Hi all.
This song was inspired by "Copper Head Road"
All comments welcome.

The Fiddlewood Tree



If any thing bad should happen to me.
I've buried my gold by the fiddle wood tree

The a sheriff and a posse chasing after me.
You know I'm done for.

One last kiss I ask of you before
I lay dead on the mountain dew.

There's a gun and bullet gonna shoot me through.
You know I'm done for

Chorus
I wanna dance all night neath the waxing moon
with you.
Had no idea that life could be so cruel

Bridge

The hounds are baying they smell my blood.
I pray for mercy from the lord above.
Is no time to get back to you. You know I'm done for

They'll hang me high from the fiddle wood for a
warning to the folks that look at me.
The golds still buried beneath my feet.
Though I'm done for

Chorus
I wanna dance all night neath the waxing moon
with you.
Had no idea that life could be so cruel

If any thing bad should a happen to me.
I buried my gold by the fiddle wood tree

There's a sheriff and a posse chasing after me.
You know I'm done for.

One last kiss I ask of you before
I lay dead on the mountain dew.

I know there's a bullet gonna shoot me through.
You know I'm done for

Ace job Rob.
The only thing I'd note is that the acoustic guitar on the left, when it comes in, overwhelms the mandoli on the other side a little.
I might even be inclined to alter the volume envelope so that the mando plays the emphasis hits as well.
Cool.


Cheers

Really nicely done! Love the folky vibe on this. It sets a whimsical atmosphere, and the instrumentation is really lush and full. Enjoyed the stream of consciousness style lyrics here too.

Great work, and thanks for sharing smile

Another nicely written tune...
With great lyrics in the vain of Robbin's Gunfighter Ballads...
I really enjoyed this one!

You outdid yourself on this excellent tune. Your vocal was really strong and the lyrics where great, as was your mix.

You could put out a CD using this genre and I think that it would sell!


I just posted a selfie and all of the responses were get well soon!

Catchy as hell. Great arrangement - I love it when the fiddle comes in.

The kind of thing I'd find on my parent's records, and play until the groove was bare. laugh

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

Another super vocal. Loved the mandolin. Gave the song such cool feel. Steve Earle-ish. Well done

Rob,
Excellent use of the Americana tracks - love the mandola and mountain fiddle.
A good story and very catchy repetions in the melody.
This style really suits your voice and you`ve done a great job on the production.
Definitely one of your best!

Excellent arrangement, nice lyric, loved the "done for" emphasis.
As usual a great vocal to top it off.

Floyd said it for me! There is such a strong mood that comes through in this song, and amazingly natural organic sounding "band"! Certainly one of my faves of yours!! Take care. Greg

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
