Several years ago I made this observation which led me to write this song...let me know if you agree.

The Beat is the Same

Down in the south I was born and bred
On rock-n-roll
I knew all the songs and the words
It was my heart and soul

The songs that we heard were just simple then
But paved the way
I would not change a thing at all
For what they're playing today

Rock-n-roll's changed in a drastic way
To say it bluntly
The beat is the same
But now they call it new country

Though I'm confused what the hay
I know life does go on
It's never the same what a shame
I miss my rock-n-roll

Style - clasrok_sty classic rock & roll

Couldn't stop myself tapping the table! A nice raucous work out with a great lyric. What a great voice you have - Roger Miller timbre!

Sonny,

That sounds like a song from a Broadway Show - about Rock morphing to Country... I'd say you've got the genres covered!...

Nicely put together. Nice vocal, too - there was one point toward the end that it had a real Haggard sound...

Enjoyed it.

Good stuff!! I'm a fan of the good ol' time rock and roll myself. They don't write 'em like that anymore. This is a fun and pleasant tune. Cool arrangement and nice vocal, and as John said, made you want to tap your hand/foot. Well done! Take care. Greg

Hi Sonny,

The songs we've heard from you so far definitely show, that you are not a newbie in music making/recording, are we right? grin

This is a smooth sounding production, a good choice of RTs and well sung by Daniel.

A good start to my day!

I started with BIAB in 2011 and since then I have created over 100 songs to this date. I am new to the forum because I spent most of my time getting songs ready and now I am exposing them to everyone on the forum. I chose not to sing my own songs since I am 68 years old and to have a good friend like Daniel has been a God send to me. He is so versatile and is capable of doing everything that I ask of him. It also helps to have a five octave range in the process. I have several songs that I have written for a female but at this point I have not found the right fit yet. I hope this answers your question and thanks for the nice words. I will let Daniel know what you said about him.

I ask if she would take another stab at it and make it shorter and what she came back with was just remarkable...we did not change a word. So I try to use my own advice when I write lyrics. Thanks again!

Fine rocker that we much enjoyed.
The mix is well put together and
sounds excellent on my monitors.

You mentioned gospel quartets...
Little do folks nowadays know how
those guys could literally rock. Janice
and I both love the Blackwood
Brothers. Man, that piano
picker...wow.

Nice song you got here and like
Tom mentioned the mixing shows
the effort that went into it.

Thanks for letting me know what you liked about the song and I will be adding a lot more that I have created and recorded. Right now I do not have too much time to work on anything new and Daniel has gotten real busy with a new job and a new relationship that seems to be working out just fine for him. My wife and I are very happy for him for he has been searching for just the right woman for quite a while.

I think you are being more astute than biased regarding Daniel's vocals. He can fit into more genres than just country and you guys shouldn't be shy about experimenting in some other genres.

Also, as you listen to other User Showcase submissions, keep your ear peeled for songs that may resonate with you as a song that you think would be a good fit and you guys offer to collaborate to do the vocals. Feel free to do this with any of my future or past posts ;=)

There are others here who likely would not mind Daniel taking a shot at one of their songs as well.

There are quite a few great collaborations going on here on the forum. Currently, Bud, Janice, Floyd and Tom are topping the charts with "Mystic Chords" and Sundance and Dean have "Walk on By".

The other three are Bluegrass, Easy Listening and Smooth Jazz all of which I have completed. So Daniel has branched out with me and that is why I think he is so versatile. But unfortunately (for me), he has gotten into other things (a relationship and job) that will be occupying his time for quite some time now but I am very happy for him (he is a real good person). The woman that he is in a relationship with has a young son who has physical problems and has been in and out of the hospital. Daniel is spending most of his free time with her and the boy.
