I used RD blues shuffle hard, 420 bass and 421 guitar. I have used 421 more than any RT, just a great track by Jack Pearson. I wrote the song, sang it (rare for me), played the harp part and played the guitar solo. I used Amplitube for the solo. Nothing great but it's Christmas. Thanks to all who made me so welcome in this my first year on the Showcase Forum. What a great time I've had. https://soundcloud.com/user-770148857/xmas-bluesI saw my baby with another man on Christmas Day, Yeah, I saw my baby with another man on Christmas Day I bought her all these presents, it took every bit of my pay I saw her go down, down to 14th and Park Yeah, I saw her go down, down to 14th and Park She stayed out all day, She didn't come home after dark I hope my baby comes home by New Year's Day, Yeah, I hope my baby comes home by New Year's Day, If she ain't home by New Year's, I'm gonna be crying til May

It's a good bluesy shuffle. the harmonica and guitar parts fit really well though the harmonica is a little loud - may benefit from some reverb and the guitar could use some heavier compression to even out the levels. Your vocal is cool but a fair bit sibilant which can be managed. It's a fun song.

Yeah! My favorite from you so far.
Good "blues" vocal, harp is right on the money, guitar not bad too.
Levels are a little off as Ray mentioned, but that's an easy fix.
Enjoyed!

Excellent Christmas Blues song.
Nice use of the BAND. I agree that the guitar solo could use a slight "taming".
You vocal is nice! (also agree that the sibilance should be addressed). Keep singing!!
Enjoyed this. A bunch.

Good recording. Great use of BIAB. Loved the harmonica and electric guitar parts. They fit it well with the entire mix. Good vocals. Fun song.

Great to hear your harp again and your guitar solo also. Busy moving along with that excellent shuffle beat I missed some of the lyrics- please post them. No reason to look for another vocalist- yours sound good and comfortable!

nice song - im curious as to what you are using on vocals (comp, reverb etc?) your vocals are fine, but they need some small fixes with a couple of plugins to be great. I would be glad to take a look if you would like me too have dropbox. good job either way :-)

Nicely done - I really liked the shuffling groove on this, and the vocals really help carry it along nicely too. It flows smoothly and got my toe tapping from the get go. Thanks for sharing
Cheers, Deryk

Hi TuneMonger,
I think I said it before: There's nothing like a good old blues shuffle.
And this one is a really classic one - a terrific pleasure to listen to !!!
Loved the harmonica and also the guitar solo, but I think you shouldn't hide your vocal abilities. Your singing really fits this genre perfectly.
And if you'de be coming up with one blues after another: I really wouldn't mind.
Great tune !
Cheers,
Stefan

Well, we listen daily to the blues and when it's a shuffle it's immediately right in our wheelhouse!
And, yep, hard to go wrong with Jack Pearson. His playing on the new jazz tribute to the Allman Brothers is great.
We thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of this...our only nit is that it was too short!
Hey, your vocal has the edge and soul for this...don't keep it "rare" any longer.

This song definitely gave me feels! That's the power of Blues and good lyrics! I feel really bad for the guy in the song.
Thanks for sharing!

Thanks to everyone for the kind comments. I am trying to learn how to get sibilance and similar problems out of vocals, but I'm just not figuring it out. It may take a long time - one day it clicks and then I'm good. But for the time being my vocals will always have flaws, even when I hire singers. I need to buy some equipment as well, I only use headphones at the moment. But thanks for the encouragement on all fronts, it's greatly appreciated. And I listen to all criticism, thanks for that as well!

Hi Tunemonger Found this a little raw and ragged. Made me smile. Isn't that what the blues is supposed to do? Good one. Richard.

I like this. Christmas blues could become a new genre. I enjoyed your harp and guitar work. I too think the Jack Pearson tracks are great. I used RT422 (blues solo) on my recent Lazy Dayz song. Cheers, Mike

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
