Here is an uptempo song of mine featuring Dan Lippert on harmonica. I used BIAB drums, bass, and organ on the song. I added National resonator guitar and National resonator mandolin and sang the vocal. I think the drums and bass sound fantastic.

You can stream the entire album here: https://fredgrittner.bandcamp.com/

On Sweet Marianne the entire track features Dixieland RealTracks and RealDrums.

Fun tune!! Like the concept. Arrangement comes across very natural, and Dan plays a mean harmonica. Nice job!! Take care. Greg
