There was a duo back in the 70's and 80's from Texas...they called themselves "Harvest"...I always wanted to sound and write just like they did...I never could (I lacked their talent and giftings)...this song was my attempt to write in the style they wrote in and sing in the way they sang...it was just two guys but their songs usually had their vocals stacked with lush harmonies that they multitracked...this song is a tribute to "Harvest" they will never hear it but that's okay if you guys listen...hope you enjoy.

Man, another one that is top notch Dan. I haven't heard windchimes used much in a while and it did bring me back. Love your stuff, top quality.

That was awesome! Really well done.

Was the vibrato in the harmonies all you or did you use some kind of vocal effects pedal or something? There is a trilling quality in it that is just very interesting.

Great subject, too. smile

And if I may ask, what is that B3 that you used?

Very pleasantly surprised. This is really good. The vocals and backing vocals are first-class if you ask me!

What they said! Excellent vocals, smooth backing, nice write.

I like the way to lean into the rhymes.

Lovely work, as usual. smile

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

Sterling...thanks for your comments...so glad you liked the song...the vibrato is mine...been trying to shake that for years...I wanted really thick harmony so I sang three parts plus added a harmonizer to thicken it even more...if the vibrato was accentuated it's probably the harmonizer of my voice in the higher parts...the B3 is the rock organ on the Yamaha Tyros 5...I really like that patch and use it whenever I need a good organ part...thanks for listening and commenting...Dan

Very soothing Daniel both lyrically and the production...of course your vocals are amazing as well. Did you write this in 2001 and then just recently produced it with BIAB?

Dewey...thanks for your comments...yes I wrote this around 2001 and recorded it back then...I recently ripped the vocals off of that old recording...left the instrumental tracks I liked in and added new BiaB tracks to freshen the whole thing up and VOILA! a old song with a fresh sound...truth is almost every song I post on this forum is done that way.

202 New RealTracks Released with Band-in-a-Box 2026!

With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!

Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!

Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.

Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.

Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!

And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.

The 2026 49-PAK is loaded with other great new add-ons as well. Learn more about the 2026 49-PAK!
