You might be wondering why Janice, with a voice like an angel, would agree to sing a duet with me. I don't know either, but being probably Janice's biggest fan, I'm SO pleased she did. I'm particularly surprised because this song takes Janice in a different direction to her usual work, but when the track came back I was left in no doubt that Janice can turn her hand to anything she chooses. Many thanks Janice. The RTs are - Drums RD Hip Hop Harmonica RT602 Sax RT1643 Bass RT514 The Brass, Hammond and Guitars are down to me. ALL I NEED IS YOUI don't need no weather man to say Just how the wind is blowing I don't need no Google maps because I know which way I'm going And I don't need to take no pills Any time I'm feeling blue And I don't need nobody 'Cos all I need is you. I'm not looking for a hero I'm not looking for a king I'm not looking for a millionaire Don't need that kind of thing And I'm not looking for a therapist Just to help me think it through And I'm not looking for nobody 'Cos all I need is you. Sometimes I wonder What it is can make me feel this way Sometimes I wonder What it is that makes me feel this way I don't want no confrontation I don't want to shout or scream I don't want no empty promise I don't want no foolish dreams And I don't want to play no games The kind that leave you feeling blue Oh yeah, yes it's true And I don't want nobody 'Cos all I want is you. Everything was recorded in Realband except Janice's vocal which Bud recorded. The mix and mastering was done in Powertracks. As usual, many thanks to all who have time to listen. ROG.

I'm not lookin' for Frank Sinatra or Bonnie Raitt... All I need is what I got from this song... and it was just perfect!
Not only was this a different kind of project for Janice, but you used a little more RT in this song.. you usually do it all! (in fact, you still did quite a bit of it! And that's part of the ROG magic that keeps drawing me back to your songs with anticipation!)
What can I say...? I LOVED THIS! Totally natural feel to the song, fun and groovy, with all the parts working together to fill out the empty spaces in the song!
Janice, you really are an amazing chameleon who adapts perfectly to your song environment! You've shown us over and over again that you can step into any song and make it your own!
Rog, I like everything about this song.. that bass RT is a great fit... and the harmonica snippet used as a motif REALLY works well.. especially in conjunction with the horns!
I also like the use of echo on multiple tracks.. it gives the whole song a very "live" arena feel!
One of the challenges inherent to any project (audio or video) that mixes media from different sources, is that of unifying the look and feel so it all comes across as a unified projects instead of a bunch of disparate clips that got assembled together like clip art. You really did an EXCELLENT job of making all the elements work together.. it really does sound like it was all recorded live on the same stage at the same time.
The interpersonal dynamics between you and Janice are reminiscent of the Sonny and Cher stage dynamic... which I always thought was very charming and that it contributed greatly to their likeability
I also want to say that both of you sound like you're having a TON of fun with this! I want to watch this act play live!
Two ENTHUSIASTIC thumbs (plus all my toes) up!

Great collaboration. Now that we have PGMusic Radio, can PGMusic TV be far behind - Especially since we have PGSonny and PGCher!!
Loved this. Lots of energy.

Two ENTHUSIASTIC thumbs (plus all my toes) up! Thank you Pat! Bud has tried to get me to "go rock" for some time  and Rog gave me a great opportunity to attempt that with a very cool song. I'm so glad you think what I did worked. And yes it was a TON of fun! Janice

ROG, This is a joy to listen to! (buncha times) Great mix. Drums sound good. Awesome job on the horns!!! I would never think to combine horns and harmonica in the same song. Works well together... Sax + horns = excellent. Nice guitar touches...bass comes through nicely... The chick singer is spectacular!!! Excellent vocals throughout. Y'all blend well. (A small thing. The harmonica opening sounds "pieced together" - a "less than natural" stop between the first two pieces/uses. It sounds good after the rest of the music starts - really good - great - throughout the rest of the song) And, one more time... this is a super mix! floyd

This is a excellent collaboration, the timing, and draping in and out of the vocals was spot on.
Good lyrics, good beat, great arrangement.
Janice this song let you fly; it fitted you like a glove

Two ENTHUSIASTIC thumbs (plus all my toes) up! Hi Pat. Thanks for such a full and detailed review. Yes, I did use quite a few RTs this time. I'm useless with any instrument which you have to blow, so the RTs are perfect. I tend to record everything right from the start in Realband and miss out BiaB altogether. I think Realband is the most underestimated program and is the hidden secret of the BiaB package. It's like having your own professional recording studio, but with a whole bunch of world-class session musicians waiting in the recreation room, just in case you need them. As you know, I like to play a lot of the guitar and keyboard tracks, but having access to 100s of RTs for the rest is unbelievable. I don't usually bother with a style, because I can't always say what my style is - I just pick RTs from the list which suit what I'm doing. And, of course, this track would simply not have worked without Janice showing that she can sing soul and rock with the best of them. As you correctly guessed - this was SO much fun. Cheers, ROG.

Donny Hi Don. Many thanks for the listen. I love the harmonica RTs. It's an instrument which I always wanted to play, but I just can't get to grips with, so being able to use such a good realtrack is amazing. Cheers, ROG.

It's a cool thing.
I do need to add that the reverb on the male vocal is a bit too heavy against the rest of the song - sounds like that singer is in another room. The female reverb is similarly heavy but suits a little better.
The male vocal - probably due to the reverb - sounds a little out of tune in the 1st verse.
Great work so far.
Cheers

You would not believe the trouble I had with those harmonica phrases! After re-generating the track about fifty times, I found that phrase, but it had a bit of noise at the end. In a mix it wouldn't show, but exposed on the intro it was going to be a problem. I really wanted the intro to sound like it does, so I edited out the noise, but then the phrase ended too suddenly. I tried to EQ it out but that didn't work either. I finally opted for cutting and then applying reverb to extend it. I applied a general reverb on the channel insert, but also had to render some extra reverb on to the last half second of the phrase. Thought I'd got away with with it, but should have remembered your super-keen hearing! Anyway, well spotted and thanks for all the nice things you said. Cheers, ROG.

Good news- we've extended our Band-in-a-Box® 2026 for Mac® special offers until May 31, 2026!
Band-in-a-Box® 2026 is packed with major new features, enhancements, and an incredible lineup of new content! The program now sports a sleek, modern GUI redesign across the entire interface, including updated toolbars, refreshed windows, smoother workflows, a new dark mode option, and more. The brand-new side toolbar provides quicker access to key windows, while the new Multi-View feature lets you arrange multiple windows as layered panels without overlap, creating a flexible, clutter-free workspace. We have an amazing new “AI-Notes” feature. This transcribes polyphonic audio into MIDI so you can view it in notation or play it back as MIDI. You can transcribe an entire track (all pitched instruments and drums) or focus on individual parts like drums, bass, guitars/piano, or vocals. There's an amazing collection of new content too, including 202 RealTracks, new RealStyles, MIDI SuperTracks, Instrumental Studies, “Songs with Vocals” Artist Performance Sets, Playable RealTracks Set 5, two RealDrums Stems sets, and much more!
There are over 100 new features in Band-in-a-Box® 2026 for Mac®.
When you order purchase Band-in-a-Box® 2026 before 11:59 PM PDT on May 31st, you'll also receive a Free Bonus PAK packed with exciting new add-ons.
