Alan,
This is nice! Great to see someone use the acoustic blues RT. Everything about this is "in the right place". You do a good job of finding the gems in BIAB...
Excellent mix (as always). You make good music.
Is 570:Guitar, Slide, Soloist Blues Monday Sw 060 the only soloist used? (the leads don't sound like a slide RT)
fj Hi Floyd. Thank you so very much. I really enjoy any shuffle blues and these slower ones always seem to pull a little harder on the emotions, in my opinion. You'd probably be surprised how much time I spend looking for various tracks. My bad on the track listing. I dropped the slide and used a brent mason track instead. I'll go back and find which one it was and post it for you. After I swapped the guitars, I forgot to copy the changed song memo. Thank you again for your encouragement. Best to you & yours. Alan

Really nice work Alan! Love the bluesy vibes here, and the mix is superb. It sounds really crisp, and really professional. Wouldn't bat an eyelash hearing this on the radio. The groove is perfect too - I love how you incorporated that walking bass. Thanks for sharing Hi Deryk, Always appreciate when you, and the other PG Music folks, stop in for a listen. I wouldn't mind hearing it on the radio myself! It's hard to beat a good walking bass on a lot of songs. Glad it works for you here. Best to you. Alan

fj Floyd, I've updated the RT for the lead guitar, in the song intro message. It's: RealTracks in song: 2686:Guitar, Electric, Soloist BluesSlow12-8BrentSimple Sw 065

Alan..I really liked how you kicked this track off, with that couple of bars of acoustic(?), before launching into the band; immediately hooked me with that! And throughout, a thoughtful selection of parts, etc.--added lots of interesting colorations and bits, caused me to listen very carefully. Blues patterns are so familiar, you can wind up just sitting back, letting it soak in (while you sip your bev)--nothing wrong with that, but taking the extra effort to choose parts, add items like the walking bass, etc. turn the track into more than just 'background blues' and into something that you want to listen closely to. Great work!

Great work! Hi!, A little behind on listening and replying due to wife's health issues. I, too, liked the acoustic lead in. No good explanation - just sounded good, so I did it. I sincerely appreciate your comments about adding some of the little things. I do what i can to make 'em sound good! I was a lead guitar player in a band for over 50 years - I guess I picked up a few worthwhile things along the way. Delighted to hear you enjoyed it - many thanks! Alan

That is nice. The only thing that struck me as odd was the metal style clicky tin foil kick drum sound - it's almost the same as the snare.

Hello, Alan
Great contemporary blues! I agree with Torrey. You really captured the true BB vibe on this! That walking bass really pulls this thing together! As Mario says, B&B, Beer and Blues go together like love and marriage. Or, Bourbon and Blues on the rocks. I thought that Bourbon would fit this song. Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

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:
Friday, March 29: 8-4
Saturday, March 30: 8-4
