Isn't Band-in-a-Box great? I wasn't truly comfortable with the rock ballad version of Daybreak (written with Ron Roker) so I had a bit of time today and recorded the song in a different style. DAYBREAK (THE RAINING AMERICANA FOLK VERSION) Xtra style used: RAININ+ (Raining Americana Folk MultiStyle) Category: Country

Joanne Cooper,
That is a great composition.
Could you share the details of the tracks you used since they are not the tracks that show up in the " demo " for Xtra style RAININ+ (Raining Americana Folk MultiStyle) Category: Country . I realize that they would not be since you composed an original composition based on that Xtra Style.
Hope my question makes sense although i've only just finished two pots of coffee.

Joanne,
This style suits the song to a T. The pulsing rhythm guitar is a good fit for the repetition in the lyrics ( which are well crafted). Really good!

Loving it, Jo! Your pristine and beautiful voice keeps the listener interested.
Another wonderful production throughout.
Your mastery of BIAB/RB is also noteworthy. That's why I call you the ambasatrix of PG Music. You make the software 'shine.'
Kudos, dear lady.

I prefer this version, simple but yet powerful folk, vocals and melody sound haunting.

Thank you W, Robert, Don, Bob, Janne and Fiddler. I appreciate the listen and comments. w..the tracks are all from the Rainin American Folk style. I just did some serious editing in RealBand so at the beginning you only really hear the guitar. The vocal oohs and aahs come in later.
The tracks used are: ~701:Bass, Electric, PopHalfNotesSync Ev 085 RealTracks in style: 2780:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm Songwriter8thsBrent Ev 085 RealTracks in style: 3027:Vocal Oohs, Background Pop3-part Ev 085 RealTracks in style: 3027:Vocal Oohs, Background Pop3-part Ev 085 RealDrums in style: AmericanaRoots16th^01-a:Toms, b:Snare

Interesting to hear the song two different ways. Strong vocal performance in both. I think the Americana backing tracks better suit the song.
Good luck on the competition.

While I quite liked the earlier rock version, this one obviously is far more complimentary to your vocal chops (of which you have plenty). And then, a good song is a good song regardless - much harder to make a good song bad than the other way round, innit

Hello, Joanne
Nice song and strong vocal! I agree with Janne. I also prefer this version, simple but yet powerful folk, vocals and melody sound haunting. Enjoyed my listen a lot. Good luck with the Xtra Styles 5 contest!
Best regards.

Janne I think Janne said what I was thinking very nicely. Your vocals are always such a pleasure. The vocal harmony on this is fantastic. And the percussion is perfect. What a great listen! best to you & good luck! Alan
