Copying over from the contest page....
Listens appreciated & comments welcome.

Into the Badlands...with a little acid added to the rockabilly.
The surf guitar (@ half time) & harp are additions to the style.
A big struggle with the vocals here as I used Nectar2 for the first time & found my laptop quickly overloaded by the cpu requirement.

Style is _BADLAND.STY (Badland Baritone Rockabilly)

Nomad of the Heart

wouldn`t you like to ride
said the clown with toad eyes
ride around the mirrorball of heaven?
he took me by surprise
changing horses at the time
at the last 7-11

back then she was all the rage
a psychic doctor named Sage
chose me to ascend with the Master
it might have been the sun
but in her eyes I saw a gun
with one bullet in the chamber

oh father, is it time?
to go to that big empty in the desert and the bars
where wolves circle in a forest of stars
time to be a nomad
a nomad of the heart

I met a girl named Hourglass
it seemed strange but I let it pass
and for me she danced the whirlwind
I thought I`d found the promised land
when I saw her counting grains of sand
as around her room we`d spin

out below this big blue curve
there`s some truths you gotta swerve
the vultures are wearing suits and collars
but I don`t think the flood will wait
`til make all that`s crooked straight
and I gave that clown my last dollar

oh father, is it time?
to go to that big empty in the desert and the bars
where wolves circle in a forest of stars
time to be a nomad
a nomad of the heart

"the vultures are wearing suits and collars"

There are some really interesting images in this, Robert.

Cool title.

A good listen. The harmonica competes with the vocal in a few spots - you might pull it down in those spots...

Thanks for your comments, Floyd.

Bob,
Glad you liked it - not my usual style on the vocals, but I enjoyed trying to sound a little Dylanesque!

Really nice. Has a real Johnny Cash feel to it (if you had a deeper voice) smile

Like everyone has said, a lot of imagery here.

Enjoyed it.

Kenny,

Glad you liked it.
A few less guns than those movies, but I enjoyed writing some weirdness into the lyrics.

Thanks J&B,
I appreciate you saying the production sounds ok. The process feels like quicksand to me, but if I ever get out and have some time I`d like to try my hand at that video idea.

Music for the spaghetti western movie 'Harry Potter goes Back to the Future'.

I really liked this as I am big fan of SYFY and Fantasy books and movies. Great lyrics here as well as super backing tracks and mix.

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."
