Hey y'all...I cut my teeth on Southern Gospel music...this is another old tune from an old hard drive...I redressed it with BiaB and the Genos...it's got the old-time southern gospel feel and a train theme so it's right in my wheelhouse! I live in a mid-western town whose life blood depends on the railroads...we have a major rail-yard here and two major lines cross (the BN and the Santa Fe)...this tune was inspired by the road and The Road...so you know the drill...if you do...thanks for listening...Dan (toe tapping and/or clapping along are prohibited...so watch your step up!)

Step Up!

That is nicely done. Great harmony.

Dan

This is probably the best sounding vocal work that I've heard here in the forum! The harmony work is off the charts good!
Any Southern Gospel group out there would love to have this in their repertoire! If you shopped this around it would readily be played in heavy rotation on just about any good SG radio station!
Beautiful work here Dan You've set the bar pretty high for the next one for sure!

Thanks, TB

Wonderful song, killer vocals (again) and nice mix! Love the arrangement with the late modulation and the twists at the end, too. Can't imagine anyone is doing this better, with or without BiaB. Another great one!

Dan,

Another great song and superb vocal... Love the mix on this. That baritone guitar sounds awesome.

So well done!

Excellent driving sound and amazing vocals, Dan.
In some ways it reminded me of “The Long Black Train”.
Great stuff.

Sounds just like a group from back in the days called The Mid South Boys. A man after my own heart, I write Southern and Country gospel music, but not of that caliber. Man what a song!!

Not only is your vocal outstanding, as usual, but those harmonies are the best I have ever heard from hardware or software.
As usual an outstanding song and mix.
You are the best my friend.

Great vocals and harmonies.

Hi, Dan.

What everyone else has said - fantastic vocals. Excellent write, polished redressing.

But ... did the modulation go a "step up"? wink

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

Yes it did go a "step up" ...normally I only modulate a half-step at a time...I can't get anything by you!

Cutting one's teeth always seemed an odd way to say it since it's the gums that get the cuts. Anway, however you got your chops was definitely worth the cutting quality of what you produce, Dan. The train that will lead us to the other side. Tickets aren't free but money is worthless. Always so good hearing you, Dan.


Enjoy whatever happens!

We love old time Southern Gospel so this was a treat.

Your combination of BiaB and Genos (whatever that might be smile ) are very smooth and the vocal harmonies are lovely.

It’s a very good arrangement and mix also.

Enjoyed it,

J&B

Excellent throwback gospel done really well!
Well written
Vocal was perfect - key change was an effective touch.
Infectious toe tapping groove, progression was interesting.
I like the pause at 'step up' but it does reveal the limitation that biab has for doing those.
I enjoyed it as much as possible! Absolutely well done!
Mark
