Your vocal is very strong, the lyrics are great and the backing tracks bring it all together. I really enjoyed this! _________________________ I told my suitcases there will be no holiday this year.

The kind of tune that gets my foot tapping right away, and it is definitely an ear worm! A really good example of well-executed modern country. Nice work, and thanks for sharing! _________________________ Cheers, Deryk

I am a huge Beatles fan, and very influenced by their music, but I wrote this song as a country tune without any conscious thought of the Beatles. I blame it all on my roots .... lol _________________________ U4EA Music Productions Elliott Kayne elliottkayne@gmail.com http://www.KayneMusic.com My Posts: http://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=userposts&id=12285 SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/ekayne

As Joe says, this sounds fantastic! Vocals are mixed well and the drum fills are very punchy. The guitar riff that appears many times is really nice. It works very well as a spice and an accent for this song. Enjoyed my listen lot. Best regards. Shigeki Adachi

Registered: 04/07/13 Posts: 5930 Loc: South Carolina Charlie Fogle Veteran Registered: 04/07/13 Posts: 5930 Loc: South Carolina	Originally Posted By: Elliott Kayne Which artist should pitch this song to? If I were thinking of pitching this toward any popular country artist today I would elevate the production to a professional grade demo in order to be competitive with the other material that will pitched. There's a lot of competition and every artist and producer already have a long list of go to writers when they start a project. I went back and listened to your song with the idea to who would be a good match to pitch the song to make a professional, studio quality, full featured demo. I'd recommend Joe Gilder for two reasons. First, I think Joe is a good fit for this particular song and although Joe is technically a home studio recordist, he's first class and can produce top studio grade demos. He's based in Nashville and knows the market. Second, your demo will be charted and recorded with actual Nashville session musicians focused toward a production that's specific toward the modern country sound. (One of Joe's team members is actually a BIAB RealTrack artist ) Here's a link to one of Joe's originals to give you an idea of what to expect he can do for your song and also so you can judge the difference you'll be getting to increase your competitive opportunities when you pitch your song.

It has very catchy lyrics, a good melody and is a good mix, production and performance. I've enjoyed my listen and have gone back to listen several times so far.

Upgrading to Band-in-a-Box® 2020 is Easy!

Did you know... anyone who has owned a previous version of Band-in-a-Box® is entitle to upgrade pricing - you do not need to have your old version installed!

Maybe you used to own the Windows version, but you now have a Mac... that's not a problem either!
(or if you owned the Mac version, and now you have a Windows computer)

In both cases, you would purchase from the "Upgrade from 2018 or earlier or crossgrade" row here for a new Mac version, or here if you want the newest Windows version. Just need to upgrade your 2019 version? Use the "Upgrade from 2019/2020" row.

When you purchase your upgrade from either of these rows, you will receive a complete installation - just follow the steps of the setup, and your Band-in-a-Box® will be ready to use!

PG Music Inc. shopping cart accounts were not required to purchase from our website prior to October 29, 2014. With that in mind, you may have to create an account in order to upgrade - that's OK! You'll still be entitled to upgrade pricing.
