Kenny, liked this very much...mix was real nice, and overall I thought the composition hung together perfectly, music/vocal/lyric. I had to go back and read your comment about the quick fade at the end b/c I wish it wasn’t there, but I understand why you had to do it. Great performance as well, thanks for sharing it.

"When I get back home to Evangeline
Where I can be a simple man
With my simple dreams
Making love in the morning light
I know that I’ll sleep better at night
And everything in the world will be alright
When I get back home to Evangeline"
Man, what a chorus! You never disappoint and we always look forward to a new Kenny song.
"...why I can’t keep my voice from distorting and cracking"
We have a suggestion: DON'T TRY! What you describe to us is simply soul and heart. Americana (and other genre's) have plenty of vocalists with what you describe and we like EVERY one of them. It's a gift...treasure it.
The write, the aforementioned vocal, the BiaB Band and the production are all in the pocket.
Terrific!
J&B

Some really good writing here. I love your two verses so much I wanted to hear more about this character.
I can hear the J. Isbell but also maybe some Jackson Brown.
And your Vocal suits the vibe perfectly.
Good song writing and a delightful up-tempo rocker!
Keep up the great work!

I really enjoyed my time with this song, and I even enjoyed your way of thinking that comes through in your songs.. And your thoughts.
I have a quick fade out on this song and it’s an attempt to hide the ghastly clam of a converted midi file Bass note that decided to abruptly cut off. I converted to a wav file when extracting it into my DAW.
I know that flex tool in Logic Pro should be able to stretch this note and do the same for the converted piano chord. I had already done my EQing of bass and drums and found a nice amp and tuned it in for my guitar soloist when I discovered the ending, so sue me. BIAB does so much of the work for us, but I consider my mixes to be a nice homemade demo that a professional could work with or start all over with.
That Kenny is what you know it is all about... so speak your Mind.
Well done Bro, Ah, it was just morning rambling thanks for the listen and kind words

The song is terrific, the fade out is fine, the protestations seem odd but the songs and the delivery are what matters.
Distortion is often desirable. Ray, thanks for dropping by for a listen, I knew that I could count on you for an honest take on that quick fade ending. meanwhile... everybody talkin' 'bout protestations, revelations ,constipation, procreation, devastation, manipulation all we are sayin'...

What a tune! I can't believe how catchy this was from the get go. I definitely can see myself humming this in my head for the day. That aside, your vocals are strong and memorable, and there's some great progressions as well. Top notch stuff, you should be proud! Thanks for sharing 
Cheers,
Deryk

Hi Kenny,
Clicking onto one of your songs is like being a kid and opening a Christmas present. You do know what's waiting but you know you're gonna like it. And you know how to wrap a song with a perfect band and vocal. Your vocals are always captivating. the dgy timbre in your voice causes your vocals to explode like a 4th of July bottle rocket.
And you are so right - "if your song is good then anyone should know that’s it’s good even if presented with only your voice and one instrument." That, in my opinion, is the true virtue of the song. When you get down to the bare bones, is it still a great listen? if so, you know you did good. And you always do good. Thanks for the ear candy. Loved it!
ALan Thanks Alan, I always appreciate your kind words and support I was down in Texas recently and drove by the old "Wishing Well" club. It's closed now and barely standing... another bygone era

Kenny, I don't know if you saw my previous comment which I have now edited, I had trouble hearing your track at first, but disregard that! Now that I could hear it, it's great! But that's the norm for your work! This has that raw wonderful sound that I love! Great vocal and song! Thanks, Torrey Hey Torrey, Glad it worked on second try, I really appreciate your listens, support and very kind words. I always look forward to your next song.

Kenny, Like all that has come before this, your writing, arranging, singing and production glisten with musical competence. The first thought that came into my mind as I listened was, "This is a man who knows how to make good music". It's so true. The lyrics to the first verse pulled me into the song hook, line and sinker... terrific writing! Each time I listen to one of your songs, I find myself reflecting on your lyrical images and your musical twists and turns and making mental notes for my own future work. It's definitely enthusiastic thumbs up from me for this creation All the best, Noel Noel, As I read this I'm thinking I could say the same things about you and your writing and songs. I definitely appreciate your kind words, I admire your knowledge of music how you can break things down and give us all a better understanding of some of the classics. Your arrangements and harmonies especially always impress (knock me out) on your song postings. I always read your postings because there's always something to be learned, they have great value.

Kenny,
Noel already praised the first verse, so I`ll have to second that; its great writing!
Everything works on this - " in service of the song" as you put it so well.By the last chorus its hard not to sing along.
Excellent work!
Robert
Robert, coming from you I take that as a great compliment you are such a strong writer! I'd love to think that someone's singing along to that chorus

Very nicely kicking pop-rock song with very catchy chorus, reminds me a little of The Jayhawks. Great powerful vocals and excellent mix. Mandolin and the solo guitarist sound very nice.

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."
