Rollin' And Tumblin' Rollin' and Tumblin' is a PD song ( http://jasobrecht.com/rollin-tumblin-story-song/) that has been recorded by hundreds of artists from Cream to Bob Dylan to zillions of blues bands. Some consider it to be the first 12 bar blues. We heard Imogen Heap sing it with Jeff Beck and got inspired to try a version. We decided on a bluegrass/celtic/blues arrangement :-) that required way more dicing and splicing of RT's than I had anticipated - particularly to get the banjo to fit. Janice liked it and I wasn't thrilled and shelved it for a few months. Recently I ran it by floyd and Tom who encouraged me to not ditch it and go with as is. Thanks guys! Floyd offered to sing harmony and here's the result. Yep, a genre mashup that won't work for everybody but at the very least it's BIAB fun! Vocal Lead: Rodes NT1 to Blue Icicle to Logic Pro X Vocal Harmony: Whatever Mr jane does Mastering: Ozone 5 Effects: Nectar 2 Banjo: RT 591, multiple generations and splices Mandolin: RT 1755 Guitar: RT 1164 Drums: Bodhran Bouzouki: RT 1812 ROLLIN' AND TUMBLIN' WELL, I ROLLED AND I TUMBLED, I CRIED THE WHOLE NIGHT LONG YES, I ROLLED AND I TUMBLED, I CRIED ALL NIGHT LONG WHEN I WOKE UP THIS MORNING, DIDN'T KNOW RIGHT FROM WRONG WELL IF THE RIVER WAS WHISKEY AND I WAS A DIVING DUCK WELL IF THE RIVER WAS WHISKEY AND I WAS A DIVING DUCK I'D DIVE TO THE BOTTOM AND NEVER EVER COME UP WELL, I ROLLED AND I TUMBLED, I CRIED THE WHOLE NIGHT LONG YES, I ROLLED AND I TUMBLED, I CRIED ALL NIGHT LONG WHEN I WOKE UP THIS MORNING, ALL I HAD WAS GONE WELL, I COULDA HAD RELIGION, HAD BETTER THINGS TO DO YES, I COULDA HAD RELIGION, HAD BETTER THINGS TO DO YEAH, WHISKEY AND WILD MEN, THEY HELPED ME MAKE IT THROUGH WELL, I ROLLED AND I TUMBLED, I CRIED THE WHOLE NIGHT LONG YES, I ROLLED AND I TUMBLED, I CRIED ALL NIGHT LONG WHEN I WOKE UP THIS MORNING, ALL I HAD WAS GONE YES, I WOKE UP THIS MORNING AND EVERYTHING I HAD WAS GONE © 2014 TRAD.

Very much a plus one from me. Excellent work getting the banjo to fit, sounded to me every note was in place. Vocals and harmonies spot on. The reward of your hard work for me was the excellent rhythm guitar.
Thanks for posting. I always look forward to your submissions.

Hi janice & Bud ...
Bud, can't believe you were ready to throw this one away! Good for Janice, Floyd & Tom for convincing you otherwise. This is a great listen!
Janice's voice is sweeter and sweeter with every Blues-oriented song you guys do. I've said it before but will be redundant and say it again ... Janice reminds me of Susan Tedeschi in some ways. But we'd rather listen to Janice and you guys ... your music is more heartfelt and compelling.
That banjo really set this one off. Great write, production and arrangement. Top shelf all the way! Holy smokes, this is terrific!
Best to you ...
Alan & Di

Hi J. B. and Floyd,
We had to listen to the musical arrangement a couple of times.
At first glance we thought one or more instruments weren't quite in sync, but listening back a few times, that wasn't the case.
May have had something to do with the mashing up the rt's?
Janice's vocals are top notch as always and Floyd did an extremely good job with the backing vocals.
Regards,
Rob and Anne-Marie

Works perfectly for me!! Glad you came back to it. Never heard it before but I dig the song. I like those "real blues" sentiments. Track was a lot of fun and all of you delivered it just right! Take care. Greg

after multiple listens, new things get noticed:
Floyd's voice has a very distinct signature sound in his own songs... but on this song it sounds to me as though he adapted to Janice's style. If I didn't know from the credits that Floyd was singing backup, I wouldn't have caught it.
I assume this was a conscious decision on your part, Floyd, since you don't tend to approach projects randomly.
Personally, I think it is a highly desirable trait in a song to have harmonizing vocalists mirroring one another.

Thank you very much Pat...we tried for years to get to Merlefest and it was always conflicting with our mountain bike race series....now that we don't race any more I hear that the fest has gotten so big you have to be shuttled to stages! Hey, glad to be on the right side (literally and figuratively) of that meter! J&B Very much a plus one from me. Excellent work getting the banjo to fit, sounded to me every note was in place. Vocals and harmonies spot on. The reward of your hard work for me was the excellent rhythm guitar.
Thanks for posting. I always look forward to your submissions.
Charlie Thanks Charlie. All I did to the guitar was add a little reverb and cut the low's a bit. Glad it all worked for you. Bud Hi, Janice & Bud & Floyd !
Can´t get much better than this !
Everything works perfectly and
the voices fit together as a hand
in a glove ! I am at awe at this
display of craftmanship !!!:))
Such a great listen !!!!
Cheers

Thank you Dani....they do sing together well don't they? Bud

B&J, I have been a fan of song of this song for a long time. This version stands up against any that have been recorded in the past. I heard a preview of this, but the addition of the floyd harmony adds a lot. I think this is your best mix/master to date. Each instrument stands on its own. Just the right amount of crispness and low end. Definitely a lesson in how acoustic instruments should be processed. Who knew a banjo could sound so funky. Outstanding work! Oh yeah you too Janice. Tom

Hi Janice & Bud,
I'm not a friend of bluegrass, but this banjo really rocks.
Janice's voice is top. Floyd did a great job syncing the harmonies. An enjoyable listen (actually several) all over.

Hey J&B,
Honestly I wasn't crazy about the banjo. But with arrangements everybody's got their own taste and opinion.
The duet is great. Loved it. Oh, and add great job on that mix too Bud!

Regards,
Rob and Anne-Marie Thanks and yep they did blend well for sure. I think that if you listen to the bodhran, the Celtic guitar and the Bouzouki RTs you will hear the tension you mentioned. I don't think the mandolin or banjo are the reason. Also the bodhran has a syncopated feel to it even when soloed. We always appreciate y'all's observations.

I have listened to this a hundred times (preparing to do the harmony).
Every one of them a pure joy...
Bud's artistry with the RT palette.
Janice's incredible vocal.
Joy.
Thanks for letting me be a part of this, guys!

Notation Enhancements in Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Windows!
There are Notation Enhancements in the NEW Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Windows! These include:
•A new button in the Print Options dialog which lets you quickly print a "chords only" fake sheet. You can also access this from the right-click menu on the chord sheet.
•A new track type (Drums) is now available for The Melody and Soloist tracks.
•Clicking close to a stave line will put a note on the stave line instead of between stave lines. (Previously, you had to click extremely close to a stave line to insert a note on The line.)
•Double-clicking on the Standard mode Notation window (or on the time line in Editable or Staff Roll mode) plays the song from the current time location. Previously, it played the song from the beginning of the current bar.
•Holding down the [Ctrl] key and pressing the zoom in/out buttons results in finest possible incremental adjustment in size.
•In The Notation Windows Options dialog, The clefs split point asterisk indicates that C5* is middle C.
•Pressing The space bar plays the song from the current time location, not the current bar.
•The clefs split point can be set by the spin controls.
•The right-click menu in the Editable or Staff Roll mode Notation window has an option to change the current beat resolution. Previously, the only way to do this was to right-click on the time line.
•There's a keystroke entry notation mode - the 'N' mode, which lets you enter a melody entirely using keystrokes. The keystrokes are N to enter a note, up/down cursor to change its pitch, and left/right cursor to move the time line.
•You can now edit any track in the Event List Editor. When The dialog opens, it will show you the MIDI data in the current Notation track.
•You can quickly enter forced accidentals from the right-click menu.
