As Robert so well stated, "Leon does that wry observation thing as well as anyone I can think of"

And, you nailed that Dylanesque vocal feel. Something we should hear more of!

Nice guitar, write, vocals, harp...nice everything.

Well done y'all!!!

The beginning is sudden - maybe a fade in of the 1st 2 seconds?
The spoken/singing is as Knofler as Dylan and more Ian Hunter than both - if the organ was mixed higher it'd sound more like Mott the Hoople.
Cool song.

And the crowd stands, sways, and sings along with that chorus! Just great.

Dylanesque in a non-ironic way. I like this a lot.

Peter:

This is a terrific write and outstanding production—some killer lines in those lyrics. Really hits on all facets of the song—like the back up harmonies starting on that second chorus. I like the Dylan feel to this, but would love to hear in contrast what a less Dylan-esque take might sound like. Great, great tune. Enjoyed it a ton.

All the best,

Deej

Wonderful writing! Great retro vibe - To the composition and especially the vocal!


well done all around!


Much appreciated Lawrence.

Nice write, well sung, classic sound. Catchy chorus.

In spots the vocal seemed a bit buried in the mix. Or my hearing is going. crazy Didn't want to miss any lyrics, because it's a well written.

Like others, I enjoyed the listen.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Peter & Leon,

As many others said, this is very Dylan.
The chord progression is also very Dylan-like.
I agree with Dave.
You should handle the lead vocal more often, Peter! I dig Leon's vocals of course but you have something special happening too.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
