Dave & Marty,

Another super song and production. All the expected excellence from both of you shines in this great song. Love the tone on the lead guitar! Marty's bass just the right amount of punch.

A great example of excellence in music.

Take care,

Alan

What a good song, Dave. You have a real knack for writing catchy melodies and hooks that turn into earworms. Your vocals are quite engaging and wonderfully unique. Thanks for letting me play bass, and then making it sound even better in the mix. The video for this one is WAY over the top, and thanks for getting me involved with CoPilot.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Loved that axe!

Great vocal and mix.
Blues at its absolute best.

Hi Mario,

Man, Mike Bloomfield is one of the best guitarists that ever lived! WAY ahead of his time, better than all his contemporaries (in my opinion of course) and his playing still sound fresh today. I've heard most, maybe all, of his stuff. And of course the Super Session albums he did with Al Kooper are classic! Unfortunately due to his childhood he suffered from very low self esteem which led to drug and alcohol abuse.

Thanks for the support, very much appreciated!

Hi BlueAttitude,

Nice video to illustrate your composition. The melody is very pleasant. I noticed that you also like the bmp 85 which lends itself very well to very soft compositions. Well done. I appreciated.

Jani.

Quite a compliment coming from a pro like you smile Thanks!

There's a certain magic between you two.
Your voice sounds a bit raspier than usual, but I think it fits the song well.
Mixing/production is really good!

Yeah, we have fun which is what matters at the end of the day. Thanks!

I have a new mix, mostly tweaked the harmony vocal and the rhythm guitar.

Can't update the mix on YouTube, so new mix is up on ReverbNation: Music from the Soul

Music straight from the soul, and from the heart, you really tell what you are doing. I can feel how those guitar notes are directly connected to your soul. Great work with the vivid video that paints that soul on the canvas of musical realm. Excellent use of Marty, BIAB instruments and the drums sound really good. I enjoy to hear your singing, there's something very warm and personal.

I don't usually listen to much blues, but I could listen to Blue Attitude all day.

It has a real Santana feel to it. Nice chops y'all!

Wasn't intending it to sound like Santana, but I played a lot of his songs back in the day. Some of that style stuck I guess wink Thanks!

Love this song Dave. Boy does this sound good on the studio speakers. Excellent vocal and lyric. Guitar was awesome as well and Marty's basslines give the song such cool feel. Definitely felt the soul in this too.

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."
