Torrey,

Seems like every song I’m clicking on tonight is just killer—welcome to the club because this is excellent. Not sure what “rock” sound you had in mind, but this sound fits just perfectly. Glad the road led you there. Great production work—slick. Love the mandolin work here; nice touch. Good luck with this one!

Kindest regards,

Deej

Another really good song. It seems the forum is full of talented people and Torrey you are clearly one of them. I enjoyed this song.

Sometimes I feel so awkward to be outside of your normal comfort groove. But you were right on this one! The style fits the song perfectly! Congratulations for going with the flow of the music and agreeing to being a little uncomfortable. I really liked the half-step movement of the melody is you started the lyric. That really captured my interest. And of course the production is so professional, and the sound is so great. Thanks for sharing your outstanding work!

You are probably aware that the two of us played in a bluegrass band for many years. We still continue to listen to the genre and its sub-genres.

Bluegrass is a big tent but we would place this squarely in the more progressive spot under that tent. We are very impressed. Not everybody can jump into this genre and make it sound authentic. You did just that.

The great vocals fit the genre (you remind us of Dan Tyminski who is in Krauss's Union Station and records solo)
The band fits the genre (love that acoustic solo)
The write fits the genre very well
And the mix presents it all on a great soundstage.

You've got that mix up against the ceiling but it still breathes and drives all the way through.

A big old sincere WOW!!!

J&B

Torrey,

I don't know you got got there but I am glad you did.

I think you have really found your voice.

This is the most "genuine" thing I have heard come out of you. I LOVE this.

You should do a whole album like this. This is a really great song man.

Janice and Bud hit this square on the head, has Alyson Krauss and Dan Tyminski foot-printed all over it. I can't imagine a better sound than this. It's hard to think of any other arrangement and/or style that would be a better fit. I'm simply blown away. This isn't just great - it's great and a half!

Alan

Thanks rayc! I always appreciate your comments! I agree about the phrasing of that one vocal line in the first verse. I remember when I recorded it having the thought, “I’ll fix that later “. I plan to re-record the vocals this weekend because there are several “off” notes here and there. T

Wow, Torrey, I just adore this. Everything's already been said above, so I'll just say that it's a great song (lovely pre-chorus section) superbly produced with top drawer vocals and terrific guitar parts. For me the backing vocals are highlight and when those 'ooohs' come in I get definite goosebumps! Love it!

Not typically the style of music that I would listen to, but this tune is special. Goes in like water. Very nice harmony and backing vocals. I enjoyed it much. Listened to it 3 times smile

Torrey, you say: "How in the world did I get here?"
I believe special things happen when you experiment.

Great feel to this song. love the harmonies and the mandolin. Really great vocals overall, those rich backing vocals. Excellent work. Great guitar fills too. Those vocals must have taken quite a bit of work but it all definitely worked out. Really enjoyed it.

What a cool intro. This one kind of shocked me. It is so different from your other tunes. Love the solo you did on the acoustic. Super vocal and backtrack. Loved the mandolin. So many cool sounds in this so. Definitely one of your best tunes....

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."
