Wow, this is so good! And is it so incredibly well mixed. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I have this supernatural ethereal feeling that you worked with another producer on the forum, some type of musical guru, or super genius, who stood by you like a Guardian angel of sonic clarity, and carefully guided you under the light of heaven's bright beams, until the song and mix was pristine, and became an example of absolute and sublime perfection, and wholly acceptable in the presence of the divine. Don't know why I have that strange feeling--but I just do. Anyway, this is phenomenal y'all. Great song and stellar mix. Nice and warm!! Guitar is just right!!!!!!

Nature should not allow me and sublime perfection to be referenced in the same post. I don’t know how that got through. Regardless of the astronomical improbability of that we thank you! J&B

Yeah! Very different.
Janice is awesome as usual, love the way she phrases "snake oil"!
Those background vocals are very cool too.
And a big tip of the hat to Peter, I love what he brought to this.
Nice one guys, enjoyed the listen!

Janice / Bud / Peter,
This is just GREAT! Love the cool vibe of this tune and the production w/track mix is killer.
Another tremendous vocal workout by Janice, with some extremely cool backup singing.
So well done...
Bob

Well, team, you never fail to surprise, you never fail to deliver.
This is no exception. That doesn't mean for a moment that it's not exceptional, actually it really is.
The answer-back lyrics give another dimension to a truly great sound.
Cool, smooth, funky, great.

Was this the song you were referring to the other day? This song came out so good! The vocals are so on point and really bring the song to life. You guys all did a really good job on this one, and thank you for bringing us a genre we don't see too often in the showcase!
Cheers,
Ember

Janice, Bud & Peter,
Wow! This is a blast- I agree with all the positive comments above.
I might have missed any reggae you`ve done before but everything about this tells me you must have been around this style before.
Above all the production & performance highs its also a really good write- not sure I get all the lyric references ( well, ok I know what "night soil" is), but who cares, Mr Fox is an interesting character.
Well done- way to have some fun with your songwriting!
Robert

Hi there Peter and J&B.
Absolutely COOL.
A super smooth reggae turned soulful by Janice's wonderful voice. Hey Janice, and
what about those fabulous "Rock-Chick" backing vocals? Inspired.
Peter - some very lovely guitar work in there. So effective, so in tune with the feel of
the track. SO professional in it's execution.
Bud - Excellent mix. Clear, but still powerful.
Oh, and great cajon playing too!
Loved the whole thing.
ROG.

Wow this is so creative. Very cool song. Super vocal and love the harmonies jumping in behind the vocal. Peters guitar was so unique and original. So good. Boy I agree with David on the mix. It is so good. I can't put my finger on it either. Each of the instuments and vocals so well defined and so well blended and balanced. Awesome job , Bud, Janice and Peter..

Janice/Bud/Peter...
Who let that fox out? Get the dogs!
Y'all never miss. Ditto to all that has been said already.
Ever instrument sits perfectly. Gorgeous mix.
Peter's guitar - a perfect compliment.
Janice and the Girls have outdone themselves. Again.
Many listens.
Amen!

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!
