I have a new release called "A Better Me".

It is (roughly) 95% Band-In-A-Box RealTracks.

IF you have a subscription to any of the major streaming services, you should be able to find it (search for "floyd jane").

It was put together to have the flow and feel of an album - like the records that we grew up listening to... it is not just a "bunch of songs thrown together".
I would label it "Americana-Singer-Songwriter". Some might disagree (but, of course you would have to actually listen to the whole thing to do that) smile

Several songs feature fellow PG forumites Janice Merritt and Tom Adams

You can find it on
Apple Music
Spotify
Pandora
Amazon Music Unlimited
and others...
(without a subscription, you can only hear snippets.
NOT the way to assess a record)


If you do not have a music subscription (and why IS that??) you can hear it on my web site


If you find the orange cover album, that is an old release BEFORE I was using BIAB...the new one is better (because it is all RealTracks!!).
It looks like this:

Thanks for posting the link. I don't pay for any streaming services or subscribe to any. I do have an Alexa so I'll see if the album's available on it. Sometimes there's a free trial version or otherwise limited version, so I'll try that. If not, off to your web site. I'm looking forward to hearing it.

Congrats, floyd!

I'm listening now over on Spotify. Also added you to the artists I follow over there and "liked" your album, for what that's worth wink

Sounds great, nice collection of songs.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to listen to any of the album.

And I appreciate the mention of the cover art...it is one of my paintings, so nice to have that noted as well...
