Dewey,
Those BIAB bluegrass tracks are always solid.
Good mix.

I DON'T ROLL"
That is so clever, I would imagine it might slip by many...

Great stuff Dewey. Love the message and the writing, "I meant every word in that little white church from 'with this ring' to "I do" - great line. I thought the mix was really good and I really liked those harmonies as well.

Dewey, what a great song! Super lyrics, a cool message, a driving band and nice harmonies. Love the group portrait, too!

Hi Dewey !
That's it! Now that's real bluegrass. With a little more nasal vocals, it's perfect! Great melody, great harmonies. The banjo player's not bad either! I'll listen to it in the car. Even if I'm not in the Appalachians, it should do the trick! Thanks

Dewey, bluegrass at it best!
Great vocals and lyrics, you have a wonderful way with words.
Outstanding backing band.
Great mix
Loved it
OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?

Oh, great truckin' song, Dewey. Heck, it's good for 4-wheelers, too. This fits nicely on my country-roads-just-enjoying-the-scenery-rides playlist. Excellent display of fine musicians fueling the trip with smiles. Great mix and a very cool song.

Cool song. I was expecting a couple of hard stops but the runs in place of the stops were good too.
I'd call that more country than bluegrass but now days the lines are getting blurred. There's a local Raleigh station that has a 3 hr bluegrass show and I'm hearing a lot of old rock and country songs being "bluegrassed" on that show.
I enjoyed it.

Thank you for listening and the kind comments folks! I think we all agree that BIAB does a great job with the bluegrass styles and the real tracks are AMAZING IMHO.

Well done in write, vocals, track selection and mix. We especially liked these lines: I meant every word in that little white church From 'with this ring' to "I do" I chocked my wheels right then and there My roaming days were through Often folks who try BiaB bluegrass tracks use solo instruments as rhythm also. From us old bluegrass band members and parking lot pickers you have a good feel for the genre and we enjoyed it! J&B
