Hi Folks.
Being a fan of Billy Strings and Molly Tuttle I got motivated to make my first attempt at Bluegrass.
Biab did all the heavy lifting and I just came along for the ride , but it was a fun ride!
I welcome any constructive criticism or suggestions how I could improve.
Thanks in advance for listening and here is

Come away with me




Tempo 140 Key F 4/4

All Real Tracks

427 Bass
431 Guitar - strumming
426 Banjo - rhythm
428 Fiddle - rhythm
434 Fiddle - Soloist
435 Guitar - Soloist
P.S. These guys are great .... They show up on time and don't get drunk !

Really liked your choice and use of the BIAB components to get a sound that really moves and has energy. I enjoyed the entire track!

One element of feedback...the lead-in vocal wasn't as clear as it could be--I'd review that and perhaps take some of the effect off of it.

Gary,

Those BIAB Bluegrass Realtracks are always a good choice. Good choices.
The vocal could come up just slightly.

I think Floyd nailed it! Like the harmonies!! Song is very well done!! Nice job Gary! Take care. Greg

Thank you for your kind comments.

I agree , it is a mess. I was using FX to hide the fact that I can't sing LOL.

BTW Looking at your picture , we could be twins

Thank you Floyd.
It is an honour to get a response from the Master !!!!

Thank you for your encouraging words Greg.
Coming from YOU means a LOT to me.

PS If I had a voice like yours I would turn the Vox way up !

Hi Gary,

It's nice to hear something different once in a while. From what I've heard, there aren't too many songs here in the Bluegrass style. You've created a good one.
Thanks for posting it.

I agree. An excellent song but the vocals need to be a tad louder.

Super excellent use of those Bluegrass RTs!

Thank you Bawb.
I hope you didn't think that I was a pompous [*****] with my comments on your posts but rest assured that I consider you a huge talent and I love your music.

Thank you for your kind words Mario.
I have no confidence in my vocal ability hence I tend to bury them in the mix.
BTW I love your modus operandi of edgy music creation which is inspirational. Also I can relate to your amusing marriage observation ,very funny

Sounds great Gary! Very fine Bluegrass!! Enjoyed it all the way! Thanks, T

Thank you Torrey.
It is an honour having someone of your stature listen and comment!

Great bluegrass! I thoroughly enjoyed listening. Definitely a fun ride!

Thank you Todd.

Nice to hear some bluegrass (we played in traditional bluegrass bands for many, many years until drifting into Americana).

You made good use of the rhythm and solo versions of each instrument.

BTW, It’s fun with those bluegrass RT's is to mix them like a live BG band would sound working a couple of mics.

So welcome aboard and keep 'em coming!

Hi Gary
Good work putting this together, much enjoyed.
Nice to hear a bit of Aussie bluegrass. Reminded me a bit of the Rank Strangers, one of my favourite Australian bluegrass bands, active late 1980s/early 1990s. Worth checking out if you've not heard them (if you search 'Uluru by Gary Forrester and the Rank Strangers you'll come up with one of their best).
Regards,
Leon

Thank you Leon.

I was not aware of them but I will investigate.

Yeah , we've gotta make a bit of noise from Downunder

Thank you Janice and Bud.
As per my other reply to you guys , I am absolutely thrilled that you took the trouble to listen and comment.
And another thankyou for your "welcome" message.

Good song, sung well enough to raise the volume some. Nice work all the way around.
