to the song to the awesome level.
The backtrack as very cool as well. Loved the Dobro. Do not have one of those but I have my eye on a lap steel.. :-)
Well done Robert and Janice..

Bob Glad you liked that intro, Bob - originally the song had no intro or space between the verses and it was Bud`s suggestion to try using held chords that helped get that started. I like that you mentioned the feel of Janice`s vocal...to me she conveys a bit of toughness and the warmth of the young girl in the story. Robert Very cool tune. I agree with Bob that what first stood out for me, aside from Janice’s always incredible vocal, is how unique this melody is. It brings you in right from the start and holds your interest every step of the way. Really liked this.
Dave Dave, Thank you for those positive comments. I wrote the chorus first -that was the easy part, then the verse lyrics with short phrases seemed to suggest that choppy rhythm in the melody. Robert

out into the cotton"
One of many interesting images and/or phrases.
The instrumentation fits the song nicely. A good mix. (I thought the drums were a bit busy for the style of song).
The best possible singer. How could you go wrong?
Another fine listen from you guys.

Peter Peter, Thanks for the very positive review! I`ve been working on the harmonies a bit lately, so its good to hear they sound ok. I guess the best encouragement any songwriter can have is for musicians you respect saying they want to record your song... my hat`s off to Janice & Bud for that gift. Robert What a cool story in these lyrics. Your creativity is just mind-blowing. Man does this bring up excellent visuals of the situations in the story.

Well done Robert and Janice.. Thank you, Scott. The story kind of wrote itself in my mind as I read the book ( only the horses` name is a copy from that). Well I for one can`t wait for you to get the lap steel... I listen to the Weissenborn instrumentals all the time. Robert Cool song and production. I enjoyed it very much.
Josie Thanks for your listen and comments, Josie.

fj Floyd, Thanks for the listen and positive review. There was me thinking I`d written a straight ahead country rocker...but ok,I`ll settle for moving this into the unique/different category! I like the drums except in spots in the verses where I agree they are too busy... really have to get to grips with how to edit the realdrum tracks sometime. Robert

This is super! I liked the lyrics, mix and instrumentation. Of course we all know that Janice could sing the dictionary and it would be great!
This is a well composed piece of music that you all should be very proud.

Wow - this is top notch! This is superb in almost every day. It is a solid write. A strong chorus, excellent vocal delivery, perfectly mixed, and really neat lyrics to boot.
Not a thing I've changed on this one. You should both be proud - thanks for sharing!

Well done guys I`ve written a few songs now with the thought- "Janice might sing this one day"; I don`t think I`m alone in that hope! Thanks for the positive review. Robert This is super! I liked the lyrics, mix and instrumentation. Of course we all know that Janice could sing the dictionary and it would be great!

Hi Janice & Robert
Several have said unique, and I agree. However, I would go further and say creatively and wonderfully original. Creating new music this original and so danged good doesn't just happen - it takes a lot of craftsmanship, hard work and a feel or touch that many musical creators don't have. Ya'll have an abundance of it. Great sing and it's presented so nicely!

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.
Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!
Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
