Hello, Tom
Very fun song with super vocal!
The fusion of traditional country and rock'n'roll is really wonderful.
I do love both Bourbon and Scotch.
Which whiskey is the Devils Whiskey?
Jim Beam Devil's Cut, Jenny (Johnnie) Walker, Queen Jennie or else?
Very interested.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi Shigeki, Glad you liked it. Devils Whiskey was a nickname for illegal bootleg moonshine whiskey. Now there are some distillers making legal moonshine. It is clear, made from fermented corn and sugar and has quite a kick. Here's my bourbon recommendation-Elijah Craig. Thanks, Tom

Tom,
Thank you very much for detailed explanation about Devils Whiskey.
Now I understand well.
Your bourbon recommendation-Elijah Craig is imported and available in Japan now.
So, I would like to buy it and drink it immediately.
Thank you again.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

Good song. Nice sound on that guitar. I like the crunchyness in the tone.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but you can't do both.

Hey Tom, you once schooled me on Appalachian Honky Tonk and, man, did you nail it here.
This would appeal to modern country folks, traditional country folks, progressive bluegrass folks and Americana folks.
I just checked in and the accolades have already hit on your vocals/guitar, the write and the superb production...so DITTO!!!
We ain't gonna parse it out any further -- rather go back for another listen.
Album quality stuff you got going Mr. Adams!
J&B
We are deep down in the Keys with a bad case of keys disease and cell coverage is a little spotty. I'm having trouble listening to the posts but will give a a thorough run through when we get off island time. Thanks for the fine review and yes this one qualifies for Appalachian Honky Tonk. Tom

Tom, I am constantly amazed at the very high quality of work you present to this forum! In my opinion your work is at the very top level of what is posted here! In this track you did an excellent job of syncopation between the vocal and guitar, which really sets this song off. Everything is absolutely great! Thanks, Torrey.

Hi Tom.
That is one big, BIG, sound you've got going on there.
Sounds like a cross between ZZ Top and Dolly Parton.
Loved every minute of it.
ROG. We completely agree with ROG! Rob and Anne-Marie

Tom,
You've done it again! This is fantastic!
As others have already noted, everything about this sits perfectly with everything else. The clarity of the mix is exceptionally good and your performance is up there with the best in the forum. floyd mentioned "star quality" and I want to add +1 to that!
Your choice of instruments is excellent and the groove you put together really engages the listener! Loved it!
All the best,
Noel Hi Noel, Thanks so much for these great comments. I truly appreciate your insights. Tom Tom
Agree with all the other comments a killer song - fantastic production all round.
Some brilliant guitar playing and arranging.
Loved it (having another listen).
Peter Glad you liked it. Thanks Peter, Tom Man, this totally reminded me of Jerry Reed. And since Jerry Reed is just about my favorite feller besides Chet Atkins that is a super high compliment. Great genre song!!! Now, if you can just do me a triple time version of Jerry's Breakdown we can be real good friends.  David, I never thought of Jerry. He was one of my favorites and I agree with you that it is in that vein. Thanks for stopping by. Tom

User Tip: How to add drum fills without changing any other tracks
MarioD has shared some great advice when it comes to adding drum fills without changing any other tracks in your song:
There have been a number of questions asking how to add drum fills without changing any other tracks in a song. This is especially important if one is holding a chord for a few measures and wants to add a drum fill prior to the next chord. The following is how to accomplish that:
1-get the instruments/tracks to play like you want but don't worry about the drums for now.
2-generate the song.
3-freeze all tracks
4-unfreeze the drum track
5-add your fills where you want them
6-generated the song again - note this will only generate the drum track and not the frozen tracks
7- when you get the drums like you want them freeze the track

Review - Band-in-a-Box® 2023 for Windows is Overflowing with Features!
Dennis posted his very thorough Band-in-a-Box® review recently, where he dives into some of the new features added with version 2023: Sound-Guy's Band-in-a-Box Review
Read his thoughts on the Download & Install Manager, partial track regeneration, Playable RealTracks, Audio Editing, the addition of SynthMaster, the VST DAW Plugin, and more!
"Band-in-a-Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is, without negative connotation, a monster of a program. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. No DAW can do some of the things BIAB does, while BIAB can do a lot that DAWs do."
