Happy new year, Janice & Bud

Very nice old blues. What a fun tune.
I entirely agree with Kenny.
Great song with strong distinctive vocal gives this a special quality.
Jumpin' song, so good, the mix is excellent.
I neither haven't heard the original or your first version but this one is hot!
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best wishes for this year.

I had a listen to this a couple of days ago but didn't have time to comment. Never heard it the first time around so can't comment on the remix.

What a fun track! I love the way Janice phrases, I might have mentioned that before a time or two smile Good stuff!

J&B, This does have the jump feel to it. Expertly sung, expertly mixed and a fine lyric video just about sums it up. Bud, your mixes have made a lot of progress in a short amount of time. Great work as usual. Tom

We likely use the term "as good as it gets" too often.

But... this is...

As good as it gets.
As good as it gets.
As good as it gets.
As good as it gets.
As good as it gets.
As good as it gets.
As good as it gets.
As good as it gets.
As good as it gets.

Fun listen, and (as usual) a great vocal in a clear mix.

Plus, it's nice getting a bit of history behind the song. grin

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

It's exciting to imagine Band-in-a-Box playing a central role in the perpetuation and practice of music from "bygone" eras. It would make many of us BIAB users musicologists as well as musicians.

And thanks for introducing me to Mr. Oscar "Buddy" Woods, whom I had never heard of until I visited your post. Just when I think I've heard it all, I realize I haven't, and most likely never will, which is good, because it'll keep me listening...

Ms. Janice, you have a downright welcoming "come right on in!" kind of voice that would cause even the shyest wallflower to think twice before turning down an invitation to dance from the gal he was makin' eyes at from across the floor.

Thanks for making such happy-sounding music. "Happy (musical) New Year" to both of you!

"bluage"


Thanks for listening and taking time to write such a thoughtful response! There is a real treasure trove of material in the public domain. Since I'm such a slow writer we have been mining the PD for years. smile

And Janice is most appreciative of the comments you made about her vocal.

Thanks again!

Janice - Another astounding vocal...

The video is way cool, too.

Yes, baby, YES!

Love this version Janice and Bud.

Janice would probably sound good singing with a tin can and a string though.

Don't think it was the mic.

Reminds me of the pre rock and roll records I used to listen to.
Enjoyed Oscar too. Cheers.


Thanks! We love Western Swing from the earliest days to Bob Wills to Asleep At The Wheel. Glad you liked the vocal.

Is this a keeper? Yes baby yes!

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
