RD - Nashville even 8
Bass RT1288 Tex Mex 2 beat
Guitar RT1850 Shining gritty muted
Guitar RT597 Bluegrass Doc
Fiddle RT429 Bluegrass Chops
Fiddle RT596 Bluegrass Doc
Banjo RT591 Bluegrass Doc


I love olde tyme coun-try
Played by a steel string band
Foot tappin, hand clappin, feel like dancin, let it happen
We may never pass this way a-gain

Drummer bounces up and down, sticks in the air
Bangin out a big bad beat dancin in a chair
Bass booming in the hall shaking the foundation
Set the groove, make a move, deafen God's cre-ation

I love olde tyme coun-try
Played by a steel string band
Foot tappin, hand clappin, feel like dancin, let it happen
We may never pass this way a-gain

Rhythm guitar comping chords, lookin for a backbeat
Lost his pick, feelin sick, half dead on his feet
Lead is singin soarin high in glorious con-fusion
Melo-dy got lost you see has to find a new one

I love olde tyme coun-try
Played by a steel string band
Foot tappin, hand clappin, feel like dancin, let it happen
We may never pass this way a-gain

If you see an ancient band, music getting out of hand
Remember they're just warming up, big gig's coming soon enough
High... in the sky.........

I love olde tyme coun-try
Played by a steel string band
Foot tappin, hand clappin, feel like dancin, let it happen
We may never pass this way a-gain I love olde tyme coun------try

Hi Richmac

Your production continues to improve with each post! My favourite section of this arrangement was when you brought the fiddle in. The whole presentation jumped over the proverbial bar when that happened. It made me wonder if maybe the fiddle could have come in a little earlier and maybe the mandolin could add to the mix where the fiddle now comes in.

All the best,
Noel

cool tune. It was a fun listen.


I don't know that I personally would have chosen a gritty muted guitar on this.... probably a cleaner picked sound.... likely acoustic not electric.

I agree the fiddle really kicks it up a notch. It should have had that feel all the way through..... maybe even an old upright acoustic bass rather than electric....and drums, IMHO, you could really do without them on this. That would have given it more of a "front porch" picking and grinning feel..... but that's just my 2 cents.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Hi Noel - I keep experimenting. I look at my posts as demos and when there's enough (and I learn to produce better) will redo them to a CD. Probably. Will then incorporate these good ideas and suggestions you all give me.
Listened to your co-write song. Enjoyed. Extremely high standard.

Cheers Richard

Thanks Herb
Yeah if it's old time I'm aiming at I should stick to more trad instrumentation.
What happened was I couldn't resist doing it as a rock boogie 'Georgia Satellites' type thing ( enjoy mixing up the real track styles ) and though I liked it realized it was not appropriate for the theme. So changed it back but left a bit much of the rock in there.
Like the idea of no drums, trad bass. Thanks for your ideas.

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."
