@BabuMusic - This is just great. The mixing and balance of the instruments is very pleasing to the ear. Great voice for blues too. I really like that twangin' guitar in there. Thank you, Ed. This software really makes it so much fun to put together a band. Marty,
my favourite lines:
I'll give up drinkin' and make you my drug.
I'm tired of sleeping on this filthy rug.
Robert Thank you, Robert. And, since you mentioned "filthy" instead of "dirty", you made it all the way to the end. Thanks, man. Hey Marty ...
doing a little side-to-side chair dancing as I listen. Uh ... it ain't a pretty sight!
Wishing you the best. Be safe ...
Alan Ah, Alan, it would be a very uplifting sight to me. Thank you. Stay well.

You know Blues!
Sounds a little country a little blues.
Enjoyed that.
Thanks, Captain. Marty, I love the fact that you threw caution to the wind and wrote new lyrics even though I didn't hear the first ones! These work for sure! You've got a great feel for blues for sure! Enjoyed it all the way! Take care, Torrey Thanks, Torrey. You, too! Your vocal performance sounds like the authentic experience.
I enjoyed listening to this one! Thanks, Ezekiel! Nice blues number. Good production. Bass well played. Thank you, jptjptjpt. Great groove! Great concept! Great voice! Great delivery! Isn't that what a great song is? The answer is a resounding YES!
I really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing it.
-Caaron Thanks for the great comment, Caaron. I gotta say I really like your HearToLearn and your signature.

Marty,
This is great! Your skills in both performance and productions are stellar. Bass glues things really well. Vocals have a very "live" feel, not over processed, yet sit very comfortably in the mix. Quality stuff! Enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing.

Marty, not only do you know the blues you can sing the hell out them!
I have huge blues collection, both vinyl and CD, and if I had heard this in a record store I would have bought it right then and there.
This is absolutely some of the best blues I have heard.

Hey Marty,
I nearly missed this song of your Blues feelings! I think to busy avoiding Covid attacks overhere (or making songs from poems).
And man, I think you know Blues, that's for sure! I wanted to write I liked the solopart with the leadguitar, or the story, but it turns out I liked everything in this song. Well... maybe your voice can be more raw. No, I'm kidding.
But I was also thinking you have no studio now and live in a misserable situation. If I had to live like that, Marty, see what blues I would make then! ;-)

Hi Marty,
Those who know me here know I love the blues and this is just my kind of thing.
A great relaxed blues backing with an excellent solo, all wrapped up in a perfect mix.
But the best bit for me is your fabulous vocal delivery. Shades of Joe Cocker in there, of
whom Ray Charles once said - "He's the only white man I know who can sing the Blues."
More please...
ROG.

This is absolutely some of the best blues I have heard. Wow, Over-the-top, Mario. I usually only play bass because I can't sing and play simultaneously. It's like I use my vocal chords (sorta) when I play, and use my fingers (sorta) when I sing. With your encouragement, maybe I should grab the mic more often. But then who would play bass? Thanks again, man. Hey Marty,

ROG. Wow, ROG. Thanks you, fellow bluesman. That Joe Cocker reference blew me away, and I agree with Ray (almost). I always thought Joe sang like a bass player playing air bass.

It's no secret we love the blues and we love this! You've got the soulful voice for the genre...you either get it or you don't in our opinion when it comes to the blues. Not a lot of middle ground  Nice blues write and production and very well done RT solos. And you have some great bass chops to go with that vocal! Enjoyed the audio and video. J&B
Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more. If interested search on Janice Merritt. Thanks! Our Videos are here on our website.

Band-in-a-Box 2026 Video: AI Stems & Notes - split polyphonic audio into instruments and transcribe
This video demonstrates how to use the new AI-Notes feature together with the AI-Stems splitter, allowing you to select an audio file and have it separated into individual stems while transcribing each one to its own MIDI track. AI-Notes converts polyphonic audio—either full mixes or individual instruments—into MIDI that you can view in notation or play back instantly.
