This is my latest original tune done with BIAB for all backing tracks. It is a blues tune done with a little country flavor sprinkled in. I did all the editing and mastering in Reaper. Comments welcomed.

Hello George,
Thanks for the thumbs up. I loved the countryblue genre. Great idea. As I was writing this song, I kept hearing a steel and fiddle in my head. So I added them and it all came together. Who knows what may develop from this?

Marty,

I liked it very much. Great job of succesfully incorporating the non-traditional instruments into this style.

I'm calling it BlueCountry.

Good vocal too.

Hi Greg,
That's what I love about creating music....it is a blank canvas. Only BIAB makes it easy to experiment. Thanks for listening.

Great blues man! I really like the vocals, outstanding job, and the lyrics.

The backing tracks fit perfectly.

Outstanding work!


My wife had her driving test today.
She got 8 out of 10.

Blue Country. Love the new genre. Willie Boy.
Love the harmonica solo into the guitar blues.

Well done. The ending fades into mystery.

Hi CJ,
Thank you for listening. I thought the steel and harp worked well. That is what is so great about BIAB. You can experiment.
