It's all BIAB. Details to come - it's late (for me now). The Outlaw's Daughter (L Olivier 1-13-2012) You got your poor chasing after money and money chasing after more but my Mia ain't chasing nothing you can hold I kept Mia in my Study and a grave outside my door reckon it won't wait for me to grow old Her side arm's at the ready with everything I taught' er she can whoop the best at billiards, cards, or dice She can walk in cool and easy cause she's an outlaw's daughter when she's on her game my Mia's cold as ice Put your braids in your hat Mia and ride your burro into town if they look cross at you twice girl tell 'um shut up and lay your money down Can you smell that caballero He's faceless in a crowd on his pistol vengeance are engraved He a steady bounty hunter Ill tell you that right now gets closer with each mistake I make Put your braids in your hat Mia and ride your burro into town if they look cross at you twice girl tell 'um shut up and lay your money down Well they say that Hell is angry in turmoil you shall wail Eternal fire to make you scream and shout but what if Hell be silent no hammer for your nail that'd torture me for crying out loud! Put your braids in your hat Mia and ride your burro into town if they look cross at you twice girl tell 'um shut up and lay your money down Don't you worry none now there's nothing more to do that dirty cowboy followed you home you must go on doing the things that I taught you I've always sent you to town alone Put your braids in your hat Mia and ride your burro into town if they look cross at you twice girl tell 'um shut up and lay your money down tell 'um shut up I'm the outlaw now

Very cool song Lawrence!! I imagine your daughter is thrilled with it. Really like this folky, story song format. You did a great job telling the story. Arrangement supported it perfectly, and harmonies were really cool. Glad to see you back!! Take care. Greg

Welcome back Mr Gruve. We've been missing your Americana productions. We're gonna call them that because we listen to Americana just about all the time and you fit right in with the best.
As Janice just said "I like everything about that song!"
Wonderful imagery and, as always, the vocals are top notch. The arrangement builds and fades in a way that is so supportive of the story.
No need to parse it all out. It's simply a great song that we much enjoyed and quickly added to the SC playlist. Look forward to more listens!
J&B

A good write, Lawrence (no surprise there!)
Good arrangement, production and mix (no surprise there!)
Excellent vocal (no surprise there!)
The nylon lead was cool - what was that? (surprise!)
Good to see ya back around. Don't be a stranger!
Mia's cool!

Lawrence, I'm always glad to see your name pop up. You never disappoint with your writing, arrangements and vocals. I love the build and the the way the tempo slows at the end. This is a great song! I'll bet your daughter thinks so too. Don't stay away so long. Tom

I really like this one Lawrence. Good tune, lyrics and excellent delivery. Going back for another listen. I like it.... Charlie Thank you Charlie Hi Lawrence,
excellent song. Especially like your vocals and harmony.
Guenter Thanks Guenter. I am slowly changing my approach to arranging and beginning to reintroduce elements like harmonies. Things I had been stripping out of my recording for a more minimal sound. I'm over that period now I think. Very cool song Lawrence!! I imagine your daughter is thrilled with it. Really like this folky, story song format. You did a great job telling the story. Arrangement supported it perfectly, and harmonies were really cool. Glad to see you back!! Take care. Greg Thank you Greg. Yes my daughter was pleased. It's good to record again. Sometimes life gets in the way. Welcome back Mr Gruve. We've been missing your Americana productions. We're gonna call them that because we listen to Americana just about all the time and you fit right in with the best.

No need to parse it all out. It's simply a great song that we much enjoyed and quickly added to the SC playlist. Look forward to more listens!
J&B Thank you both. I just replaced the song with a re-mix. I moved some instruments around and lowered the vocal. Speaking of Americana, I have been re-listening to "Car Wheels On A Gravel Road" what a super album it is from start to finish!!! One of my very, all-time favorites. A good write, Lawrence (no surprise there!)
Good arrangement, production and mix (no surprise there!)
Excellent vocal (no surprise there!)
The nylon lead was cool - what was that? (surprise!)
Good to see ya back around. Don't be a stranger!
Mia's cool!
floyd Thank you Floyd. The nylon is the 2201. I was auditioning it as background material and it stole the lead spotlight! Great job one this one. Quite enjoyable.
Thanks for the music, Dan Thank you Dan. Very nice, Lawrence. Well written story, well performed. Excellent arrangement. Agree with all the accolades!

I found out how to change tempo and this song was perfect for playing around with it. Welcome back Lawrence!
Very nice song! Did you play the guitar by yourself or is it all real tracks?
Rob & Anne-Marie Thank you! It's nice to record and post again. The guitar is Nylon 2201 and after I heard it, it begged to take the lead.

This is really really a great song!
I liked the vocals and the lyrics, great job on those, and the backing tracks. I also really liked those tempo changes, they fit perfectly!
This is a keeper!

When convenient check out her latest "Down Where The Spirit Meets The Bone." It's a double album/CD/project and there's not a piece of filler on it. Strong stuff. The remix sounds great and we also liked the first version right off the bat so it's hard to compare them w/o an A/B. It's one of those songs that we get so interested in the totality of it that it's hard to pause and starting listening to the parts. The sum of those parts really works for us. J&B

I checked out a few of Lucinda's "making of" videos on Youtube, she is da bomb! I'll wind up buying the album I just know it. Good to hear you again Lawrence.
Great song. What a creative arrangement too.
One of your best.
Thank you very much. I'm glad to have some time to post again.

This is wonderful! Very imaginative and creative. Original and oh so enjoyable.
I can see this song featured in a documentary about Indie music, or in a movie or a cable mini-series.
I don't know if you're submitting music to publishers etc., but if you are, send them this one.

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."
