This is very cool - love the late 60s / early 70s feel. Great vocal and mix - love the guitar solo.
Excellent!

Nice Rocker. Really good mix on this one. I couldn't talk for a week if I tried to do vocals like you do. It would be cool and almost a supernatural experience to hear such a hard voice over a stadium PA.
Enjoyed my listen.

Rock Steady indeed! Very cool vocal as usual. Nice, tasteful guitar solo, was you using the strat with the humbuckers?

Hello, Kenny
A nice late 60's Rock.
Rock Steady indeed!
Your guitar solo is very tasteful.
And your shout reminds me of John Lennon a little bit.
Love the Piano 2157 Vintage.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

"I just love to hear you talk With the mids wide open You can walk that walk I just love to hear you sing With the humbucker working’ Gonna make it scream" That's just too cool! As floyd said "Grit to the max!" We couldn't imagine a better vocal track for this...perfect for the vibe! Reminds me of reading where Johnny Winter said when he was young he practiced singing into the pillow at night...I suppose to appease his mother  As always all is top notch with the production including the pickin' but the vocal...yeah man, the vocal!

Good job Kenny! I tend to agree with Shigeki about Lennon on this one. It kind of has a Lennon type feel to the vocal phrasing. Thanks, Torrey.

Charlie Thank you Charlie appreciate your kind words, I can't seem to sing any different from this these days unless i really sing softly, and that's only for ballads I just try to belt it out from the heart, keep between the ditches and hopefully stay on pitch enough.

Rock Steady indeed! Very cool vocal as usual. Nice, tasteful guitar solo, was you using the strat with the humbuckers? Dave, thanks I kinda wish I had that guitar, just found the pic that showed a humbucker or what appears to be. I used to play on one that had a bucker in the back and regular strat pickups in front of it. I recorded with a strat copy something Eddie V had a hand in designing, very nice neck on it. Appreciate your kind words Kenny, Nice bluesy delivery of the vocal and the doubling sounds great. Nice and tasty guitar work. Great chorus and the production and mix are well done. Good one. Rock Steady! Tom Thank you Tom Appreciate it!

Hey, Rock on Kenny!
Started listening on the 'phones, but just had to play that loud on the the big monitors.
A classic piece of rock with a solo that could make your ears bleed.
How DO you get that vocal sound? Awesome!
Loved the whole thing.

Hi Kenny,
We're liking this a lot!
Interesting how you double the vocal and pan it slightly left. Your raspy voice fits this perfectly. Di and I were thinking a hint of Bob Seger. Being a lead guitarist myself (Al), I can appreciate your appreciation for the guitar. Cool tune, arrangement and licks. Great stuff!

Alan & Di Thanks Alan and Di When I started writing this one I didn't know where it was going, then it hit me, it should be a love song to my guitar, duh! Threw in "come unwound" "mids" "humbucker" and that was that.

It sounds too rough to me to do justice to either of those, maybe more kin to early ZZ Top. Anyway, maybe I unconsciously stole some phrasing from bj, I haven't figured it out yet. Thanks for the listen and comments

Fantastic!!! This is a hit!! This would have sold millions of copies in the era when pop music was great. Wonderful feel. So catchy. Love your arrangement and vocal-kind of a departure from your style. Really clever lyrics. Reminds me of Squeeze Box by the Who in that way. AWESOME Kenny!!! Take care. Greg

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."
Convenient Ways to Listen to Band-in-a-Box® Songs Created by Program Users!
The User Showcase Forum is an excellent place to share your Band-in-a-Box® songs and listen to songs other program users are creating!
There are other places you can listen to these songs too! Visit our User Showcase page to sort by genre, artist (forum name), song title, and date - each listing will direct you to the forum post for that song.
If you'd rather listen to these songs in one place, head to our Band-in-a-Box® Radio, where you'll have the option to select the genre playlist for your listening pleasure. This page has SoundCloud built in, so it won't redirect you. We've also added the link to the Artists SoundCloud page here, and a link to their forum post.
We hope you find some inspiration from this amazing collection of User Showcase Songs!
