love bluegrass music.
I no longer have the Charlie Daniels Band LP I bought a many many years ago, but one tune on that album made an impression on me.
Unfortunately I don't remember the title of the song, but I've tried to recreate it from memory.
I think the tempo was more fast.

Hi, Zazah. Although I'm confused if you wrote this wonderful piece or not, it is so well done with BiaB. What a terrific band, and I can picture them all on the stage. The mando and banjo really shine and the fiddle adds the perfect touch. Much enjoyed.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Zazah, this is bluegrass at its best
Super use of RTs
Great mix

Hi Zazah!
I’m not a bluegrass enthusiast by any stretch, but I love this. I think that’s because of the interesting underlying chord progression. The rhythmic feel of the instruments and the variation of soloists was a treat.
Nice tune!

Zazah..great track! Bluegrass is one of the things that I think BIAB excels at, and, in the hands of a skillful craftsman, it really shines--I esp liked the stops that you used for emphasis. Thanks for posting--totally enjoyed it!

Hi Zazah.

As others have said, BiaB is great for bluegrass tracks, and this is an excellent example.

Nicely done!

... although it seems the ending was cut off by a few seconds.

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

Zazah, cool tune and nicely arranged to add interest. Don't know the CDB tune you were thinking of, but think you've crafted your own little slice of bluegrass heaven. Nicely done!

Hi Zazah,

Lovely Bluegrass dancing music - there are some great Bluegrass real tracks in BIAB.

Where are the vocals?

Best Regards
