The Right Track (VIDEO) The Right Track (AUDIO ONLY) As Steve Earle once said "sometimes your hometown brings you down..." I wrote the lyric; floyd tweaked it, turned a third verse into a bridge, created the melody and Janice did her vocal thing. Thanks big time to floyd for helping with the mix, BGV's and the use of held chords. We appreciate your time to watch/listen and as always comments are most welcome! Janice: lead vocal floyd: background vocals Bass: RT 1036 Northern Rock Drums N’ville ev 8th Guitar Solo: RT 1167 Rock Ballad Brent (the intro was comped from two of many re-generations as was the solo). Guitar Electric Rhythm: RT 841 Rhythm Pop Ballad Slow Gritty Guitar electric Rhythm: RT 1169 Soloist Rock Medium Brent /used to create held held chords via the held option Guitar Acoustic Rhythm: RT 1037 Rhythm Northern Rock Ballad Piano Rhythm: RT 1725 Rhythm / also used to create the held chord piano track Mixed in Logic Pro X using Ozone (mastering) Alloy 2 and Nectar. The Right Track © 2016 Bud Merritt and floyd jane too long in this town, too long in shadow roads lead out, where do they go? this might be someone's idea of good old days not mine i'm parting ways Chorus i'm leaving some might think on a wing and a prayer but there's got to be peace between here and somewhere sun on my face, wind at my back i'm finally... on the right track day by day, time gets shorter while my bucket list just runs over some things age well like a fine old wine but a spirit chained will die in time (so...) Chorus Bridge friends say slow down don't go but what the hell could they know i got boots older than most of them and I ain't leaving on a whim Chorus J&B

Hi Janice & Bud, Wonderful song I always enjoying listening to your songs! - The guitar solo bridge has a nice tone. - Is the footage self made too? Thank you very much Joe for the kind remarks. Yes, we created the video using iMovie. I enjoy photo editing and use a variety of apps to try and get the images to have a similar look and to support the imagery of the song. All of the images we use are public domain or shots that we took ourselves. Thanks again! J&B PS We always credit PG Music in our videos. Hope it might grab you a customer or two!

I "discovered" this a while ago - it now has the feel of one of those songs you know & look forward to when it plays.
It has a great melody, and is beautifully performed. Love everything about it.

Bud Janice and Floyd,
You have really excelled yourselves on this one! I liked everything about it.
Great production and sound and catchy melody.
Janice your voice is like velvet and when Floyd joins in for the harmonies it's just stunning.
I also loved Floyd's vocal sound on the "don't go" bit near the end.
Superb,

Good work guys, solid standing arrangement, cool lyrics and a beautiful vocal of Janice. We especially liked the choruses, Floyd does a great job here with a subtle mixed harmony, which has some very interesting notes in it.
Bud, these lyric videos seem to come more and more easy to you, nice one!

Nice job to all.
Good job on the songwriting.
The production was pretty good too. I like the comped solo/fills. Mostly they are tasty and fit nicely.
Excellent.

Hello, Janice & Bud and floyd
Great Rock song with Janice's beautiful voice.
Well produced video.
Superb Mix.
And very nice collaboration.
This song is so good.
I much prefer your rock songs.
Because, to tell the truth, I am weak in real blues songs a little bit though I like blues feelings.
Very enjoyable listen.
Best Regards.

B,J&f, this is a great write. Beautifully sung and the production is pro all the way. Nice comping on the guitar parts and floyd's finishing touches on the harmonies adds a lot. I also really liked the effect on the vocal. Your usual high standard applies to all areas and it's good to see you exploring further out into other genres. It showcases your versatility. My boots are pretty old also! Tom

The songs you turn out are always so top notch. This is very professional in every aspect. The BGV's are outstanding and add a lot to the overall feeling of the song. Janice's vocals and your mixing skills are stellar.
And... by the way ... I like this one ... a lot. A whole lot.

Hi, Bud, Janice and Floyd !
I don´t know if I´ve ever
heard a better collab in
my life, and if so, just can´t
remember ! This was astoundingly
awesome, that smooth Janice lead
and great backing vocal by Floyd
just can´t be beaten and the
tune itself is nothing short
of a masterpiece !!! WOW !!!!
Cheers
Dani

Such an enjoyable number. Superb vocals, amazing guitar work and a very remarkable melody.
Anyway, not surprising, because this is coming from some of the best talent on the forum.
Great job (again).

A super song very beautiful
Sergio
Thanks Sergio. It's always good to hear from you! J&B The songs you turn out are always so top notch. This is very professional in every aspect. The BGV's are outstanding and add a lot to the overall feeling of the song. Janice's vocals and your mixing skills are stellar.
And... by the way ... I like this one ... a lot. A whole lot.
Charlie Thank you Charlie for such positive remarks. All three of us very much appreciate your time to listen and your thoughts on the tune. And thanks for mentioning the vocals and the mix! J&B

As far as song writing goes and I am just catching up after being away .
You guys are awesome.
Really you have a beautiful professional voice Janice and you have bud
for male vocals.
And Floyd for expertise and more.
Take care Thank you! Floyd added the expertise AND the male vocals. You would not want to hear me sing Janice appreciates you mentioning her vocal. Bud Hi, Bud, Janice and Floyd !
I don´t know if I´ve ever
heard a better collab in
my life, and if so, just can´t
remember ! This was astoundingly
awesome, that smooth Janice lead
and great backing vocal by Floyd
just can´t be beaten and the
tune itself is nothing short
of a masterpiece !!! WOW !!!!
Cheers
Dani Wow! Thanks Dani for the wonderful review! We appreciate your support. J&B Team, another Gem arrives.
Such an enjoyable number. Superb vocals, amazing guitar work and a very remarkable melody.
Anyway, not surprising, because this is coming from some of the best talent on the forum.
Great job (again). Thanks! With vocal tracks from Janice and floyd it's hard for me to go wrong at the mixing board Bud

Janice, Bud and floyd,
This is such a great listen on all fronts. The lyric video is also very well done. In addition, the lyrics flow and develop the situation so well that everything about the story is 100% believable.
I've listened a few times since the song was first posted and each time, I find myself thinking "I really like how this is done" when the song moves into the chorus. When Janice sings "I'm leaving, some might think on a wing and prayer", there's a feeling of resolution and a sense of 'this is the right thing to do' that is created by the combination of performance, lyric, melody and arrangement. I don't know how you've all done this but the effect is outstanding. Janice, your vocal delivery is perfect for the main character's circumstances. As I listened to you unfold the situation, I found it impossible not to become personally involved in the story.
There is a great deal of talent on display in every aspect of this song. However I measure it, it's first class work.
Regards,
Noel

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."
