Excellent vocal.

I mean, nice song, clear mix, solid write.

And I love it when everything stops and the horn spins on the B3.

Doubling the tempo at 4:10 is super-effective.

But still... that vocal.

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

Love it Herb! Very nice emotive vocal delivery! It's hard for us guitar players to sit out and let someone else play it (I've no doubt that you could have laid down an equally good solo) but you arranged a very good bluesy soulful track here! T

Agree with Tom - a real Etta James vibe in there as well.

Thanks... I looked up Etta and that's some cool old stuff and I get the reference.

Very strong and a voice full of tension (I think I've said this a lot of times before to you)
Enjoyed listening.

Nice band and mix and, yep, the Stapleton vibe was there for us also in the soulful vocal.

The solo RT was well chosen. Did you comp it up or get lucky on one generation?

Enjoyed it,

Thanks for listening. So yeah... that real track..... It was actually the solo track in the style. I opened the project in real band and this is the track it rendered for me. I actually didn't like it much when I first listened...but being pressed by other obligations, there wasn't a lot of time to imagine my own track and licks. Yep, this is a one time original shot. No comps in it. What I did however was some strategic and surgical editing with volume envelopes in Sonar. For example, I dropped a portion of the intro out and also cut off a bit here and there in the solo. Less is more as they say. So yeah, one well executed generation and some editing of volume.... waaa laaa!

Outstanding song and your best to date IMHO.


Thanks buddy. Yeah, anyone who's been married to the same one for a reasonable period of time will certainly relate to this tune.

Nice one,

Cool band and a very cool vocal performance.

Man I love those spinning horns too. It reminds me of a band story.... Years ago, I played in a band and the drummer left to go audition for a shot at the "big time" as he put it. Well, he showed back up a few days later with a keyboard player in tow. The big time wasn't what it seemed to be. But we ended up with an organ player for a few weeks. This guy was also a serious alcoholic. Southern Comfort liquor for breakfast kind of guy. Anyway, he had a white caddy and pulled a trailer as large as our band trailer. He had a Hammond B3 and a Leslie unit. Talk about heavy... OMG. It sounded really good and he could certainly play. However, that night that he stood up on his B3 and literally, yelling and cursing at the audience for requesting a song that he personally hated, was the final straw. It didn't help that he also fell off the B3 in the middle of it all..... Needless to say, the club was not very impressed with that escapade. It was a Moose Lodge kind of place and they promised us that we would never play there again or in any of their brother lodges in the entire state. Bad thing was, they paid really well. Jay was fired that very night but the club didn't care. The damage was done.

Thanks for listening to the song and my sad band story tale.


Edit.... doubling the tempo.... its not actually doubling the tempo. That kinda threw me so I went to listen where you indicated. It's a songwriting trick that I picked up somewhere along the way. If the groove or feel of the verse is slow, as this is, you simply put more words in the chorus or the bridge and change the rhythm and feel of the parts..... you can also do the opposite. Make the verses busy and chill on the chorus.

Yes... I think you are correct. It would have been fun to do my own solo and fills but, I got lazy and the existing one sounded fairly nice the more I listened so..... Yep

Thanks

And that is very true. Maybe a few word changes and certainly, this could switch easily.

Glad you liked it. Thanks

You seem like you like this.... I'm impressed even now, after having used BB for over a decade that it gives me such fine, well played, tracks.

Thanks
