Hi y'all,

Our new contribution:

NIGHT DRIVING

This is a co-write with Paddy Gobel who did the writing on the verses.
Rob wanted a BeeGees like backing vocal on this, not quite realizing I'm an alto.
He was kind of wondering if I could manage this......
I think I proved them wrong
Co starring: the Electric, Funk James Finger RT.

Turn up the volume on this one, we could have cranked a little bit more volume on the general mix.

Lyrics:

Just put the grinding week behind me
I’m driving down this moon lit street
Left all the cares and... things that blind me
My heart is full and life is sweet
time to work my dancing ....feet oh yeah

Night driving, straight jiving
start movin' to the beat
soul's rising firmly now,
cause it's nothing that I never did before
it's nothing that we've never done be.....fore, allright

She's the rhythm to my body
When I’m cold she is my heat
And When we're dancin'.....movin' slowly
She's my heartbeat, she’s my aim
There's no one like her, she is my.... flame oh yeah

Night driving, straight jiving
start movin' to beat
soul's rising firmly now,
cause it's nothing that I never did before
it's nothing that we've never done before, allright

All rising, music jiving
keep moving to the beat
souls rising firmly now
cause it's nothing that we've never done before
nothing that we've never done before.

Hi R & A-M.

Super funky track. Love that bass line.

Chorus certainly had a BeeGees feel to it.

The guitar solo took me by surprise - I was rather expecting a synth solo, or maybe a sax, but the guitar certainly worked.

Cool video.

ROG.

Rob and Anne-Marie, another great tune. You guys sure know how to deliver. The style works so well, and I agree about the Bee-Gee's influence. Thoroughly enjoyed this one.

Very catchy - great vocals and the Bee Gee sound comes through.
Really liked the guitar break reminiscent of Stevie Ray Vaughan when he played for Bowie (Let's Dance).
Nice video as usual. Superb production.

How could I not like a song with the word "jiving" in the chorus?

Nice and funky!

Great disco feel and slinky vocal delivery. Great video again.
Fantastic. (The standard is getting very high here).
Cheers.

very nice song
I like over all the beginning of it.

Great real tracks used.

Sergio

Rob & Ann-Marie & Paddy,

A very cool sound to this. I was not aware there was an RD called CDiscoLadies... nice combination of instruments - nicely mixed.

The vocals are great!

Your videos are incredibly "pro looking"....

floyd

Hey Rob, Ann-Marie and Paddy!
Great beat! You guys did a great job on putting this song together. I enjoyed everything about it. It caught my attention at the very beginning and held me there throughout the song. I am a BeeGees fan and I am sure that if this song were heard by all their fans they would like it also. But that being said, it is your song and you should proud to have created it.
Sonny

Hi Rob and Ann-Marie,

great funky song. You can feel the Bee Gees influence.
Professional video.
Enjoyable listen.

Guenter

Rob and Ann-Marie,
Great sound. It really takes me back. Excellent driving rhythm.

SD

Rob pretty much nailed this review. Nice work!! Excellent production. Very much enjoyed!! Take care. Greg

RnAM, good groove goin on here. Nice mix of real tracks. It all works very well together. I hear those Bee Gees in there. Sounding good, Tom

ooooooh yea - You got enough of the Bee Gee's vibe to know it's there but this still has all of the signature RnAM we've come to expect. Good production of the audio and video. Enjoyed my listen.

This is so cool! I love how you guys are always trying different things. You really caught the jive flavor with RnAm style.

Thanks ROG!
It was quite an effort for me to get that BeeGees sound!
Glad you liked the video too.
Anne-Marie



Thanks Trevor!



Thanks Peter!
The solo took quite some editing!
Anne-Marie

Thank you David!



Thank you Rich. About the standard; We do our best



Thank you Sergio!



Thank you Floyd!
About the DiscoLadies Real Drums:
This was a 3rd party purchase, but sadly their website appears to be no longer on line.
The website was called realdrumsforbiab.com

You succeeded with the BeeGees feel.
Well done guys.

Hi, Rob and Anne-Marie !!!

I am completely stunned by your
skills as composers, lyricists
and entertainers !

Should you ever come over here
I would love to be there at your
gig, be sure of that !!!!

I love this kind of beat .....

Cheers
Dani

Rob, Anne-Marie and Paddy,

excellent, everything about that is sensational.
I love the groove of that bass RT.

As usual all is so well done

Alyn

Thank you so much Sonny, we also like that BeeGees sound.



Thanks Guenter!



Thanks SD!

Thanks Greg.



Thanks Tom, I'm glad my backing vocals approached the BeeGees sound. Anne-Marie



Thanks Charlie!



Thanks Josie! It is a challenge for us indeed to try different styles.

We're gonna venture a little off the Bee Gees' path and
say that it sounds like David Bowie singing disco...and
that is meant in a cool way. Heck, as much experimenting
as he does he may have sung disco

Janice particularly wanted to note that the backing vocals
sound fine. And Bud wants to say that y'all's audio and
video productions are pro level -- every time. The vids
are always seamless, flowy and support the song's
imagery incredibly well.

Kudos!

J&B

Thanks for noticing Josie, we definitely like to experiment with all kinds of styles (see how far we can push BiaB).



Thanks Rob!



We'd love to come over some time, but we're afraid that flying there would be quite expensive? (from Holland)



David Bowie....? Well, we dont mind at all!

HI Rob & Anne-Marie,

Loved the disco beast, particularly the bass line. The vocals, including the background harmony, were great. You always have the best videos to compliment your music. Would write more, but not feeling well after getting home from hospital. Just know I think it was a great son and I totally enjoyed it!

Alan

Thank you Al!
We hope you'll recover soon!

Rob and Anne-Marie

Excellent song. Loved the chorus. Vocal and harmonies first class

This is so cool! Man, the song and production are both awesome! I would say more, but most if it's been said!

It's funny when you realize you can get something THAT cool using BIAB. That bass!...I know a lot of players that will never play that well. We have it as an option!

And I immediately got glimpses of the Bee Gee's!
