Your vocal is very strong, the lyrics are great and the backing tracks bring it all together. I really enjoyed this! _________________________ Politicians, like diapers, occasionally need to be changed.

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

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.

Notation Enhancements in Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Windows!

There are Notation Enhancements in the NEW Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Windows! These include:
•A new button in the Print Options dialog which lets you quickly print a "chords only" fake sheet. You can also access this from the right-click menu on the chord sheet.
•A new track type (Drums) is now available for The Melody and Soloist tracks.
•Clicking close to a stave line will put a note on the stave line instead of between stave lines. (Previously, you had to click extremely close to a stave line to insert a note on The line.)
•Double-clicking on the Standard mode Notation window (or on the time line in Editable or Staff Roll mode) plays the song from the current time location. Previously, it played the song from the beginning of the current bar.
•Holding down the [Ctrl] key and pressing the zoom in/out buttons results in finest possible incremental adjustment in size.
•In The Notation Windows Options dialog, The clefs split point asterisk indicates that C5* is middle C.
•Pressing The space bar plays the song from the current time location, not the current bar.
•The clefs split point can be set by the spin controls.
•The right-click menu in the Editable or Staff Roll mode Notation window has an option to change the current beat resolution. Previously, the only way to do this was to right-click on the time line.
•There's a keystroke entry notation mode - the 'N' mode, which lets you enter a melody entirely using keystrokes. The keystrokes are N to enter a note, up/down cursor to change its pitch, and left/right cursor to move the time line.
•You can now edit any track in the Event List Editor. When The dialog opens, it will show you the MIDI data in the current Notation track.
•You can quickly enter forced accidentals from the right-click menu.
