Man, I'm hearing stars. Those guitars are sensational. The perfect vocal performance. Catchy groove with a good story lyric. Excellent mix. An excellent driving song.

Tom, outlaw country music, love it, and thanx for the flashback to Willie and Waylon.
Great vocal.
You have mastered a number of instruments.
Great mix.
Loved it. Mario, thanks much. I am definitely a master of none, but I keep trying. Glad you liked it. Tom,
Every song you post sounds like it should be on the radio... Excellent story, vocals and production. You are writing some really terrific stuff.
Loved it!
Bob Bob, thanks for the fine review!

Really good backing track, sounds so authentic to that southern rock groove. Great lyric story telling. Elliott, thanks for stopping by and sharing the nice comments. Good song and well played. The guitars sounds great. Soren, glad you liked it.

Another great one Tom. I've gotten used to those catchy signature guitar licks of yours - they always draw me in quickly. I hadn't expected that acoustic guitar in the intro. and it was super nice. Not a lot there, but it sure added a lot to the sound. I'm ecstatic that you're using more steel in your recordings and absolutely loved the effects you put on it. A lot of surprises in this one and it tells a great story - outstanding!
Brad Hey Brad, thanks for all that. The steel solo was using an auto wah like Robert Randolph and the other sacred steel players. It’s effective but only once in a while. Tom, just a great song, expertly executed. That opening guitar riff drives a deep hook into the listener and the song never lets go. Great vocals, guitar and steel work throughout. The mix is perfect, too. Not much more to say except...I loved it! Thanks Ron. Glad it worked for you.

Tommy.
Your usual high standards in this one.
Sheds full of dynamics.
Going back to when I was a young teenager I left a band that later became famous.
The rhythm guitarist played on for a couple of years and then did a similar thing as your friend and ended up being the band's roadie.
Maybe the stress got to him.
Vic Vic, thanks for stopping by. It can be a stressful business if you’re not having fun. Tom
Loved the song. Superb sounding. Excellent guitar and steel, really big sound.
Top notch as usual.
Peter Peter, thank you for the generous comments. Tom
Man you really brought it on this one! Love the back story......if that isn't song writing material nothing is!
This one bears all the great marks of a song of yours! Killer guitars and vocals! Love that driving distorted riff carrying the song along! The pedal steel was really a wise choice...very effective!
Tom, you are a top-level talent and always share great material with us!
Take care, TB Torrey, those are all really nice things to say. I appreciate your comments.

Hi, Tom. Catchy guitar draws me in, driving sound keeps it going. Everything about this says it's top notch - the arrangement, vocals, lead guitar... Big and loud. Nice write and backstory, too.  Thanks David. I appreciate the kind words. Good song.
Yep.... I don't doubt that in some bands the crew is better paid than the musicians. I won't mention the band but it was a high technical level bunch of cats.... They were paid $100 a week per musician with sold out shows and radio play. If I recall creedence was another band that was starving on the road with number one songs on the radio.
BTW.... Love that tone. Herb, thanks. Yeah being a road dog is a tough way to go. Really great song and production! 'Nuff said. Glad you liked it!

These lines tell many stories, don’t they?! “Still chasing after long lost dreams or running from the rain It’s easy to say it but much harder to explain” Janice said that we need a book of short stories from your songs! This is a great “true life” song and your vocals, guitar and pedal steel are awesome. Your performances, the choice of band members and the mix are outstanding. We like how how the intros and outros of your songs always demand attention. Of course the stuff in the middle is great also Love it! J&B PS Bud was reminded of his mid sixties time as a southeastern band's roadie ... before he became a management partner which was more stressful for sure.

Love a good story song. I always learn something new when I listen to your songs. Song structure, production, and of course performance are always top notch. Talented doesn't even cover it. Great song.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
