Home At Last Hey All, it has been a long time since I have posted a song on here. This song was written by a friend of mine, Buddy Durrett. I never recorded it until now, He passed away from covid a few years back. The song is called "Home at last". I mainly use real band and then edit the instruments in my DAW, Samplitude ProX8. The backing vocals were record by Dirk van der Merwe (Airgigs) He always does a great job on backing vocals! The instruments used were: RT3549 Bass, Electric, AmericanaShuffleSteveAB Sw.WAV RealDrums-NashvilleRadioShuffle^2-Stck,Hat.WAV RT3174 Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm CampfireSwing Sw 120.WAV RT3702 Guitar, Electric, Rhythm AmericanaShuffleBrent Sw 120.WAV RT1283 Guitar, Electric, Soloist CountryShuffleBrent Sw 120.WAV RT617 Pedal Steel BG RT674 Organ, B3, Background Blues Roadhouse Ev 120.WAV I pray that I did his song justice  any comments are much appreciated on what to change and what to keep. Here is the link for a quick listen: Home At Last LYRICS: Verse One: Oh I've Been Walking Through Life Day By Day Always Keeping To That Straight And Narrow Way I Have Been Watching And Waiting Hallelujah For That Day When I'll Be Going Home At Last, Home At Last Verse Two: Yes I Know When That Final Trumpet Sounds All The Saints Are Raising Joyous From The Ground In Faithful Answer To That Blast, Standing Firm And Holding Fast We Will Join Them Home At Last, Home At Last Chorus: Home At Last, Glory, Glory, I'll Be Going Home At Last I'll Be Leaving All My Troubles In The Bygone Past I've Been Waiting Patiently, To See The One Who Set Me Free When I'm Home At Last, I'm Home At Last Verse Three: One Day, He'll Take Me There Dear Lord. And I Will Step Across From Jordans Stormy Shore. Lead By The Ones That Have Gone On, They've Been Waiting There So Long For Me To Join Them, Home At Last, Home At Last Chorus: Home At Last, Glory, Glory, I'll Be Going Home At Last I'll Be Leaving All My Troubles In The Bygone Past. I've Been Waiting Patiently, To See The One Who Set Me Free When I'm Home At Last, I'm Home At Last Home At Last, Glory, Glory, I'll Be Going Home At Last I'll Be Leaving All My Troubles In The Bygone Past. I've Been Waiting Patiently, To See The One Who Set Me Free When I'm Home At Last, I'm Home At Last I've Been Waiting Patiently, To See The One Who Set Me Free When I'm Home At Last, I'm Home At Last When I'm Home At Last, I'm Home At Last When My Stay Here Is Over , Home At Last

Hello Riddle,
Welcome to the forum!
First, sorry to hear your friend passed.
This is a great classic country song. Two singers from the past immediately came to mind: as I listened: Merle Haggard and Lefty Frizell.
Nice vocals. Your harmony singer is very good. I grew up playing lead guitar in the 60s. I played a lot of music similar to this.
I enjoyed my listen very much! Looking forward to more from you. Wishing you the best.
Alan

Quality all the way around! What I like best is the so very joyful chorus…it sounds just like what the lyric says. Great inspiration for the only journey that really counts. Great tribute to your friend!

Hi,
I don't know much about "Country" music but I do know quality when I hear it and this is definitely a quality production - good song, well sung and good chorus.
Best Regards

Oh, Buddy is resting comfortable with a huge smile onhis face. I got chillls when the chorus hit my ears. A terrific mix and, man, those background vocals are outstanding. This gem gets brighter as it grows and I love following the light. All the best in there, Danny, and all the best to you, sir.

Disclaimer: You're new here, so you may not know that I'm THE anti-expert when it comes to country music. That being said, this is a beautiful song, and for us Europeans, it's what country should be: pedal steel, 2 guitars and 2 great singers singing the most beautiful harmonies. I like it ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif)

So sorry for your loss. Beautiful song and touching tribute. Super arrangement and mix, and both your lead vocals and Dirk's harmonies are perfection. Love the mix and how clearly the vocals stand out even though there's a lot going on. Super job!

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.
