Hello all. This is a song I wrote a while back. It is a little different than my usual fare. Any one else singing it would probably make it a pop ballad, but unfortunately with my old cornpone voice, it will probably still come out country. We are what we are I guess. Hope you like it.

Hello,

It does sound country to me, but that isn't a bad thing. It works perfect ... perfect mesh of lyric and music. I love the easy going vibe. Nicely done. Nice vocal. Thanks for sharing.

Very pretty, very soulful, and a beautiful arrangement.....I may steal that band and try something with them if you tell me who they are!! FWIW, I like your cornpone voice, a lot! Very much enjoyed this wonderfully emotional tune!! Take care. Greg

The arrangement does suggest country - particularly the fiddle intro.
That said it suits your voice.
What BIAB stuff did you use & what did you add yourself?

I second Greg`s thoughts - this is a song that could be done in a less old country style... but I doubt I`d get the same feelings as you bring; don`t change that voice!

Awesome tune Gary. Heard a little lament of "Hank" in your vocal Gary. Just a super vocal and lyric. Well done...

HI Gary,

Yep, sounds country. And that's just fine with me. This fits your "cornpone" voice perfectly. The arrangement and lyric are equally so well done.

I can also hear this as a pop ballad, smooth jazz piece or a smooth r&b production. But I think it's terrific as is. That was a wonderful listen. Thanks.

Alan

This is how a country ballad should be sung!

You have the perfect country voice' I'm very envious! Your backing tracks are perfect for this song and your mix is super.

If I were you I would keep putting out songs like this one.

Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Really nice work on this one Gary smile A very beautiful and obviously sincere song. Your delivery here is truly heart warming. I'm getting all sorts of feelings from this one. I love that gentle, slow progression throughout as well.

You should be really proud of this one - thanks so much for sharing!

Hi Gary, I for one love your “old corn pone voice”. You made me chuckle when I read that but please don’t sell yourself short on your vocals. You have a raw authentic quality to your voice that seems to reach out and grab the listener and it is perfect for the genre you use in your songs! This song is another fine example of that! Thanks, Torrey

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."
