Hi, Tony. Welcome to the Showcase....
A lot of cool stuff going on in this. You have obviously put a lot of work into it...
The opening CB sounds are well done. (cool stuff at the end, too...)
The vocals are well recorded... Good mix... the guitars sound good - steel, too.. good background vocals.
Nice shots - sound very natural.
(I'm sure a lot of folks would like to see the lyric posted... a good write)
This is really well done. Looking forward to hearing more from you...

Welcome aboard. I like all of the
realistic descriptions of driving a
truck...sounds like it was written
by somebody that understands it.
I suppose this is style of country is
called "old school" nowadays but I'm
old and enjoyed it!
I'd also like to see the RT's used.

Tony, This has a lot of good things happening in it. You did a nice job on editing the guitar and steel. Sounds like you've been doing this awhile. I look forward to hearing more of your work. Tom

Great song Tony! You did a good job with all the instruments and you and your wife have nice voices. I would like to know what you used from BIAB and would liked to have seen the lyrics. I enjoyed listening.

Tony, wow!
Sensational delivery. Obviously a lot of work went into this. The instruments are all great
My only comment is that the instrumental break could come up front a little bit. Your presentation takes a lot of beating. Love the intro and outro, but the song sells itself.
Great work.

Hi Tony.
A great piece of classic country.
I liked the instrument choice and the arrangement.
Excellent vocals and a good powerful mix.

Hi Tony,
Very pleasant to listen to.I am aware of the work on the soloist tracks.
Good idea for the radio discussion as intro and end

Very well done!! You arranged the RTs in a very natural way. The vocals are great, and the mix perfect. It has a retro sound to it-not just the song but the mix. Curious how you recorded and processed the vocals. Great stuff! Welcome!! Take care. Greg

Wow THANKS all... I will have to look and see what I used for tracks in this one. Here is a description of the process I have developed using BB, RB and my DAW which is Samplitude Music Studio 2016. 1. Enter the chords and song pattern in BB, I use the full format. One chorus and lay out the song in one sheet. Sometimes I need to add a basic band or acoustic guitar sound to be sure I have things correct. 2. Once the song is how I want it to be, I make sure the stops, holds etc are correct or what I want. Add a ruff vocal to BB as the next step involves porting it over to Real Band. 3. In Real band I import the SGU file and start building on the bed tracks with whatever I want to add, piano’s, organ, acoustic guitars, electric guitars etc. Save the file as Real Band file (I forget the file extension right now) 4. For the soloists I pick 2 main instruments, usually the ones that will take the intro, extro and solo then add one or two others to share the fills etc. 5. For the soloist I make sure I have the into and extro I want by using the multi-riff tool. Then I create 3-5 tracks per solo or fill instrument to pick through for everything else. That may seem like a lot but I took that from the way I was recording real bands in my studio, getting them to lay down a few tracks to pick from, or mix and match. Once done I export everything to the song folder as wave files. 6. Then in my DAW (Samplitude Music Studio 2016) I add the wave files and place them in the DAW in my own little odd order that I have…lol. 7. I have many preset mixer settings created so it’s quick and easy to get the basic sound for everything I have. If I have a new instrument, I dial up the sound I want and save it for later. 8. Then from front to back I create the track as I hear it with the instruments I have chosen, picking things to fill where they sound best. I go through each track (sometimes 20 or more) to pick the one I feel is going to give me the best sound. I mix as I go so that I am not trying to do all of it at the end. 9. Adding final and harmony vocals I re-mix making sure everything is how I want and it should be. 10. Create a wave and MP3 version, and send it to a few chosen people that give me constructive yet objective feedback. All in a days work...well maybe a weeks work.  I'd say that Diesel Dave took me about 20 hours or so to complete from start to finish, maybe 25 but no more. Thanks again

Sounds like the CB craze is back!! Nice retro feel to this one. Good mix, arrangement and production. The vocal is a really good fit for the song.
Enjoyed my listen. Will be back for more, just want to hunt up my old CB to put on my desk for my next listen.
