Rock n Roll has always been a favorite genre of mine since I grew up in the 50’s & 60’s. My first band was formed by me and my best friend Hulus Key back in 1962 (I have another song about that subject). I thought that a small collage of songs would be interesting to do to remember that era. I decided to post the first photo of my first band that was taken in 1962 by my dad. The beginning will immediately make you think of a particular song but that’s where it ends. Thanks to BIAB for creating a magnificent piece of software to allow us to make music at a fraction of the cost of doing it the conventional way. As always I used RealTracks and Daniel Hensley on the vocals. Remembering Rock and Roll Down in Louisiana close to New Orleans He met a young girl who was sweet sixteen Good golly miss molly it wasn’t Peggy Sue But that’s all right it was Susie Q Let’s dance, shake rattle and roll Let’s dance, let the good times roll Rocking around the clock and they didn’t tire Goodness gracious great balls of fire Let’s dance, shake rattle and roll Let’s dance, let the good times roll Rocking around the clock and they didn’t tire Goodness gracious great balls of fire Style - _TBLZRAS.sty Drums - Blues rock ev - Shannon Forrest Bass - 1750 - Electric - Texas blues rock n roll - Dave Francis Piano - 1565 - Acoustic - Rock n roll - John Jarvis Guitar 1 - 884 - Electric rhythm - Texas blues rock low - Mike Durham Guitar 2 - 881 - Electric rhythm - Texas blues rock high - Sandy Williams Solo Guitar - 1725 - Electric soloist - Texas blues rock n roll - Sol Philcox Solo Sax - 1951 - Alto soloist - Texas blues rock n roll - Mark Douthit HP AMD Athlon(tm)II B28 processor with 3.4 GHz 16GB ram - Mixcraft 6 DAW with Waves Diamond effects - 32" Westinghouse flat screen monitor - Focusrite Saffire Pro 14 interface - Studio Projects B1 mic Sony MDR 7506 and Sennheiser HD 202 headphones - 2014 BIAB.

Rock and Rollll , Sonny and Daniel, This is a foot-tapping throwback tribute to the good ol days. Nicely put together. I have to say that I didn't think the intro guitar was the right fit. The sax was perfect. That is such a great real track. Everything sounded really good and it is a nice little write for this type of medley. I just thought the lead guitar wasn't quite right, however I enjoyed the listen and knocked out the rhythm the whole time. Tom

Hi Sonny,
a heartening tribute to Rock 'n' Roll.
Daniel is a great singer. I especially
like the background vocals.
Very enjoyable listen.

50's & 60's rock is also one of my favorites genres. Your vocals are strong and spot on ... nicely done! And the sax was killer. Loved the arrangement and chord progression. I agree with Tom about the intro guitar. It comes across as too modern for the rest of the song. Everything else in the song is a perfect fit for the late 50's & early 60's. But the intro guitar sounds more like 70's Metal. That all said, great song and a super listen. enjoyed it a bunch!

Sonny (And Daniel),
Another terrific listen.
Excellent vocals (again).
Everything sounds good, but, as Tom and Alan said, the guitar solos don't fit. If you cannot find the right RT solo, there are a number of good guitarist right here in the forum. Tom seems mighty busy these days writing and recording killer songs. But Herb has offered a number of times to do some soloing - why not ask him to give it a try...
I am enjoying your musical journey.
Love that picture - wish we could see it bigger...

I agree, that the guitar did not sound like the 50's. I like the lyrics though. Still nicely done (vocals are great).

I would like to thank everyone for visiting my post and I do appreciate all the comments that I have
received from all of you (very professional and courteous). I do need to explain what I was trying to do with this song (comments about the lead guitar -well received and understood ) for my intentions were to take this song from a modern viewpoint with modern instruments and look back and remember some of the oldies but goodie songs as the band is playing live to a modern audience. I am sure that some of you have done this or have experienced this from other bands. I have already done a pure sound (as close as I could get) with the song 1957 to really depict that actual time period. Sorry for the confusion. I will try and do better next time.
Sonny

Sonny, you and Daniel are a great team. Great 60's vibe and I too questioned the guitar but then I read your other post and went yeh, I've done that and now see what you were trying to achieve. Either way I enjoyed the song a lot I will try and do better next time. Please stand in the corner and write that 100 times just like Bart in the Simpsons    Alyn ps great picture of your 1962 band, the earliest picture of me in a band is 1966, also taken by my Dad

Liked the song - great vocal clever write.
I'd be happy to play a couple of solos(although I understand what you were doing and you probably want to keep it that way) - not sure how the collaboration thing works though.
Perhaps Floyd or someone who has been here longer could give details about how they share files and make contact etc (Dropbox?).
Anyway good song.

He use to be a singing waiter at the Chattanooga Choo Choo restaurant and he said they did some old rock n roll songs there and that he enjoyed doing it. Sonny

Hey I think it would great to have you and everyone else who plays a guitar do their solo on this song and we can post the results for everyone to hear! Yeah, that would be so interesting to hear the different results and styles. If you are ok with this I will get the ball rolling. Sonny
