Blue Ridge Morning Mist

FOR SOME REASON, THERE'S NO SOUND ON THE TRACK WHEN YOU CLICK ON TO IT. WHEN I GO TO THE SOUNDCLOUD SITE, IT PLAYS JUST FINE. I'LL GET BACK TO THIS WHEN I FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM.

** I THINK IT'S FIXED NOW. LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE PLAYBACK
**


This is one I threw together in about 3 hours yesterday afternoon. The closest I can come to a genre is Americana Pop. If that wasn't already a recognized genre, I guess I just started it! It's all acoustic. I particularly like the nuances BIAB gave me for the acoustic lead guitar in the last verse. To me, they're a little more elegant than the previous acoustic lead. There are a couple of squeaks from the acoustic lead near the beginning of the first verse. I could have eliminated them with the Multiriff option, but after 11 or 12 generations, the musical aspect wasn't as good in any of them, so I left the squeaks in the mix with a bit of EQing to minimize them a bit.

As I mentioned, this is a quick throw-together, but I hope it sounds half-way decent. The name is a bit clumsy, but it's what came to mind.

Alan,

This sounds great. I love the variety of instruments and the way they play off each other. It feels like a real ensemble piece. Beautiful and flowing...

Excellent!

Alan, this sounds really cool! The jazzy chord progression played with acoustic folk/country/pop instruments gives this a unique, pleasing texture. "Americana Pop"? Sounds as good as anything to me. You were more productive in these three hours yesterday than I was all day...well done!!

Smooth and jazzy. Title works for me. The fiddle gives it the Blue Ridge touch. Excellent arrangement and instrumentation.

Alan, isn't it amazing how sometimes those quick and dirty songs turn out as one of your best?
This is an outstanding song.
Great use of RTs
Super mix.
I would classify this as acoustic smooth jazz.
Super song.


My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Hi Ron,

Thanks for the time to listen and comment so nicely. You probably know that I like to play around with chord progressions. This one is relatively simple, but seems to work. Most of my songs, that I post here, take 8 hours or less - usually 4-6 hours, to do from first thought to posted. Glad you enjoyed your listen.

Take care,

Alan

HI Mario,

Acoustic Smooth Jazz sounds good. I really appreciate your very nice comments - always do. Try like heck to stay warm. here in Northern Alabama we're having one of the coldest winters in almost 40 years. Single digit temps three nights in a raw with highs in the teens and lower twenties. Walmart sold a lot of heavy coats this week and last! Like you, I grew up in cold winter weather. To the folks down here, it seems like the Arctic Circle!

Wishi8ng you every\thing good.

Alan

Oh, those were 3 hours well spent, Alan. Magic fingers on that acoustic. Fun fiddle, too. Good band choices and you gave them something cool to groove on. Mando managed to add some more fruit to this well grown tree. Such a pleasenet mix, too. These are the best 4 minutes you can ask for from three hours.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Just as fantastic as ALL of your instrumentals!

Very enjoyable. Feel-Good Music.

Excellent Mix.

(that Acoustic lead RT is one that was "done right". It is Especially good for Pop songs)

You are a master of all BiaB productions.
Simply stated this is a showcase on the showcase for the power of BiaB in a talented production.
And, as mentioned, that acoustic guitar is standout.
And it resides in a great mix.

Enjoyed it!

Hi, Alan.

I'm late to the game on this.

Sounded like jazz... I was wondering where the "Americana" would come in. Then you brought in all the bluegrass soloists. smile

Smooth and easygoing. Very nice!

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