I spent the month of September visiting relatives and old friends in Georgia and then in Texas. Also I was there for my Moms 91st birthday. On the drive back we ran into quite a bit of rain, when I got home and someone asked about the trip I responded with “well, just a few miles north of Nashville…” I heard myself and made a mental note of that line. So, the first two lines are from something recent that I lived thru, the rest is fiction that I lived thru. When I finish one of my home demo recordings I always reward myself with a nice cold Dr. Pepper! Now you know more about me than most folks. Skol! Salud! Here’s to ya. Hope you enjoy the listen, I’m open to mix level suggestions, or noticeable clams, etc. Thanks http://kennyleverett.bandcamp.com/track/promise-of-rainPromise Of Rain © 2018 Kenny Leverett 10/04/2018 Just a few miles north of Nashville Caught in a hard September rain In a sea of cars all drowning Motionless and trying to maintain Too much time to think about The things that finally pulled us apart Now doctors lawyers counselors Can’t mend two broken hearts And it’s an old familiar thunder Always with the promise of rain Movin on in a wide eyed slumber Thinking we can leave behind the pain Just a few miles north of Nashville And the rain keeps coming’ down Fighting everything inside me That says turn this car around And it’s an old familiar thunder Always with the promise of rain Movin on in a wide eyed slumber Thinking we can leave behind the pain And it’s an old familiar thunder Always with the promise of rain RT Bass 1190 RT Pedal Steel 2542 RT Drums BluesRockSlow EV side stick RT Guitar Bckgrnd Dreamy 367 RT Guitar PopBalladSlowGritty 842 (A: arp) RT Guitar Soloist 1513

That was good. I mean, good. Songwriting, singing, production. I hope you don't need me to tell you it was good. You well earned that Dr. Pepper.
Took a while to "hear" the delay in the vocals. Very tasteful and not "effecty". Nice work.
Also had to look and see that was a BIAB soloist. Nice work there too.
Dang, grab you a six-pack!

Excellent Kenny!
Great lyrics, love the first verse especially. And your vocal is always special, lots of passion and great tone.
"Band" sounds great and I think the mix is spot on too. A little too much delay on the vocal for my tastes, but it didn't take away from my enjoyment of the song.

Really nice work, Kenny  Precisely the kind of tune you can just get lost in and drift away to. Very relaxing, and very easily to digest. Love your vocals on this, and it is the perfect level of catchy too. You should be proud of this one - thanks for sharing!
Cheers,
Deryk

Kenny,
An Excellent, Top-Notch write! You seem to get better with each song (and you were "top-notch" to begin with!)!!
I love! your melodies!!! So "right" - sing-able, interesting, often unexpected.
Your lyrics are polished, yet "raw". Never cliche. A delight. Exceptional.
The production is super. Elegant. Your vocal, as always, has "heart".
THIS is a great listen.
(I thought the vocal was a bit more "crispy" than it should be)

Kenny,
Tangmo summed up my thoughts nicely:" That was good. I mean, good. Songwriting, singing, production. I hope you don't need me to tell you it was good. You well earned that Dr. Pepper."
Your vocals have a kind of visceral, attention grabbing quality I always enjoy and you don`t disappoint here.That said, I thought the delay on verses subtle as it is, was a bit distracting -worked for me on the chorus.
Robert

Thanks Dave, I appreciate your kind words, I went back and cut the delay just a little will probably repost with a few other tweaks. My hearing is getting so bad that I'm mostly using presets and not tinkering too much so I'm looking for advice, thanks

Cool to bring up how you reward yourself.  For me it's an A&W root beer. As someone already said this one represents a well deserved Dr. Pepper for you.

Kenny, what a great laid-back feel this tune has! It’s perfect for the subject matter! I love how the melody in the second line of each verse re-traces the steps of the first line to me it really makes the song! Great work again as always! Thanks, Torrey

beatmaster, thanks for the listen and the kind words, I appreciate that you find the music relaxing and laid back while the character in the song is suffering from anxiety and on the verge of tears. It's all good, I'm not trying to be sarcastic Everybody hears songs differently, that's a great thing Thanks

Good singing and melody. I really like the lyrics. The following stood out for me:
Now doctors lawyers counselors
Can’t mend two broken hearts
And it’s an old familiar thunder
Always with the promise of rain
Brilliant!

“Just a few miles north of Nashville
Caught in a hard September rain
In a sea of cars all drowning
Motionless and trying to maintain”
Man, what a way to kick off an emotion drenched tune.
This is one of those tunes that’ll rip the paint right off our your heart.
It’s a great write, sung soulfully and excellently produced with a very effective BiaB group of musicians.
High bar, indeed.

Hello, Kenny
Wonderful slow Ballad!
Great vocal and nice melody.
Reverb effect on vocal is beautiful.
It is also very cool to start from Am despite the tune in C major key.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Beautiful ballad, the melancholy chording fits nicely these darkening and rainy days. The effect on vocals sounds like whispering leaves when they fall. Great production, the solo guitar is excellent choice.

I always (I mean always) love your stuff Kenny!! BUT, this is at the very top of your stuff! GREAT EVERYTHING!!! Vocals have never been better. I'm guessing the solo Brent....he has a way of fitting into songs in a way that sounds custom. AWESOME!!! Take care. Greg

This has a flow and vibe like some of Jackson Browne's greatest songs... I love what you have done here.
Your vocal is outstanding as well - one of the best I have heard from you (and they are always great).
Love the overall attention to detail and production.

Kenny,
You bring so much class to this forum. Everything you post is among the very best. ANd man, this just grabs the listener by the heart and compels him listen. WOW- and WOW again. You always amaze me. If I had half your talent, I;d have twice as much as most other folks. BTW, I liked it alot!
And I think already know I'm with you on the Doctor Peppers - just bought two cases yesterday. I never leave home or go home without one!

Kenny,
This is a terrific listen.
You've done a super job with the backing and its arrangement so that it brings out the self-reflection, self-doubts and the haunting sense of loss that follows when a relationship ends. Your singing is a perfect fit and resonates with the lyrics emotional intensity.
I really like floyd's description of your lyrics where he says, "Your lyrics are polished, yet "raw". Never cliche. A delight. Exceptional." I totally agree.
I enjoyed where your journey took me. Wonderful songwriting and song-presentation.
All the best,
Noel

Some great lines here! Wonderful write!
(not to mention the line in your description of the song "the rest is fiction that I lived through")
Wonderful guitar work and very emotive song altogether!

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."
