This is a song that's been written in one form or another since the dawn of songwriting. Why? Because it's a universal feeling: "Sorry you got burned but please just give me a chance to show you something better". The Last Worthless Evening is a classic in this vein. This song delivers that universal feeling in a really fresh, clever (but not overly clever), heartfelt way. The song is sincere but not sappy, crafted but not formulaic, and expertly written and delivered. It occurred to me a long time ago that the intersection of two sets (commercially strong songs, and truly great songs) is a very small domain where few can thread the needle. Don Henley is one. FJ is another. I don't even bother commenting on the mix anymore unless I hear something that needs fixing, and with Floyd I never do! Another wonderful song Floyd!! Take care. Greg

That "catch phrase" is a very important part of being able to formulate a "commercial Country" song - it practically defines the genre... it is often what is lacking in those who are shooting for that mark and missing so often... thanks for noticing... _________________________ 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

This is another great one, one of your best we think. The transition to the chorus and the chorus itself lifts this song to a new level. Again, Janice's backing vocals are as professional as they come. Rob & Anne-Marie _________________________ We are Rob Meulman and Anne-Marie Bovenkamp from The Netherlands.

I'm struggling to find words as this song, as I have said before about your works, is the sort of country I really, really like. Janice's voice matches yours so well SO I opened the back door, turned it up LOUD to let the neighbours have a listen as well!! It's gone 7.30 am here so I have given them a wonderful way to wake up on this miserable, wet morning!!!! GREAT SONG Alyn _________________________ My showcase songs My story

Registered: 04/03/09 Posts: 7258 Guitarhacker Veteran Registered: 04/03/09 Posts: 7258	Another good write. This would have easily been a cut in the Nashville town in the heady days of the late 80's when country was really stating to move into the pop/rock genre. Your style keeps reminding me of those bands and artists. Vocals are excellent. Nice harmony work. That vibraphone was a tasty decision and placed well in the song. Little things like that really set a song apart from the rest of the pack. I would likely have used a bit more reverb on the lead fills. They sounded just a bit too dry and stiff to my ears. That could also be the real track as well.... I try not to use RT's for leads. No real nits to pick on this tune. It all sounds good to me. Keep on writing and recording.... you have a formula that works. _________________________ You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.com Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.

Terrific song. Isn't Janice just wonderful? Not to take anything away from your super lead vocal of course, I just love Janice. Absolutely nothing to criticize here. Clever lyrics, great backing, a mix which hangs together LOUD and altogether a very professional package. ROG. _________________________ Free online guitar lessons. Cours de guitare gratuit en ligne.

Upgrading to Band-in-a-Box® 2020 is Easy!

Did you know... anyone who has owned a previous version of Band-in-a-Box® is entitle to upgrade pricing - you do not need to have your old version installed!

Maybe you used to own the Windows version, but you now have a Mac... that's not a problem either!
(or if you owned the Mac version, and now you have a Windows computer)

In both cases, you would purchase from the "Upgrade from 2018 or earlier or crossgrade" row here for a new Mac version, or here if you want the newest Windows version. Just need to upgrade your 2019 version? Use the "Upgrade from 2019/2020" row.

When you purchase your upgrade from either of these rows, you will receive a complete installation - just follow the steps of the setup, and your Band-in-a-Box® will be ready to use!

PG Music Inc. shopping cart accounts were not required to purchase from our website prior to October 29, 2014. With that in mind, you may have to create an account in order to upgrade - that's OK! You'll still be entitled to upgrade pricing.
