I wanted to write a song with extended note harmonies and bluegrass is the perfect genre for this. Hope you enjoy it!

Dewey,

Those BIAB bluegrass tracks are always solid.
Good mix.

"I'm covered in love like moss on a sedentary stone
I DON'T ROLL"

That is so clever, I would imagine it might slip by many...

Great stuff Dewey. Love the message and the writing, "I meant every word in that little white church from 'with this ring' to "I do" - great line. I thought the mix was really good and I really liked those harmonies as well.

Hi Dewey !
That's it! Now that's real bluegrass. With a little more nasal vocals, it's perfect! Great melody, great harmonies. The banjo player's not bad either! I'll listen to it in the car. Even if I'm not in the Appalachians, it should do the trick! Thanks

Oh, great truckin' song, Dewey. Heck, it's good for 4-wheelers, too. This fits nicely on my country-roads-just-enjoying-the-scenery-rides playlist. Excellent display of fine musicians fueling the trip with smiles. Great mix and a very cool song.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Cool song. I was expecting a couple of hard stops but the runs in place of the stops were good too.

I'd call that more country than bluegrass but now days the lines are getting blurred. There's a local Raleigh station that has a 3 hr bluegrass show and I'm hearing a lot of old rock and country songs being "bluegrassed" on that show.

I enjoyed it.

Hi, Dewey.

Great write, tells a good story with convincing details.

Clever hook. Nicely sung and excellent backing.

I like it! smile

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Thank you for listening and the kind comments folks! I think we all agree that BIAB does a great job with the bluegrass styles and the real tracks are AMAZING IMHO.

Na zdrowie!

Well done in write, vocals, track selection and mix.

We especially liked these lines:

I meant every word in that little white church
From 'with this ring' to "I do"
I chocked my wheels right then and there
My roaming days were through

Often folks who try BiaB bluegrass tracks use solo instruments as rhythm also.

From us old bluegrass band members and parking lot pickers smile you have a good feel for the genre and we enjoyed it!
