I wish that I could take credit for the vocals but my good friend Daniel Hensley is up to this point doing all my vocals. I will tell him what you said. Thanks for the kind comments.
Sonny

Couldn't stop myself tapping the table! A nice raucous work out with a great lyric. What a great voice you have - Roger Miller timbre!

John

Guenter I appreciate what you say and it means a lot to me. Thanks again.
Sonny

Hi Sonny,

groovy, uplifting, toe tapping.
Good vocals and nice choice of RTs.
I enjoyed my listen.

Guenter

Thanks for the kind words. It's strange that you would mention it, but I do have another song that I will post in the future that will reference one of Bill Haley's song. It's called "Remembering Rock-N-Roll".
Sonny

Good fun. Enjoyed it!
I miss Bill Haley. (could be a song there). Cheers.

Floyd thanks for listening and I always take heed of what you have to say. The positive of course is always the most encouraging.
Sonny

Sonny,

That sounds like a song from a Broadway Show - about Rock morphing to Country... I'd say you've got the genres covered!...

Nicely put together. Nice vocal, too - there was one point toward the end that it had a real Haggard sound...

Enjoyed it.

Thanks Greg for taking time to listen and giving me your feedback. This is my fourth post and so far I have been very encouraged by the comments.
Sonny

Good stuff!! I'm a fan of the good ol' time rock and roll myself. They don't write 'em like that anymore. This is a fun and pleasant tune. Cool arrangement and nice vocal, and as John said, made you want to tap your hand/foot. Well done! Take care. Greg

Rock-n-roll's changed in a drastic way
To say it bluntly
The beat is the same
But now they call it new country

You are right about me not being a newbie to music (in general) for I have been involved in music most of my life. Three rock and roll bands, solos and choir at church and most recently nine years with a southern gospel quartet. I do have a vocal studio in my home and BIAB was a perfect fit for me. I started with BIAB in 2011 and since then I have created over 100 songs to this date. I am new to the forum because I spent most of my time getting songs ready and now I am exposing them to everyone on the forum. I chose not to sing my own songs since I am 68 years old and to have a good friend like Daniel has been a God send to me. He is so versatile and is capable of doing everything that I ask of him. It also helps to have a five octave range in the process. I have several songs that I have written for a female but at this point I have not found the right fit yet. I hope this answers your question and thanks for the nice words. I will let Daniel know what you said about him.
Sonny

Hi Sonny,

The songs we've heard from you so far definitely show, that you are not a newbie in music making/recording, are we right?

This is a smooth sounding production, a good choice of RTs and well sung by Daniel.

Rob and Anne-Marie

Thanks Alyn. I am glad that you like the song and thanks for the comment on the rhyme. Lyrics are the hardest part for me because I want to make it simple but yet to the point. I learned that lesson from my daughter when our quartet commissioned her to write a song for us based on a true experience. Her first draft did captured the story but was very long. I ask if she would take another stab at it and make it shorter and what she came back with was just remarkable...we did not change a word. So I try to use my own advice when I write lyrics. Thanks again!
Sonny

Sonny,

Great vocals by Daniel


What a rhyme: bluntly and country, I like that

A good start to my day!
+1 to all the other comments also
I'm looking forward to hearing more of your songs

Alyn

Thanks Tom for giving me your assessment. As you all know, it takes a lot of work to get the desired result when creating a band. All the musicians are professional but it takes patience to find just the right ones for each particular song. For me, some songs come quickly but others may take days.
Sonny

Sonny, I love Daniel's vocal. I like the editing and the entry of the steel after the phrase " new country". Very enjoyable. Tom

I grew up with my dad playing the Blackwood Brothers and others and you are right about the piano playing. That is one of the things that I was disappointed with was the lack of southern gospel pianos in BIAB. I had just retired from a quartet that I had been with for nine years and I wanted to write a few southern gospel songs. Maybe BIAB will eventually add this request.
Thanks for letting me know what you liked about the song and I will be adding a lot more that I have created and recorded. Right now I do not have too much time to work on anything new and Daniel has gotten real busy with a new job and a new relationship that seems to be working out just fine for him. My wife and I are very happy for him for he has been searching for just the right woman for quite a while.
Sonny

Fine rocker that we much enjoyed.
The mix is well put together and
sounds excellent on my monitors.

You mentioned gospel quartets...
Little do folks nowadays know how
those guys could literally rock. Janice
and I both love the Blackwood
Brothers. Man, that piano
picker...wow.

Nice song you got here and like
Tom mentioned the mixing shows
the effort that went into it.

Thanks Charlie! I will let Daniel know what you said about him. I know I am bias but to me he is a very talented man with so much to offer and I would like to see him go way beyond what he does for me. He is a country song writer and has written several songs but trying to break into the commercial field is so political and extremely hard to get anywhere even if you are super talented.
Sonny

Great write, mix, arrangement and performance. Daniel's vocals are stellar.

Charlie

I sure would love to have been the writer of the Love Boat song...$$$. I just came along too late but it is what it is. All humor aside I do appreciate that you enjoyed the song. Thanks Rob!
Sonny

For some strange reason this song reminded me of the Love Boat.
Great guitar work and vocals really enjoyable.
Rob

Thanks Sergio for your kind comment. I do appreciate you listening.
I would love to visit your country someday but unfortunately my time is running out fast. I am sure it is beautiful.

Kenny thanks for dropping in and taking time to listen. I appreciate your feedback.

Hi Charlie, I do have seven albums that are different genres that I have completed or I am working on at this time. Four of these albums are vocal albums which are Pop, Country, Christian and Lite Rock that Daniel does either all are some of the vocals. The other three are Bluegrass, Easy Listening and Smooth Jazz all of which I have completed. So Daniel has branched out with me and that is why I think he is so versatile. But unfortunately (for me), he has gotten into other things (a relationship and job) that will be occupying his time for quite some time now but I am very happy for him (he is a real good person). The woman that he is in a relationship with has a young son who has physical problems and has been in and out of the hospital. Daniel is spending most of his free time with her and the boy.
Sonny

Thanks for giving me your feedback and I do appreciate the kind words. I do not believe that I have had the pleasure of listening to one of your songs. I see that you have posted a new song so as soon as I leave here I will take it for a drive. Thanks again!
Sonny
