Lyric Video: Audio Only: Average MojoJanice and I have long wanted to do a “swamp blues” style song. Tony Joe White pretty much owns the genre and is still recording amazingly good stuff nearly 50 years after his first big song. His style is characterized by southern US swampy imagery, minimalist instrumentation, simple chord structures and lots of fuzzy guitar. John Fogerty and others have borrowed heavily from him. I attempted to write a song in this style and asked PeterF if he’d be willing to join in with his guitar. He agreed and offered up some cool guitar and harmonica tracks that were right in the genre pocket. The project was quite a vocal departure for Janice vocally and even more so after I went with more “grit” in processing her vocal. Perhaps an obscure genre but we did have a lot fun producing it. And, yes, there is a lot of distortion, tube sims, saturated tape sims, vintage compression sims and a hot mix. Goes with the style! Janice agreed to me using a photo of her in the intro/outro page of the video. That is a first! Oh BTW, a "gris gris" is a good luck amulet. Vocal: Janice - processed with Izotope’s Nectar 2 Drums: RD - Blues Rock Even - processed with Izotope’s Alloy 2 Bass: RT - 572 Bass Blues Even - processed with Izotope’s Alloy 2 Rhythm Guitar/Solo Guitar/Harmonica: Peter - processed with whatever he does I put a hint of overdrive amp sim on the harmonica. Mixed in Logic Pro X and mastered with Izotope’s Ozone 7 Advanced using a host of vintage modules Many thanks to Peter for both the instrumental work and help with the arrangement. And as always a shout-out to PG music for enabling all these experiments and collaborations via this forum. This has a minimal number of tracks but the arrangement was all initially worked out in BiaB (with additional RTs). We remain appreciative of the time that you take to listen and, as always, welcome any comments. J&B

Charlie I agree 1000%! You all should be very proud of this one. If I had heard this in a record store I would have bought the album right then and there! OOPS showing my age! I should have said CD.
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up. Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

P,B,&J, I have been a long time fan of TJW. Here you have captured the raw,raunchy loose feel and sound that is the hallmark of his style. I also am a fan of all three of you and here is the perfect example of why. Great work, Tom

Wow, authentic ( =sounds like you mean it!) & with a nice hint of menace in the vocal. The guitar is terrific and that ripple effect in the video sucks me right into the spell. Great collaboration.

WOW, that is some SERIOUS MOJO, Some MoFoin' MOJO!! (I think that will elude the PG policing system). Down and DIRTY. One of the "livest" productions I've heard on the forum. Peter killed it with his instrumental contribution (PG may be recruiting him), and Janice knocked it out of the park, over parks in adjacent cities, and may have gotten escape velocity to break the earth's gravitational field. SOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOD!! Take care. Greg

Y'all deserve all the WOWs you've gotten and more.
A strong blues-rock write in anyone's book. One of your best!
Peter's guitar work and harmonica are excellent throughout.
Janice - you are a STAR, girl.
Bud - you've outdone yourself on this one. Production, mix, video... awesome.
Many listens. All enjoyable. Top shelf stuff....

Super collab! Loved Peter's guitar and harp. Really made the song. Janice, your vocals are always top shelf. You did it again! Bud, the production on this one is really top shelf.
Really, really like this.

This production is unique:
-Great swampy sound in general. Although I've never been I can see Louisiana in front of me ;-) -Great vocals, as usual, from Janice -Peter did a unique and very professional job on both the guitars and harmonica (at first listen I thought these were all realtracks ;-)) Bud, very nice video that enhances the songs atmosphere.

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."
