Superb vocal - it swings. Very nice evocative video & the audio version is beautifully recorded.
Brilliant.


Appreciate that Peter. Yep, YouTube really smashed the audio. If they allowed replacement files I'd load it again. Thanks for listening/watching and commenting.

Very few can strip everything away leaving such a sparse mix and as one listens there is no doubt that what you're hearing is pure talent.

Bud and Janice can.

Janice's vocals and Bud's arranging, mixing and producing both spot on.

Enjoyed this from start to finish.

Thank you Bob and we appreciate you mentioning the phrasing. Janice loves that style!

The video is perfect for the song (can almost see those people moving), but the audio only link is worth everyone's attention - so you can listen - truly listen...

Love that piano bass line... we don't ever hear that... nice...

Stunning, y'all.

The two of us much appreciate your comments floyd. Whatever skill I might have with the live sound I came by it honestly having played in bands for many years -- standing in the back both playing upright bass and running the sound board.

Thanks for mentioning the video and the piano line. We love that style and had wanted to use that piano since BiaB first introduced it. And, of course, Janice appreciated what you said about her vocal. Without her signature sound what I do wouldn't amount to much...not even the proverbial hill of beans smile

This jumps! so fine! Great vocal, Janice as always. very enjoyable. I don't think I've heard (or read) the name Marcia Ball since I left Texas almost 20 years ago, good memories.

Thanks guys,

Kenny

Also superb editing on the solos. A superior version of a song that has been covered a jillion times. Quite an accomplishment. Tom


Thank you Tom. Janice appreciates the shout out and I'm delighted you liked the mix. I put a little "Ozone Juice" on the piano to try and emphasize the spread. Thanks for mentioning that and the solo editing.

We were a bit hesitant to tackle an old war horse like this but hoped the boogie woogie piano and the lyric tweaking would bring some new life to it.

Thanks again!

Hey Charlie, thanks for saying that! The more I stripped out the more worried I became about the outcome. It's good to know you feel that way. Thanks for your support.

Janice and Bud,

This is a great version of a great song, one of my early favourites! I wanted my classical piano teacher to teach me to play like that but she said that that was not real music. We soon fell out much to my parent's anger.

What a lovely singing voice you have, Janice.

Janice and Bud,

As a youngster, then aging listened to that song many times,
played by my Mom and Dad. A lifetime ago.
Never knew the words, but loved their music.
Mom was an excellent vocalist, but never heard THEM words.
We both enjoyed it thank you.

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."
