Hello Friends,

Here's a little blues rock ditty that David Snyder and I co-wrote. David was on the road so I mixed it. First time I've used Neutron Elements.

It was great working with David. He is so talented and easy to work with. It's been such a long time since I've done a collab or posted anything new on here. Thank you David! Virtual hugs.

Comments welcome. Hope you enjoy.

I Don't Wanna Think About You

Written with BIAB/RB. Mixed with Reaper.
RTs : GTR 2624, Bass 1546, Drums Blues Rock Shuffle, Organ 2692, E Piano 1904.
Guitar David Snyder. Vocals/harmonies Josie Beck.
Well done all round on this to you both! Terrific vocal, Josie ( love the way you took the backing down for the verse midway) and the harmonies on the chorus sound great.
Catchy and very enjoyable- a cool welcome back shuffle.

Robert
Thank you very much Robert. I appreciate that very much. Gotta give David the credit for taking the backing down - his idea.
So happy you enjoyed it.
ah, so David was on the road, again?
Just kidding... This is very nicely done Josie. Beautiful vocals, beautiful harmony vocals too.
Cool write too!

Wonderful work on this by both of you. Excellent engaging vocals and a top notch arrangement.
A superb collaboration.

I completely misread this title as, "I don't want to think about you David Snyder". Glad to see that it was just a collab and not a stab! laugh Had a good laugh at myself, but my grin only got wider when I heard the song. Absolutely fantastic you guys!

Josie & David,

Nice job on this. The laid-back feel is easy to get lost in. A cool BAND.

Josie, great to see you getting back to your music. Good job on the mix. The vocal is engaging. The arrangement keeps your ear involve throughout. Cool background vocals.

Enjoyed.

Hi Josie & David,

Great song! And the delivery is perfect. The vocal is super and the band is great - good choice of instruments. Love the variations on the background tracks.

And yes, David is a great guy. Haver spoken with him on the phone a time or two and he's nothing but a class act all the way. I feel as though I'm bragging when I saw that!

Your vocal is stand out ... strong and edgy yet with tempered edge.

Totally loved it. Three thumbs up (I guess I didn't mention that physical weirdness!)

Loved this collaboration Josie and David. Super vocal. Loved the bass run in the backrun. Gave the song a very cool feel. Excellent mix. Excellent backtrack and lyric

Well to Ember's point it was originally titled "I Don't Want to Think About You David Snyder" but I begged Josie to change that.

Kidding!!!!!!! smile

Seriously though, Josie was so delightful to work with on this--I just scribbled out some lyrics and tossed a few guitar licks over the fence and the next thing I knew she was done and I was listening to it in the car in the Redwoods National Park and it sounded great.

She did like the whole thing, and I think her selection of groove, instruments, feeling, vocals, mix, everything was just perfect and totally pro. It sounds so much like the artist that she is. The woman has her groove on big time here in my opinion. Radio ready as they say.

I think Josie is starting to get a little dangerous with her new plug-ins people.

Watch out.

Thank you Joanne. I feel blessed to be here and to have worked with David.
We are always down with a blues shuffle!

This is a fine re-entry to the forum.

It has a fun laid back and slinky vibe.

Nice vocal performances and we suspect you put some time into the production and it all paid off!

Congrats...hope for another soon.

Josie, you did a fantastic job singing this as well as producing and excellent mix. Everything is perfect!

You both should be very proud of this one.

This is a keeper.

Ps - Josie, it is great hearing you sing again, welcome back. Plus you can back with a killer performance!

Alan, I couldn't agree more about David. So that explains the secret to your picking prowess...LOL...just kidding. I hope Di is feeling better. Thank you very much.

It feels good to be making music again.
Josie and David,



This is a GREAT listen! You've both done a spectacular job. Kudos! Josie, it's so good seeing you back in the forum smile You've really nailed these vocals!!! You sound in absolutely top form smile

The band that you've used is fantastic. I've never stumbled across any sound like this in BIAB. From the start, it grabbed me and kept on driving me all the way through the song. I really enjoyed the journey.

From start to end, this gleams with song-writing and song-presenting competence.

All the best to you both,
Noel
WOW!!! GREAT!!! Welcome back Sundance!!! Great feel. Love the sultry vocal! Great mix! This is COOOOOOOOL all the way around!! Don't be a stranger. Take care. Greg

We appreciate that Greg! Thank you so much!
Wow, you guys nailed this on so many level! I wouldn't change a thing - in particular, your vocal on this is absolutely flawless. Of course, the song as a whole is great but your vocal on this tune really knocks it out of the park. Great arrangement, great vocals, and the perfect level of catchiness.

Amazing work guys - keep it up, and thanks so much for sharing smile
