https://soundcloud.com/torrey-bliss/roll-with-itI have always had a special affinity the R&B/Soul sound and it influences a lot of my music. I relied heavily on the band for this one! I wanted to go back and do something in this vein with this one. She (my wife) has put up with me for 40 years and this one's for her. I don't usually post tunes but about once a month or so but this one came to me in a days time and I quickly put it together before I forgot everything LOL!! Hope someone enjoys it!

Your vocal is most excellent. You hit the 70s groove right on the nail. Your guitar sounds so good that it's good enough (or better)to be a BIAB track.

Torrey,
An irresistable groove you`ve got going on this -you really sound like you`re on a high with this music- vocals, guitar ( the lead section with horns is sublme!) and arrangement all so on the money for the genre.
(Not sure if its even worth mentioning- there`s a touch of harshness I hear on `phones on the esses).
This had me rolling along from the opening drum beats - very well done!
Robert

Torrey,
There is a WHOLE BUNCH to LOVE about this.
It has a SUPER overall "catchy". Like how Robee Dupree's "Steal Away" is so very catchy. (An all-time favorite).
A truly AWESOME melody. What Pop music is ALL ABOUT!!!
The bass is OUTRAGEOUSLY good!
The funky crisp guitars are perfect. Horns to die for. Tasty lead guitar.
Drums are terrific. Awesome harmonies.
This is top-shelf, pro quality music making.
One "nit". The vocal (which is OUTSTANDING!!!!) needs some "warmth" to it. It has a high-EQ crispness that "takes it out of the mix". Maybe rolling off the high end or adding some middle??
THIS is SO damn good!!! Loved it. Best POP song ever on the forums. A hit.
Impressed.

Wow, Torrey. I was hooked before the end of the second bar and it just kept getting better. So many elements of this production resonated with me. I'm on my third listen right now and the only part that didn't sound quite as 'real' as the rest was the horns. It's not a big detractor and there may not be much you can do about that anyway. Thanks for brightening up my afternoon. 
My music may not set the world on fire but if it causes a glow in just one person's heart, it has all been worthwhile

Torrey,
Pretty sound you have going on here . . . a bit of Steely Dan here . . . catchy hook and sweet vocal—sits perfectly crisp in the mix. Very chill tune—impressive!
All my best,

Torrey,
at 1.44 there's a strange click - it may be in the RTs or something in production but you might like to reduce it if possible.
This arrangement and mix is SPOT ON.
I can easily picture this as the soundtrack to a music video very easily - you've the sound covered with the RTs and your own instrumentation.
The vocal is the icing, I don't hear the lack of warmth fj mentioned but I did note is was crisp on top which popped a couple of sibilant syllables higher than needed.
LOVELY stuff as always.
Cheers

To be clear... "warmth" is perhaps the wrong word. In no way meant to define the PERFORMANCE (which is terrific), but the overall "EQ-ness". Just a bit "too crisp" (I think) - some "roundness"? needed?? ...hard to describe it... and just "a bit". It is SUCH an excellent piece of work...

Hi Torrey, Man, you are on a roll! (see what I did there?  ) Two great songs within weeks of each other. This is as good as it gets, just top notch and totally professional. Great vocal, and man, I love your jazzy guitar style. Mix sounds great to me. I think I hear what Ray mentioned, missed it the first time but went back and specifically listened after I read his comment. Around 1:40 I think. And might be coming from the vocal track? Loved this one, Torrey, hearing material like this makes me strive to do better with my own productions.

Thanks Robert! You are such a valuable member of this forum with not only your work that you present but also the input and encouragement you give others on their work! Thanks, for the listen and comments! I sort of rushed putting this one up and missed some things that others like Floyd and Ray along with yourself mentioned regarding EQ, sibilant noise etc. I inadvertently applied the wrong vocal effects chain to my lead vocal and didn't realize it at first. It's close to the one I usually use but a little thinner sound! I have since replaced and edited out several clicks, pops, smacks etc. Hopefully it's a little less distracting now! T

Hi Torrey, this one is not just good - it's top notch in all respects. Not the first of your songs I consider to have absolute radio quality, but this one is outstanding. That's the kind of music I almost adore anyway, and the way you pleased my ears (and toes) was just grand. A classic compact (in the best possible sense) driving yet smooth composition - that's what I'd call 'the art of song writing. Very nice lyrics (I'm sure you'll get double Christmas presents from your wife this year ), extremely well-sung and perfectly arranged and produced. A perfect sunday morning treat - thanks a lot for sharing. All the best, Stefan Edit: Just called Maha to have a listen: She LOVED it, too !!!

Torrey, you nailed the R&B/Soul genre! Everything about this fits perfectly with that genre. Your vocal was great, your arrangement was great, your mix was great, and your lyrics were super. I am a big fan of your guitar chops!
PS, loved those horns also!

Outstanding! A lot of people try this genre but don't have the success you have here. Almost missed this, I discovered it as the followup tune on Soundcloud to a different tune from the showcase. Glad I caught it, you have a real winner here!!

Thanks Floyd for all the positive feedback! I really appreciate that you have taken the time to listen and comment! I have tried to address some of the eq issues you mentioned as I said in my reply to Robert. It's funny how an effects chain can sound different from song to song. Plus I also increased the tempo 3 bpm to give it a little more snap. T

Thanks Ghostgum! I appreciate the listen and comment! I don't think I'm quite done working with the horns in this one yet! I will probably be editing out a few places where they and the guitar are stepping on each others toes. T

Usually, I try to work through forum songs on a top-down basis. But when I saw there was a Torrey Bliss song, I cheated and skipped a few to get to it early. As usual, it doesn't disappoint! First of all, it's got that tone of a '70s classic. Then there's the catchy-as-hell chorus, and an excellent enthusiastic vocal driving it. Horns sit where they should, bass is fun... Everything just comes together and works. Most importantly, the song sticks with me after the song's done, and makes me want to play it again.

You have amazing ability to create catchy pop songs which sound strangely familiar but are still original in your own unique style. Well done with this one also, positive sound and story with perfect band, excellent vocals and very balanced mix.

I still have work to do on this track with editing and re-recording a couple of flat places in the lead and background vocals as well as possibly re-record the guitar solo but it's getting closer! Thanks so much for your continual positivity and support! I appreciate it! T

Well, we certainly enjoyed rolling with it! Steely Dan came to Janice's mind...she paid more attention to them than Bud Oh yeah, a little Doobie Bros also but ultimately it's Torrey goodness. 70's music was all over the map with multiple genres emerging and a few disappearing but this tune is a great example of the best of the period. Your guitar ALWAYS so well supports your melodies and arrangement. Just where it should be and never obtrusive. And what a tribute to your relationship with that positive and well done write. Right in our wheelhouse Vocals are outstanding. Extremely well performed and sitting perfectly in the mix. Great! J&B

Another great song Torrey!!! Has that 80's vibe that I dig....some Hall and Oates, Ambrosia, Kenny Loggins, etc... Really well done in every way.....a pleasure to listen to!! Take care. Greg

Outstanding, Torrey! I always enjoy your work. Great arrangement. I agree with Floyd. The vocal could use just a tad warmth to sit just a little better in the mix in my opinion. Great job on this one!

Torrey, you nailed the R&B/Soul genre! Everything about this fits perfectly with that genre. Your vocal was great, your arrangement was great, your mix was great, and your lyrics were super. I am a big fan of your guitar chops!
PS, loved those horns also! Thanks Mario! I appreciate your kind words and positive feedback! T

Outstanding! A lot of people try this genre but don't have the success you have here. Almost missed this, I discovered it as the followup tune on Soundcloud to a different tune from the showcase. Glad I caught it, you have a real winner here!!
Thanks Tunemonger! I appreciate your positive comments! T

Usually, I try to work through forum songs on a top-down basis. But when I saw there was a Torrey Bliss song, I cheated and skipped a few to get to it early. As usual, it doesn't disappoint! First of all, it's got that tone of a '70s classic. Then there's the catchy-as-hell chorus, and an excellent enthusiastic vocal driving it. Horns sit where they should, bass is fun... Everything just comes together and works. Most importantly, the song sticks with me after the song's done, and makes me want to play it again. Thanks David! I really appreciate that! T

I saw one other person mention Don Henley..... My immediate thought was this is classic Eagles, oh yeah....and with Timothy B Schmidt on the vox....
Excellent job.

You're one of my favorite vocalists and songwriters here on the forum and I always look forward to your posts. This is no exception and the song falls right into the wheelhouse of one of my favorite genres of music. Truly enjoyed this one. I shared the SC link on my FB page so all my friends can hear this one.

Outstanding, Torrey! Nice BIAB backing tracks. Your vocals (the lead as well as the sweet backing vox) and guitar playing are superb. Nice tribute to the love of your life. Bravo! Thanks Marc! I appreciate all that! T

When I saw the title I immediately thought of Steve Winwood...
but the actual song was reminiscent of Hall & Oates and even Steely Dan in places.
But at the end it is all Torrey Bliss! Good job on this crazy catchy tune!

[quote=Steve Young]Outstanding, Torrey! I always enjoy your work. Great arrangement. I agree with Floyd. The vocal could use just a tad warmth to sit just a little better in the mix in my opinion. Great job on this one!

Thanks Steve for having a listen and commenting! I have worked with the eq on this in the last few days. T

Excellent job. Thanks Herb! I always thought Henley had a soulful voice and when Timothy B was thrown in the mix it was a wonderful sound! It is certainly a sound to strive for! I appreciate your comments! T

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."
